Story Behind the Album:

The Album Stone by Stone is an album that cost me much to produce. I don’t mean monetarily, but emotionally and spiritually. It seems a lifetime ago that I began this album, w-a-a-a-ay back in February of 2015. Now well into 2016, I am a different person, really, than the one I was when I started this creative process. I believe God has a purpose for all that he does and allows and that God uses all things for our good if we will abandon ourselves in faith to his will and way in our lives. Sometimes we think we have life locked down. All the big things figured out and then suddenly we feel the ground slip beneath our feet. When all that we thought was solid turns to churning waters MERCY is what holds us. The bedrock of GRACE undergirds all we endure. All the good, and bad, and everything in between, and makes it BEAUTY in us.

When trying to decide the name of this album, GRACE was all that came to mind. I believe the themed thread of grace crisscrosses and doubles back all throughout the songs on this record. The last song, “Much-Forgiven Grace,” is my mainstay. In Jesus Christ weakness is strength and all that is lost is but gain. I hope this encourages you, uplifts you, and pours gentle waters over what, perhaps, has hurt you most. It’s okay. Do you know that? Really. It will all be okay. God sees. He hears. He knows. And in case you didn’t realize it yet—that is a really good thing.
Love you.
—Steph
