Music

Oh my goodness. What would I do without my music? What an incredible gift from God music is. It can make you cry, in the best way. Almost like it makes you feel closer to Heaven. You know - that type of music. Often just a single instrument. A piano. A violin. It absolutely takes my breath away.

Music is my only sanity sometimes. When I'm upset, angry, sad, I shut myself in my room, pick up my guitar or turn on my keyboard and just play whatever best expresses the emotions I need to get out. It calms me.

When I think about the fact that music is a gift to us from God... it just gives me the most worshipful state of mind whenever I'm listening to something that really touches me. I'm not talking about lyrics, although words can be extremely powerful, but the emotion that comes purely from music and music alone. It can excite you, relax you, melt you, make you absolutely heartbroken... simply from sound. How powerful is that? What kind of awesome God must we have for something like that to even be possible? To be so completely moved ... by a sound.

Wow.

Nine years ago God used music to change my life. It's through music that He's chosen to use me. Which I consider quite a privilege. Even though I'm still yet to make it big in the music industry, I've been onstage enough to know how easy it is to take it for granted. Every time I perform is an absolute honor to serve The King. God, help me to never forget that.

Thankyou Jesus for music!!

Summer = ewww

So, I love Spring. It has this reawakening-type feeling and the temperature is always perfect. But then comes Summer. And it's hot. And you cannot escape that heat. Even with AC it's, just....hot. So I thought I'd try to go along with it and plant a flower garden. We have a HUGE flower bed. So far I have been weeding for a total of five hours. My back hurts. I am dripping sweat - no, seriously. I look like I just took a dip. And it's 100% sweat. Yucky!!!
BUT, I'm sure that once my lovely flowers are planted.... I'll still hate Summer. Hahahahahaha.
Winter is so wonderful. Why does everyone hate it? I love looking out the window and seeing the world completely white while I'm snuggled under a blanket with a cup of hot chocolate next to a crackling fire. Is it just me, or is that bliss? Eh? EH??? Summer's horrible. The End.
