I just finished watching the first interview since Maria Chapman's tragic death by Good Morning America's Robin Roberts since. An album by Steven Curtis Chapman was the first I ever owned (a cassette tape), and while you may not love his musical style, he has lived a life boldly, honestly, and courageously for Jesus Christ in front of an audience of thousands. Already having three children of their own, he and his wife have adopted 3 Chinese girls, and they are champions for adoption all around the world. It is so cool to see the compassion and love they have for their children. Maria was a beautiful girl and her story just hit me harder than most tragedies.
Check out the interview here. It's worth 10 minutes. Watch for the unique perspective, albeit honest, that these people possess.
Also, his most recent hit song, "Cinderella", was written for his 3 adopted daughters and it means something wholly different since his youngest died.
"We grieve with hope."
"That's what faith is. It's living with the questions."
