How Sweet the Sound...

Music is my escape. I believe it is an amazing tool that can help ANY situation. The best kind of music therapy is putting in earbuds and turning the sound up...HIGH! No one else can hear what you are hearing, and you can fully submerse yourself. I have always been one that can really hear the message in songs, and just a good tune or voice alone can fill me with energy and life. Music is how I express my feelings and even figure out what my feelings are. I can also sing or play my ukulele to relax and relieve stress or other emotions.

Music is a huge way that I connect with God! I sing in church and love Christian music! Over the past few years I have even learned to harmonize! This gives me so much freedom and gives me an amazing skill. So music to me is not just something I listen too, it is one of my skill sets I bring into all of my activities. Being able to use it to praise God and spread his word is the best use of all!

Another thing I enjoy about music is watching what it can do to other people. For example, when I sing at church and the lights are low, I can feel the energy of the song being sung. I look out into the congregation and see how overcome everyone is, and how touched the people in the band are too! Music has the power to bring people together. No matter whats going on in the world, when people come together to worship or to listen to music, everything is OK for a while. The fact that it can have that much power over people is unexplainable!

I think music is the best medicine! I hope that maybe now you can see music they way I do, as an amazing tool to accomplish anything! Next time you're listening to music just close your eyes, breathe, and imagine all the possibilities!
