The Afters – Live On Forever CD Review #TheAfters, #FlyBy

September 22, 2016

 

the-afters-cd-1

Founded by Joshua Havens (vocals/guitar/keyboard) and Matt Fuqua (guitar/backing vocals), The Afters was formed as the two musicians who worked together as baristas at a Starbucks in Mesquite, Texas began playing for customers at the local coffee shop.

After facing tremendous obstacles in their personal lives The Afters emerge out of their circumstances with a story to tell. The Afters group is back with the release of their fifth album. The Afters brand new CD is titled Live On Forever. Through dealing with a loss of a loved one, receiving a bad diagnosis, family and friends losing their loved ones, The Afters are still standing. It is through their hardships, heartaches and pain that they emerged stronger in their faith, stronger in their relationships and stronger as a band. These tumultuous situations have increased their strength and trust in God and their appreciation for His faithfulness and mercy.

 

I loved this quote from one of the band members:

“It’s about standing up against fear and knowing God is always with us,” Havens explains. “It’s one of the takeaways we hope people get: ‘Don’t give up to fear.’ That captures the theme of the whole record and stands out as representing what we want it to be.”

 

My Thoughts:

I didn’t really know what to expect when I received The Afters CD. I don’t normally listen to pop, rock or some styles of contemporary Christian music. I love my praise and worship music, don’t get me wrong, I just wasn’t used to listening to this style of worship music. I could totally relate to their message through the music. The messages were to stand strong, faithfulness in the midst of circumstances, God is with you and He is your refuge and strength in the times of trials and troubles and so much more.

My favorite tracks from the CD are:

  • Shadows
  • Live on Forever
  • Battles
  • Time of My Life
  • Sunrise

This was a perfect CD to listen to while I was transporting my kids to their many activities, and they enjoyed listening to the music too. They lyrics were easy to follow and sing along, once we learned the lyrics! The music was a mixture of pop and uptempo beats with a hint of rock. If you enjoy this style of music, this CD is perfect for you. We have enjoyed the CD, listening to the music, singing and dancing along.

 

The Afters are scheduled for a 40+ City Tour with the Newsboys starting September 22nd. Check the links below for Tour Dates and cities near you.

Entering 2021 with an “Intentional” mindset!

Here are a few tips to be more mindful and intentional this year!

This is my word of the year and it is so important to be a good steward over everything we have been entrusted with! (Work in progress!) 😀

So how will you spend your year?

But be ye doers of the word; and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. James 1:22

Hope 

I heard a song that reminded me of all the times I stood in my bathroom praying and crying out to God asking Him to change our situation and bless us with a new house. We looked for a solid 10 years new and old, short sale, foreclosures, for sale by owner, etc. We saw it all. But it wasn’t the right time. Other people’s destiny is tied into yours (another post on that later).

And as I am typing this in my new office, in my new home that I had been believing and praying to God for - for literally almost 20 years!

As tears are running down my face and stinging my eyes, these are tears of thanks and praise and pure gratefulness.

I shared this because I need you to know that there are blessings on the other side. Keep hoping for the future!

I remember where we were and how blessed we are now, by the grace and mercy and favor of God!

If I know anything for sure, it’s that God is a miracle worker and blessing giver! Keep praying, keep trusting! 

That thing you are believing God for - keep believing. Don’t stop now!

Storms come and go, trials and circumstances won’t last always. Even if it takes 20 years to see the manifestation of those prayers - are you willing to wait and go the distance without wavering, without caving in, even when “it looks” like nothing is happening. Will you stay faithful and keep trusting no matter what?

The blessings are on the other side - keep going! I’m rooting for you! Testimony loading...
