Really Listening

I forgot how much a song can move you. I forgot how amazing it is when all the instruments and voices come together and make something so beautiful. To just sit back and listen to it, without throwing in any backup vocals of my own.


I was just sitting here praying to God that my voice would come back. (It decided to run away.) I didn't realize how much i sing every single day. Yeah, apparently i love to sing. Anyways. I was forced to just sit back and listen. Pretty amazing.

I've been at such a loss for words lately. Even before i lost my voice i was constantly finding myself struggling to find words to say. God is so amazing. I am learning to wait. It's harder than i thought. Waiting is something that i've learned to do in life. But the kind of waiting i'm talking about, really waiting, the right way, is something i'm still working on. Fully trusting God in that He has a plan for me, that's what i am dealing with. I don't need my voice to do that, i need to know His. Now i'm here waiting. Waiting to hear what i can't say.

So matter how well you know the melody, how much time you spent memorizing the lyrics, or how much you love the beat, just sit back, close your eyes and Listen. Don't forget to enjoy the time you have to hear it too!
