My Musical Moods

Some days I wake up to the cheerful sound of Love chirping. She courts me to dance with her, and I do. We twist, we spin, and we step on each others toes as we sway to the music that is her laughter. Her eyes are the stars on a cloudless canvas and her smile is the warmth of the sun on a cold winter day.

Other times I am awakened by the soft weeping of Love’s twin sister, Sorrow. My soul is compelled to cry with her and to share in her suffering. Her tears are the twisting and turning of a sleepless night, but the subtle strength in her voice is the beginning of spring after the snow. 

Recently, my days have been filled not with the songs of Love or Sorrow, but rather, with the beckoning of Silence. She calls for me to come and stay a while with her. It is strange and awkward at first, the nothingness, but slowly there comes a comfort not found in any other sound. Her muteness is the calm in the center of my storm.

It has been a rather quiet week.

After laughter, I believe that the sound of a piano ballad is the best remedy.

Then confusion and the doubts you had up and walk away.

My daily reminder

Hope all things in the Lord

Surrender all things in the Lord

For hope without surrender leads to obsession and surrender without hope leads to depression.

Above all, patience in His will and timing and remembering that He is my first love.

Though a storm rages in me, Your steadfast love anchors my soul.

My hopes and dreams
Here at Your feet
I’m letting go
I’m letting go

I may be weak, but Your Spirit’s strong in me.

My flesh may fail, but my God, You never will.

"Millions call themselves by His Name, it is true, and pay some token of respect to Him, but a simple test will show how little He is really honored among them. Let him be forced into making a choice between God and money, between God and men, between God and personal ambition, God and self, God and human love, and God will take second place every time. Those other things will be exalted above. However the man may protest, the proof is in the choices he makes day after day throughout his life."

Road trip to SF! Good way to start spring break.
