How music impacts our lives

How music impacts our lives

Not that long ago I was privileged enough to see one of my favorite gospel super stars perform at my church, Smokie Norful.

I can remember listening to his song "I understand" so many times I almost broke my I pod, yes I'm that old that I had a Ipod.
It was my ringtone, it was my alarm music, it got me through the day, sometimes even through the seconds when I thought I could no longer go on, this song gave me hope to hold on. I played it over and over and over. It goes like this...

"Sometimes I feel like giving up, it seems like my best just aint good enough, Lord if you hear me, I'm calling you, do you see? Do you care all about what I'm going through and then he said one more day, one more step, see I'm preparing you, for myself and when you can't hear my voice, please trust my plan I am the Lord I see and yes I understand.
Sometimes I feel like I'm all alone I just like a stranger so far from home, I feel like I've done all that I could do, please Lord give me strength, I'm just trying to make it through... that's when he told me...just one more day, just one more step...
I am the Lord I see you and yes, I understand...
I won't forget nor have I forgot... see everything works according to my plan, I am God trust me, I got the whole world in my hands"

On those dark nights when I so wanted to quit, to give up, to throw the towel in, this song gave me hope, it gave me the courage to hold on, it got me through the night. Yes, this song literally saved my life on more than one occasion.

It was as if God himself was telling me, I hear you, hold on, believe, I am working it out for you..don't give up. And I listened, I held on, sometimes if even if it felt like I was holding on to a string that was broken and frayed, yet still I held on..

So to be able to see this great artist perform this song, well, you know I was balling, yes, I was in the ugly cry.  See here I was years later with this wonderful life that I dreamed of, in this incredible Church that I found, with my amazing Church family,  listening to this song that brought back so many hard times, so many struggles yet here I was, I got through, I held on, I listened.

I got through to this blessed life that I am now living, I couldn't help but cry and give thanks for all the gratitude that I felt in my heart. I felt like i needed to be hearing the Rocky theme song "Eye of the tiger" because I made it.

So thank you Mr. Smokie Norful and the thousands of other song writers and singers, who's music not olny fill our lives with joy but can literally save our lives as well.
Your never know what an impact you have on so many people including myself.

So today my friends, when it seems like your all alone, when some days it seems like all you have is your music to comfort you, pick a song that will give you hope, that will lift you up, that will make you believe you can do anything,something that will inspire you to believe that change is coming.

Pick that song and listen to it, play it over and over again, make it your theme song. Then believe...believe...believe, that change can happen and that anything is possible because I am living proof that it is.
"Be the change you want to see"
  
"And just when the caterpillar thought his life over...he turned into a beautiful butterfly"
