Album Cover Significance

My life is not built on the sand anymore. I might be sitting on the sand in the desert near San Diego, where my husband, Leo, took this photo. We are Australians now living in the United States. I believed in Jesus for my good when He said, “Go,” and I sold everything I had and went with Leo and our three daughters. Today, I must keep believing just as firmly as I did at that time and from the start when I first heard the way to freedom – out of the captivity from the Devil and his kingdom and darkness. I was lost in my sins and far from God and Salvation in knowing Christ. Jesus is constantly orchestrating my life for good so that I will be with Him forever in eternity, in His kingdom of righteousness in its fullness.

Story Behind the Film Clip

Leo and I had the idea of filming “Keep Believing” in the desert, with me carrying a lantern to symbolize the light and great treasure we, as believers, carry with us every day of the gospel and Christ. We are to be the light in this dark world, to tell others about Jesus Christ. And we can only do this effectively when we keep believing, just as strongly as we did when we first believed, growing stronger or brighter until the perfect day of Christ’s return. (Proverbs 4:18)

Leo and I had no idea that the evening we were out there, filming this clip, was the actual night Jesus would have been betrayed to be crucified on the cross. It was a full moon, and as we looked up and saw it, we realized it marked the actual time. It gave the film clip a special glow and incredible significance. We are to keep believing as firmly as we did until that perfect day. For Jesus, Himself said – “Those who endure to the end will be saved.” (Matthew 24:14).

Leo and I were delighted and encouraged that Jesus had orchestrated our being out in the desert, filming this clip on the night evil betrayed Him to be crucified. It was our Heavenly Father’s plan, and Jesus knew His birth was for Him to become the source of Salvation. I pray that this little story encourages you to keep watch on all that Jesus, the Son of God, is doing in your life to encourage you to “Keep Believing” until the day you see Him with your eyes! When your faith reaps the eternal life, He came to give.

“Run your race
As He said
Do the work of an evangelist
As He led”
