Have you ever just been driving in your car and a song comes on the radio or from a CD that you've barely listened to but it speaks to your heart? Or have you searched for that song and finally found the words to the feelings that you've been trying to get out all along? Lately, I truly feel that God has helped mend my broken heart with song. In my car I listen to the christian station but sometimes I'll listen to what some christians would call "secular" music. Don't get me wrong, every now and then I don't think too much when I'm singing a catchy song like "POW, POW, POW" by the Black Eyed Peas. What I'm trying to say is that I'm very thankful for lyricists and songwriters. Most of the time I walk around feeling emotions that I can't even pin-point what they are, but if I listen to music it's like I relate in some deep emotional way where words aren't even needed.
I want to aspire to be like that in my lifetime. No, I'm not saying I'd like to be a songwriter, which would be great, but I don't think I'd be good at it. I'm saying that I'd like to do or say, or act a way that has the same influence on others; something that inspires them to strive for a great day, or even a great moment of joy, relief even.
As a christian this is our life song. Our testament can move people in the same way, but it's not like we can just slap a few words that ryhme down on the piece of paper. We've got to first think about what type of song we're going to do, which most likely is based off of our feelings and life experiences. Now we take those feelings and we put them into action; we make words. Then we've got to make sure we've got a proper plan of organization, some sort of rythm to the words. Before you know it you've made a new hit single that's plastered all over the radio. Shouldn't our faith be the same way? Shouldn't we want to desire a life of inspiration for others? Not to become boastful or arrogant, but to be proud in calling our Father, Jesus Christ; that our pride dwells through our actions towards our faith, towards our God.
I want this for my life. I was once a strong woman; stronger than now. I woke up and breathed life with every second the wind blew past me. I looked around with thankful eyes, able to see God's vivid creations. I talked and I walked with Him, putting Him first before anything and everything. Have you ever had a moment like that?
In time I know I'll be an even stronger woman of faith. And I'll soar on wings like eagles as my Father flies beside me.
