Christian Music - Laura Story - Blessings

After almost losing her husband to a brain tumor in 2006, Laura Story’s song “Blessings” was written as a reminder that God remains faithful even when things don’t turn out the way we expect them to.

“Life is filled with things you don’t expect, but the Bible tells us to respond by trusting God and continuing to worship Him,” Laura reflects on the experience. “God has grown us up, deepened our faith, our awareness of our great need for Him as a savior, daily. We knew it before, but we didn’t see it.”

Laura also works at her church, Perimeter Church, in Atlanta, Georgia doing music and women’s ministry while hiking and bike riding on trails throughout Georgia in her spare time.

Laura and her husband Martin recently welcomed their first child named Josephine Grace Elvington on September 14, 2012.

Christian Music - Laura Story - I Can Just Be Me

Singer/songwriter Laura Story's latest song, "I Can Just Be Me," off her album God Of Every Story (September 30, 2013), is a candid reflection of a powerful discovery in her own life. "It's about me coming to the realization that the majority of problems in my life, are from me playing a role that I was never intended to play," she explains. "It was me, honestly, trying to be God in so many situations in my life. And then realizing how freeing it is just sit back and let God be the one that writes the story."

Christian Music - Laura Story - Blessings

There’s no denying some of the blessings in Laura Story’s life. She wrote the No. 1 worship hit “Indescribable” recorded in 2004 by Chris Tomlin, married a handsome athlete named Martin Elvington the next year, and began working in music and women’s ministry at the 4,000-member Perimeter Church in Atlanta. After signing an artist deal with the INO Records, her 2008 national debut won a Dove Award for Inspirational Album and earned Laura two consecutive nominations for Female Vocalist of the Year—all blessings, indeed.


But amidst that success a brain tumor hospitalized her husband in 2006. The faith Story sang about was put through the unexpected fires of fear and loneliness; most young newlyweds don’t imagine being kept alive at one point by breathing machines or having to find their way through significant post-operative vision and memory loss. Could grace notes resound from such a life-altering struggle? Laura’s incisive new album, Blessings, suggests they do.

“Life is filled with things you don’t expect, but the Bible tells us to respond by trusting God and continuing to worship him,” Laura begins. “Martin hasn’t received complete healing—and that can be hard at times when we view God as all-powerful and all-loving.
