Music Speaks

Before I get into my topic of the day I have a story. I woke up this morning kinda lazy to leave the house before at least mid afternoon but I was hungry. I dont have much food here as why I need to leave the house but I figured I could find SOMETHING. That I did, I found some old buns in the freeze I had made a while ago. They werent the best but they could do. I also had some frozen fruit so I thought...lets have a honey bun with a shake. So I started to thaw the bun and the fruit in the microwave I set it for 5 min. Thinking the bun would take like 45sec I checked it and it was still hard so I left it in for almost 3 1/2 min and then it was good enough to eat while the fruit thawed. While I was hungry and the bun with honey was really good...I am hungry everything is good. So I decided while I blended the fruit for my shake I would put another bun in and have another honey bun so I set the microwave for 3 min and just before it beeped there was smoke coming out everywhere. To be honest I opened the microwave to see the bun and there was so much smoke that I just closed it again before setting off the smoke detector. No idea if that bun is hard black rock or if I blew up my microwave but I tell you it was bad...so I kinda laughed, said figures and took my shake opened all the windows and walked away. I should check out the microwave sometime and see what really happned. :)

Now to the post part. I think this is one of the best posts becasue I just love getting into music. It totally makes my day when I hear a song. I have a great friend who shares music a lot with me and I just love it. I love when they send me a song and it just fits with whats happening. I love hearing a new song at church or an old song that just hits me and challenges me to be different, to keep going or to not give up.

I often cry when I listen to music becasue it just hits my soul and it makes me cry becasue I am happy, or reminds me how blessed I am.....or just how God loves me at my highs and my deepest lows.

I want to share with you 25 songs that I really like. There are so many songs I like and I will share more over the time to come but here is a list of songs. I would share the story behind each one but we will be here all day.. lol. But I hope you listen not to the singer but to the lyrics and the heart of a God who loves us, wants a deep relationship with us and wants to challenge us in a deeper relationship with Him.

Find a friend today that you can share music with, books with , or art, etc. Talk about How God is speaking to you through it all. In relationships with others we need to start getting deep. Not just surface fun stuff but lets get deep with friends, espeacially those close to you. Open up break down walls and lets reach out together to God, for God and help others find the freedom In Christ and Christ alone.

Christ is enough though its hard to believe. We are beauitful, handsome, and made perfect by God. God wants all of us the hurt the pain the good and the bad run to Him. God was and is and is to come. Make Him number one in all you say and do. Have you given up? A friend shared this quote with me today.
