Magic of Music

Day 10

I love music. It is something that I have always loved. Usually I'm inclined to more upbeat music- rock, pop, alternative, but I also enjoy instrumental music, especially soundtracks and classical stuff. I find that music really influences how I feel. I use it to reflect my mood. It is beautiful. This weekend God used His beautiful music and lyrics to move me. I like the upbeat music more because I worship through dance and art, but the slower worship songs have a quality to them that you cannot find anywhere else. Music is where I really am convicted of my transgressions and where I find my mind wondering. So worship is also a struggle for me to reach God. However, God always brings me back to Him through music! I loved to sing and raise my voice. Often I find myself singing at the top of my lungs. I am not a great singer but I know that God hears me. It reminds me of Sister Mary Patrick in Sister Act 1. She has such a strong voice, but has to tone it back. "Sister Mary Clarence" tells her that everyone wants to be close to God but sometimes we have to come out of the rafters to make everything work together.Over the weekend I found that I lost my voice a little, at least it was a little raspy. It's great to raise your voice though! God is good!

Tomorrow I am done with strictness!! I am eating everything except meat! I am super excited! God has definitely taught me discipline this week of fasting! I think that I am going to do it again, but differently.

Proverbs 3:5,6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all you ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight.

Isaiah 40:30, 31
Even youths grow tired and weary, young men stumble and fall, but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not grow faint.

Luke 10:19
I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy. Nothing will harm you.

Love Forever
