Music can hold us all ransom. It can twist us, melt us, revive us, convict us and teach us. It can bring from somewhere and take us to somewhere. Music is the expression of our souls, our prayers, our thoughts, our yearnings. It is how we learn and what we learn. It seeps through the cracks and plants seeds deep inside of us. It’s God’s tool…His gift.
This blog is dedicated to the search and discovery that comes from music when it infects us mind body and soul. When we are laid bare by the undoing nature of music and find out it really is the melody of God played between the notes that is attracting us creating desire. When we interface with God through music both personally and as communities of people an exchange happens between God and man. I want to talk about it.
I am a simple mid-western girl who hungers for more, who dreams a lot and probably is unrealistic most of the time. I have a husband and 2 kids. This reality changes and flavors everything I do and it leaves me even more enthusiastic about life and possibility.
I too have been infected by music. I’m involved in music. I am a singer/songwriter. Sometimes I wear the hat of leadership for local churches in the area of musical expression during a time of gathering, more commonly known as a worship leader but I’m not too fond of that term. Worship is so much more than singing. I sometimes participate in dialog and planning regarding shepherding people spiritually through the use of music and other artistic forms.
I love to experience God moving us through art as well as music. Art is form of worshipful expression itself. It merely reflects back the awe and wonder we find in our world. And isn’t that who God is too, awe and wonder??
In the threads of my fabric weaves a yearning for discovery, learning, awakening, laughter, music and passion. If you can understand this last sentence….Come with me.
