Something’s Coming

“Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, my God, till I declare your power to the next generation.” — Psalm 71:18

Have you ever walked through a season so hard that you wondered if God had forgotten you or the ones you loved?

I have.

I watched my mother battle Alzheimer’s. Slowly losing her memories, her words, the recognition of faces she had loved her whole life. It was one of the most heartbreaking seasons I’ve ever known. And in the middle of it, I discovered something that stopped me in my tracks.

When everything else faded, the memories, the conversations, the familiar moments — the songs remained.

Music reached my mother’s heart when nothing else could. Hymns she had sung her whole life rose to the surface even when her own name felt distant. And sitting with her in those quiet, sacred moments, God whispered a truth into my heart that I haven’t been able to let go of since:

He is the song that remains when all else fails.

That truth became a children’s book, A Song in Her Heart, written to honor my mother’s journey. But God wasn’t finished with the message. Because the deeper I pressed into Scripture, the more I found it everywhere.

In Moses, singing on the far side of the Red Sea. In David, writing psalms from the darkest valleys of his life. In Isaiah, undone before the throne and yet still saying, “Send me.” And in Psalm 71, where an aging psalmist looks back over a lifetime and declares: “Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, my God, till I declare your power to the next generation, your mighty acts to all who are to come.” (Psalm 71:18 NIV)

Friend, that psalmist could be any one of us.

Which is exactly why I wrote what I’m about to share with you.

The Song of Our Hearts: Remembering God’s Faithfulness Through Every Season is a five-week women’s Bible study rooted in Psalm 71. It’s about how God becomes our refuge in trials, our hope in uncertainty, and the song we pass to the generations that come after us.

It’s for the woman in the middle of a hard season who needs to know God hasn’t gone quiet.

It’s for the woman looking back over her life, wondering if it added up to anything.

It’s for the woman who wants to leave a legacy of faith but isn’t sure she has enough song left to give.

It’s coming soon — and I cannot wait to put it in your hands.

While you wait, I’d love to know: which season of Psalm 71 are you in right now; the song of youth, the song of challenge, or the song of maturity? Leave a comment below. Your answer might be exactly what another woman needed to read today.

Declaring His faithfulness through every season, Kathy
