Music has such a way of reaching into my heart and making it light up and warm up. I love how many styles of music there are and how with each style, it puts me in a different mood. I love almost all kinds of music. I cannot handle the bands that scream because I feel like Satan himself is in that music. I don't like country music that is way twangy. I also can't really handle music that would be on a station my mom likes. She loves Neil Diamond, Jim Brickman, all that light kind of music. Can't stand it. I love finding my soothing music in artists like Norah Jones and Michael Buble, but not all the older Kenny G types. I have also found that music is where I can really meet with God. It has that connection for me. I just came from an amazing concert by Six Chasing Seven. It's the kind of music that I always find myself dancing to and having a great time, but I am also worshipping. Their lyrics are about God, or about life struggles that point you to God. It's just amazingness :) I feel worn out when I attend concerts like that, but I also feel charged. I love anything that makes me feel closer to my Father. Unfortunately, if I am honest, I don't always have those on a day-to-day occurrence. I should. I read my Bible every day and I do take away things and some days do blow me away and I fall totally more in love with my Savior, but lately, those come far and in between. That's with reading the Bible. The minute I go to my room and turn on my ipod to Brooke Fraser, Hillsong, Passion, or some other great Christian artist, I can worship right there in my room or while even taking a shower. It is the most awesome thing! I'm really thankful that God put music on earth. I'm glad that he had some man or woman decide to build an instrument and play. I also am thankful that I have the gift of hearing. I'm glad we can have so many ways and passions that can make us feel closer to our Lord. And I'm thankful that mine, is music.
