Faith will get her through the hard days ahead.

On April 17, 2006, Messina ran the Boston Marathon ... and completed the race, even after injuring her knee.

April showers bring May flowers ... and some really good country songs about rain.

On Feb. 8, 2002, 'Burn' was certified platinum, for sales of one million units.

When Brooks' "More Than a Memory" debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, it broke a record ... that was only one week old.

Messina songs have a lot of attitude.

On Aug. 18, 1998, Messina landed at No. 1 on the Billboard country singles chart with "I'm Alright."
