Music

Music is a passion of mine. I grew up playing the flute, piano, alto sax and even the tuba for a brief stint in the middle school band. I also sang, at school in choir and at church, eventually I led worship for high school youth group & for our high school baccalaureate service. I have a musical family, when we get together it isn't uncommon for Jon, my second oldest brother, to pull his guitar out and we all join in song for awhile. And while I haven't done much with this talent for awhile, music still moves me. Even without great lyrics, if it rocks, I'm all over it! I've also seen this love of music start to foster in my kids, I LOVE this! Makes me beyond ecstatic!

Several years ago my oldest brother, Ben, gave us a CD of music, the band was Jesus Culture and I had never heard of them before. It took me awhile to finally listen to them, Ben said they were really good, but I must have been busy at the time, who knows? So eventually turned into finally and I popped them in, it was awesome! Never before had I heard such spirit led worship music. Now when I listen to Jesus Culture, without fail, I am reminded of my brother Ben & his wife Rose. They are a faithful duo! They are steadfast & always aware of where God is directing them in life.

This Christmas I got another CD from them, the title is 'Tides' by Bethel Music, I couldn't wait to listen to it! If it were as good as the last, I wasn't going to be disappointed. Song #7, 'I can feel you' by Jenn Johnson, was amazing from the beginning. First, I loved the music, then I really listened to the words. This song epitomizes what I've been going through in life the past several years. God has really opened my heart to show me how he has been directing me, even though I didn't think so. My life is forever changed with an awareness of who he is and what he really does in my life.

God longs for our heart, I can see that now.


Here is the song on if you want to listen. Enjoy!
