Another side of the story - Just a little bit longer

I'm starting to forget things I swore I'd never forget... the pain, emotions, experiences and hurt that crippled me for a long time. But it's happening... I'm slowly forgetting.  I suppose that's a sign of true healing.  I am, however, grateful for the hours spent bent over this keyboard pouring out my heart into words for all the world to see, because, as I go back and read - I'm able to feel it again, and see where God has brought us from.  And I've learned that there are so. many. other. people. out there who have felt it too.

BUT, there's another side to this story you may not have heard... YET.  
You see, through every loss, each and every one, 
every moment spent in that cold dark room staring at a lifeless screen, 
every moment curled up in the bathroom waiting for death to pass, 
every day spent waiting for my body to complete a miscarriage, 
every ugly faithless moment where I swore God had forgotten me, 
every test, 
every year that passed and every single moment contained within...

There was a man.  who WAS there.  

A man who never left my side, 
who never cringed at the blood, 
who held me through every loss, 
who had faith when I had none, 
who wouldn't let me give up, 
who pretended to be strong even when he himself was falling apart, 
who laid down his joys to serve me and be my rock when so many other things seemed more enticing.

And that man... right there, in the thick of it - when we had been told it was time to move on, that 6 times lost was enough - when we should have given up - he bowed down, and prayed, opened his heart and said Yes to whatever God had for us, and before we even knew what that would be - he put a pen to paper and told his version of the story... in song.


As the songs were written, chains fell and freedom broke through.  As more melodies came, we were strengthened, re-born, and HEALED.

His songs spoke life, brought us freedom, gave us sons, and... an album was created.  A worship album that proclaims God's power and delivers a message of hope and healing.  The song and album title are truly THE anthem to our story - our family.

"If we wait just a little bit longer, we will find out who You are."


I tell you all that to say...  The album is being released tomorrow!  And we felt so strongly about its message, that we wanted the album to be available to anyone, anywhere for free.  So, if you need some hope, a message of life to be breathed back into you, go to:


anytime after tomorrow and you will be able to download your copy.  And I promise you, if you'll hear the words, the message, the worship, and allow the truth to sink in - it can and will be life changing. God is good.

And to that man... Amick Cutler... my husband, thank you.  Thank you for being obedient.  Thank you for being my rock, for believing in me, for believing in us, for believing that God was able to heal - thank you for waiting 'just a little bit longer' with me.  Had we not - I fear - there would have never been a Jude or Brooks.  And I just can't imagine a life without them.  Thank you for allowing God to move in you so these songs could be born.  Thank you for being so passionate about getting this message of hope to others.  Thank you for believing in our story.  I pray that this - is just the beginning.  I love you.

This hope does not disappoint, because God's love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit... Romans 5:5

Be blessed.

  1. Oh Christy, I had not known you had so many losses. I am so thankful for the man of God that God has chosen to walk beside you, to love and strengthen you through it. I did not know you were connected with a house of prayer. I am at Convergence House of Prayer where we are dreaming of one day being 24/7. I look forward to the album and know a few people who will be extremely blessed by it. Thank you for sharing your story and walking in obedience to the Lord to see others blessed and set free.

  2. Christy,
    I'm Katie's mom and just want you to know how touched I am by this beautiful worship album and by your story. We never get to the mountaintop without going through the valley. And the deeper the valley, the more precious that mountaintop is. We are in a bit of a valley right now and I am clinging to God. And I know He will be faithful. He is faithful. I will never tire of the beautiful pictures of your 3 beautiful miracle boys. They are precious and I rejoice with you. I also rejoice because I know that many, many will receive hope because of the price you paid. Thank you. Thank you for your faithfulness and obedience in sharing your story so others may hope. Love in Him,
    Pat Langer
