In 2015 Amy and her family found themselves in the middle of tragic situation that God used to test their faith and trust in Him.  Through it all, the good and the bad, there is no doubt that He is a good God.  Amy’s message of God’s perfect peace in the midst of difficulty through the music will comfort you, encourage you, and will challenge you to fall in love with a God who cares deeply for you.
