Questions.
Even Christians have to deal with them.
Questions like "Why do people we love have to die?" "Why can
God be everywhere at once, but sometimes I just want Him here with me?"
"Why is life so uncertain?"
Singer/Songwriter Michelle Ruben deals with
these questions in her new EP and DVD set "Until Tomorrow". Produced
by Eric Copeland for Nashville Christian label Creative Soul Records, "Until
Tomorrow" explores sometimes taboo questions for the Christian faith.
In "Until Tomorrow", Michelle
tackles trying to deal with her Mom's recent death (during the production of
this project).
"I just wanted to put off the grief,
you know?" Michelle recalls. "Just have one day where I could put
all the loneliness and pain aside for another day. Of course, it was impossible,
but I remember asking God for that."
The song "Be Here", is a song
asking God to just be there for her, JUST with her.
"Like little kids, I think we all have
felt like that sometimes. I know You can be everywhere, but I just want you
to be here with me for a little bit."
On the stirring ballad, ""Uncertainty"
Michelle looks out onto a new landscape where she walks down new roads in music
and life, all without her best friend and Mom.
"We lived together, she was my best
friend. She encouraged me to do all these musical things. Now I'm leaning on
God to conquer the uncertainty in my life, and walk down all these strange new
roads with me."
The project also includes a second, "unplugged"
version of the title track, offering a new take on the song.
Also included in the package is a DVD with
behind the scenes footage of the making of the project. Michelle shares these
views and more from her perspective.
