Thank You God for Music

And with outstretched arms

I will sing out melodies

And my beating heart

Will pour out a symphony

Hallelujah's in the morning

Hallelujah's in the night

I will wait for you as long as I have life

Music is such a large part of my life. There is something about the strumming of a guitar that jerks on my heart strings. A great melody line can make me melt into a pool of bliss and joy. Certain chords make me feel like I could fly. Beautiful harmonies flowing together is something that is sometimes indescribable. I hope that everyone experiences music the way that I do. If not, they're missing out. When I sing in the shower it just seems to brighten my day. The tunes and beats that make me get up and dance can turn my mood from gloomy to bright. So what if I love to shake what my mama (or daddy) gave me! Sometimes I wish my life was a musical. At times when i'm walking along the side walk listening to a sweet tune on my ipod I envision all the people around me dancing in unison... swinging around light poles, stopping traffic, and just having a grand old time. Music brings people together. It is a universal language. A sad ballad is full of meaning even if it's in a different language and you have no idea what is being sung. One reason why I love Josh Groban. Somehow I know what he's trying to say even though i don't understand the words. I've sung in French, Spanish, Latin, German, Swahili, and others. Every time i put the same emotion into the song as if it were in English because of the music.

I miss performing solos and with the choirs that I was in. I love to share my talent with people. I thank God so much for giving it to me! Especially when i get to use it to praise Him.

The picture above is of me singing in my high school talent show my senior year. That was almost two years ago now.

I'm really liking this whole blogging thing :) I hope someone out there is enjoying it with me.

Thanks for reading... until next time.
