In times of fear and uncertainty, it's important to talk, not listen to ourselves. Here's Nancy DeMas

Walgamuth. Sometimes we just have to like take ourselves and look ourselves in the face and go,

soul, be still. This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth, author of The Quiet

Place for April 27th, 2020. I'm Dana Gresh. Can you guess who that is playing the piano? This is from

the first piano album by our host, Nancy DeMas Walgamuth.

She's about to explain how this recording came about, and she'll show you how to have a still,

quiet soul in the Lord, even when it seems like there's no solution in sight to your problems.

I think we all need that today, don't you? Nancy's beginning a series

called Hems of Hope in Troubled Times. My first conscious memory took place on May the 14th,

1963, when I knelt by my bed as a four-year-old little girl and trusted Jesus to save me. I didn't know a lot of

theology. I probably didn't know that word. I didn't know a lot of fancy terms, but I knew that

he was Lord and that I needed a Savior and that he was a great Savior. And I gave all that I knew of me to all that I knew of him.

And that day, God planted in my heart seeds of a new life that have continued to take root and grow to this day.

And it still amazes me that Jesus would have wanted to save me, or anyone, for that matter. So that was the first,

that's the first conscious memory I have. But that same year, with the encouragement of a musically

gifted mother, I started taking piano lessons. And my legs didn't even reach the floor,

so you can picture this little girl with legs dangling

from the piano bench. But that became a really important part of my growing up experience,

practicing every day, going to piano lessons every week, playing recitals every year.

Some of you have been there. Some of you have children who are doing that now.

And that was a big part of the rhythm of my childhood and teenage years.

And I went on after high school to get a degree, a college degree, in piano performance.
