Heather Williams - Vocalist - God Moves in a Mysterious Way
"HEATHER'S STORY IS ONE OF SURVIVAL, TRAGEDY, AND TRIUMPH.
Born in Dearborn, Michigan, she suffered intense verbal and physical abuse and was eventually given away to another family at the age of eleven. Other loving family members stepped in to help, but the damage had been done. At eighteen Heather found herself homeless and needing drugs or alcohol to make it through the week. She also had developed serious anger issues from the abuse. In the midst of this hopelessness, God stepped back into her life and brought help. Still eighteen, Heather gave her life back to God and met the man she would soon marry who was on a home music mission trip to Michigan.
Heather moved to Florida with her husband and began singing in churches throughout the United States - over a hundred concerts a year in fact. She found the thing that she not only loved, but was made to do. Things were good and record companies came calling. In the midst of the success, Heather became pregnant with her first child - a son - Caedmen. The excitement of his birth had hardly worn off when tragedy hit. In less than 24 hours, baby Caed passed away from an enlarged heart with no warning. The doctors at the hospital had no explanation and Heather's world was shattered.
Again, she gave her life to God. He helped her pick up the pieces and returned to ministry. Heather launched an innovative worship concert service called "Worship Loud" at her church in Port Saint Lucie which has grown to as many as 1000 worshippers on Saturday nights. Friends from Nashville also came to offer love and support. Rebecca Saint James put Heather's story in her "She" book to commemorate Caed's life and Heathers new found strength. Rebecca's Dad was also instrumental in getting Heather back into the studio to write and record. In 2008, Heather finished her latest album under the direction of Ainslie Grosser (Britt Nicole, Newsboys, Rebecca Saint James) and Rob Hawkins (Fireflight, Jackson Waters). Now she travels from coast to coast to share the miracle of what God can do through our pain and the voice that He gave her to sing through the night until the morning comes."
