In October 2018, Latter Day Radio had as its guest Michelle Schmidt, mother of several children and the wife of the Piano Guy’s pianist, Jon Schmidt. Her husband’s career was skyrocketing, life was good–they had missionaries out serving and then tragedy struck.
On October 19, 2016, Michelle Schmidt's plane landed in Oregon, where she was meeting her daughter, Annie, for a camping trip. But Annie didn't show up at the airport to pick up her mother as planned.
Thus began a season of searching and coming up short, of miracles and frustrations, of love poured out and faith tested, until Annie's body was finally discovered more than three weeks later in the Columbia River Gorge, where she had fallen while hiking.
As Annie's mother opens her heart to tell her story, her husband's story (Jon Schmidt of The Piano Guys), and Annie's story, she writes: "It is my hope that my journey of being tutored by God to trust Him more—not only through the loss of Annie but through some of my most vulnerable and personal past experiences—will be the means of bringing strength and hope to anyone suffering at this time.”
Her book “Carried” tells of how despite tragedy, trust in the Lord and His Redeeming can heal wounds and remind a family of the eternal blessings that come from letting Christ carry your burden.
