When music speaks

Laying here. Struggling. In many ways.

Prompted I get up. Find my head phones. Turn on music.

Quickly the tears come. The prayers start. The promises in the words sink in.

The titles of the songs speak. The lyrics both challenge and heal.

It's been a rough few months. Currently in the in between. Waiting for answers.

Coming alongside and celebrating with others when life is racing forward. All while feeling as though yours is standing still.

The pain that comes and go. Reminds of the road I'm on. A scary, isolating road.

Just when it feels all is settling, peace begins to envelope, that's when something hits. Something that rocks the core. It comes in the most unseen way. At the most unexpected time.

Now it's clinging to those promises that are being ushered into the soul. The ones learned at a young age. Because they hold true even now.

For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the Lord , 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. Jer 29:11

"I know that You can do all things, And that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted. Job 42:2

To fully believe His dreams for me are better than my own. My head knows it. My heart needs to follow.

For now I'll take it step by step. Day by day. Trusting that His plan will blow me away. All while relishing in the abundant blessings He's already gifted to me.

This song is what He's calling me to.

Come as you are

Driving to work this morning and this song comes on. It both brings me to tears, but also offers peace. In the midst of all this lost, hurt and down right brokenness that seems to surround lately, it offers assurance. God sees it all and although we don't know the whys, we can find confidence that He will heal. If you will, take a minute to really listen to this song. Let the words soak in. Allow the promises to begin the healing process.

Thriving Through Change {Day 21}

Music break. Week three. We've discussed all sorts of change. All the ways to turn change into growth is keeping our focus where it needs to be. This song always tends to light a fire in me when I really worship with it. I hope you'll take the time to do that now.

Tell me, friend. Is there anything in particular (song or otherwise) that helps you to refocus when things have seemed to have gone awry?

Thriving through change {Day 1}

Casting Crowns::Thrive

This song popped into my head as soon as I felt this topic come on. We were not made to remain stagnant. We are meant to change. Not just change but to thrive while going through it. So we start this series with a simple question:

WHAT IS CHANGE?

That may seem like a silly question. Of course, we all know change. After all, everything around us changes every day. For most, even every minute.

Change is as certain as death.

Change defined is this:
a. To cause to be different.
b. To give a completely different form or appearance to; transform.

Change happens in multiple ways. Whether it be physically, emotionally, spiritually, mentally, visibly or not. Most change has one thing in common. It hurts.

So this month we'll be looking into how change forms us. How we can not only tolerate, but learn and grow through times of intense change. As well as see different ways this change can and should draw us closer to our Creator. After all, He knows when, where and how change is coming. The best way to be prepared for it is to remain in consistent contact with Him.
