The song received 23 adds within the first week, and debuted at No. 50 on the National Christian Audience Chart and “New & Active” on AC Monitored. The song tells the story of Haleigh who was involved in a car accident in December of 2006. In a time of frustration following 13 surgeries and a multitude of hospital visits, Haleigh’s mother told her daughter “the Lord doesn’t put anything on us that he doesn’t think we are strong enough to handle,” to which Haleigh said, “Well he must think we are pretty freaking strong then!” The full story behind the song can be viewed by visiting, http://www.youtube.com/user/matthewwestmusic?feature=mhum#p/u/6/kt2kVS0Z3xI
