Amanda suffered abuse as a child and speaks at women’s conferences to help others. Amanda and Aaron have also shared the story of their 2-yearold daughter Eva falling from the babysitter’s second-story window while they were at the 2009 Dove Awards. They rushed to the hospital to find her bloody and crying.
“We saw her lying there and her head was split open and her lip was severed from her jawbone,” says Aaron. “It looked really bad, but at that moment Amanda and I chose to start singing praises to God to get her calmed down, and that’s when I realized what true worship was about. It’s trust in God when it looks impossible, trust in God when all is hopeless.”
The doctors did an MRI and were surprised to find no serious damage. They stitched up her wounds, but nothing was broken and she was able to leave the hospital a few hours later. “If you don’t know if you’re going to make it to the next day, or you don’t know if your daughter is going to come out healthy, the thing God teaches us is just, ‘Trust Me. Put Me first and watch Me do what looks impossible!’”
