Prayer:

El Shaddai, I come humbly before You just to say thank You.

I thank You El Shaddai for getting us all out of 2023 and into 2024 safe and sound. I fully acknowledge before You El Shaddai that all of the people around us inside of our workplaces and outside our workplaces lost their loved ones and are going through difficult circumstances.

There are many that didn't live to see 2024 and I ask that You would touch & completely heal All the families of the people around us that are dealing with loss of loved ones, loss of employment, their homes and betrayal from family and friends.

I ask El Shaddai that You would heal all broken relationships in all families and friendships and bring forgiveness and reconciliation for them all for 2024 in the mighty Name of Jesus Christ.

Heavenly Father El Shaddai, I lift up Casondra Jent and all others that You know by name before You right now.

Words have the power of life-changing encouragement and life-altering detrimental damage to us. Almighty GOD, Your Word tells us
in the book of Proverbs 18:21 (Amplified Bible): "Death and Life Are in the Power of the Tongue, And those who Love it and Indulge it will Eat its Fruit and Bear the Consequences of their Words."

Words and actions hurt us the most when they come from family, friends and even bosses and colleagues from our workplace on a daily basis. Words have the power to heal and harm.

Heavenly Father El Shaddai I ask that You would remove ALL emotional and psychological trauma from Casondra Jent's mind, body and soul in Jesus Name.

I ask that You El Shaddai give Casondra Jent strength and courage to forgive herself. Give her the courage to love herself and the knowledge of knowing that she is truly a great blessing and an amazing woman who has touched the lives of those around her.

Holy Spirit, help Casondra Jent to see herself the way that You do: a precious soul that has everything it takes to be successful and the grace to handle every challenge in front of her in 2024 and beyond.

Holy Spirit, send ministering Angels 😇 😇 to protect her from all harm and danger, both seen and unseen.

Holy Spirit, remove all demonic spirits of doubt, rejection, depression, self-harm, anger, bitterness, unforgiveness, and suicide from Casondra Jent right now in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ.

Almighty GOD, soak and saturate every part of Casondra Jent with Your unconditional Love, unconditional Grace, unconditional understanding, unconditional compassion, unconditional lovingkindness and unconditional Mercy.

Almighty GOD, give Casondra Jent Your
strength, wisdom and discernment to forgive All those inside her family circle ⭕, her circle ⭕ of friendships and workplace colleagues that hurt her immensely by their words and actions towards her in the past and present.

Almighty GOD, heal Casondra Jent's mind, body and soul inside and out with the precious cleansing Blood of Jesus Christ.

Almighty GOD, give Casondra Jent Your
strength, wisdom and discernment to move forward. Draw her closer to Your unconditional love and mercy. Reveal to her just how much she's truly loved by You Almighty GOD in Jesus Name.

Thank You Almighty GOD so much for what You're doing for her now and for the new chapter you're doing in Casondra Jent's life in 2024. And I thank You for what You're doing in the lives of those around us as it unfolds this year. In the mighty Name of Jesus Christ, I pray, Amen.

Quick side note: El Shaddai means Almighty GOD in Hebrew). Just wanted to make sure that everyone knows that.

It doesn't mean much
It doesn't mean anything at all
The life I've left behind me is a cold room
I've crossed the last line
From where I can't return
Where every step I took in faith betrayed me
And led me from my home
And sweet surrender
Is all that I have to give
🎵🎶
Take me in, no question's asked
You strip away the ugliness that surrounds me
(Who are you?)
Are you an angel?
Am I already that gone?
I only hope that I won't disappoint you
When I'm down here on my knees
(Who are you?)
And sweet surrender
Is all that I have to give
(Who are you?)
And sweet surrender
Is all that I have to give
🎵🎶
Don't understand
The touch of your hand
I would be the one to fall
I miss the little things
I miss everything about you
Doesn't mean much
It doesn't mean anything at all
The life I left behind me is a cold room
(Who are you?)
And sweet surrender
Is all that I have to give
(Who are you?)
And sweet surrender
Is all that I have to give

For the hell of it, I signed up to be a summer DJ at my college radio station back in the early 90's. Anyone who signed up got a slot since it was summer and most students were back home.

We were shown how to use the main board and what songs to play. We had to chose from a huge box of CDs filled with groups you never heard of. I played random CDs since I didn't know any of the music. Then I came across a track named Into the Fire by Sarah McLachlan. I still remember it to this day. It was an all-white CD with the title and artist handwritten with a sharpie. It said "Promo" and had the running time - nothing more.

I was stunned. What a great song. Afterwards, I mentioned the track name on the air and completely mispronounced her last name.

After my shift, I drove over to a popular record shop near campus to look for more Sarah, but they didn't have anything and had never heard of her. Went to another record shop and they had one copy of Vox on cassette. Took it home and listened to the whole thing over and over for hours.

I searched everywhere for her music. Purchased anything from her blindly. I was never disappointed. I guess I can call myself a true fan.

This is my favorite song from her. In one of her live performances, she mentioned the movie Leaving Las Vegas as the inspiration for this song. In another live performance, you can see how her guitarist makes the cool guitar distortion sound.

One day I hope to meet her and thank her for helping this stranger through the miserable nights of my youth when her music was the only thing to console me.

I think the technology and tech addiction has affected us socially, spiritually, energetically and likely in many other ways that we don’t fully understand yet. It feels like an entirely different planet than the one we grew up on. I miss those simpler times when kids weren’t shooting up schools and people pretty much behaved themselves. I feel bad for the kids today who grow up glued to smart phones and TikTok. Watch the trailer for Generation Zapped. This shit ain’t too good for us. We also need to restore the Smith Mundt Act because I think the propaganda has broken the brains of many Americans and deliberately sewed division. They’ve divided the people so the corrupt leaders could conquer the hell out of us and sell our country out from under us. Sorry for the lengthy ramble.

To a minor extent yes, she made some contributions to the lyrics and production.

I am the very first of the Millennial generation (went to high school with GenX), and I am very thankful for all these artists--male and female--from the 90s. They formed a large part of my growing up from jr. high through college. I miss these women these soulful singer song writing breaths of fresh air. Ethereal is the correct way to describe them. Sarah McLaughlan right up there.

I think they perfectly encapsulated the beauty of youth, love, but also the experience and expectation of the future. That is a bit nostalgic, a bit anticipating, also anxious, but know we must experience what's to come. It captured a feeling of careful prescience.

Buy came to darken the experience with a lame miserable complaint. Because posting the lyrics has hurt an robbed your fragile existence. Remember artists move on. Maybe you should too. Take care out there. Love and netter days to you. I trust you will recover.

+stabgod Great story. I first heard her on a promo mix CD my brother gave me, featuring a different take on "Hold On" (so a bit later to the party than you). I played the crap out of that track and immediately went and found her released CDs. Gotten each of her releases every since.

I saw her live recently and this song really rocked. She played it with a bit more edge, a bit more uptempo and it was loud. Great artist, I hope she keeps writing and recording for a long time to come.

NYC FoodPhoto Sarah said on VH1's storytellers that the song was influenced by the film ''Leaving Las Vegas and how these 2 pathetic people fell in love despite all of their flaws and all the ugly things that surround their lives (One an alcoholic, the other a prostitute). They were truly accepting of one another in spite of everything. One dies and that is why she says I miss everything about you.
