Tonight is the Tenth Avenue North concert!!! I am beyond excited........I'm thrilled! *squeals* I simply cannot wait to be jamming along with my mom and other TAN fans. (:
In honor of this event, I have decided to devote a post to: Music.
Music is something special. It is something great. It is something wonderful and fantastic.
I cannot imagine a world without music, without instruments and lyrics and vocals. What a bleak, dark world it would be!
Through music, people show their love for God. Whether it is writing your own songs to God, playing in a band dedicated to God, or just humming with the artist, music is a great way to show our love to God.
My family is a music family. Big music family. We never go on a trip without the family iPod, and cleaning the house just isn't the same without our tunes.
In college, both my parents worked on the radio station. My dad was even a DJ!!!! So I suppose that's where our love for music spurs from.
Songs can get you through a really hard day, or help you rejoice during a good one. Music never changes....it's always there, ready to uplift you when you need it most.
When I hear certain songs or artists, I am transported back to the location and the place that song made a big impact on me. For example:
Britt Nicole and Switchfoot remind me of: Disney World, and our rental van.
'By Your Side' reminds me of: right after Mom-mom died, when I felt so alone and sad. It also reminds me of riding in the car.
Barlow Girl reminds me of: working out in the basement.
Everything But the Girl reminds me of: Road trips and falling asleep in the car.
Fireflight reminds me of: Awakening Fest and summer.
'I Can Only Imagine' reminds me of: the first time I ever heard a Christian song, other than a hymn.
Newsboys reminds me of: soccer games and Messiah Camp.
Relient K reminds me of: World Views camp and my friend Leah from Messiah.
Stellar Kart reminds me of: singing in the shower.
TobyMac reminds me of: making music videos with my friend Holly
'This is Home' reminds me of: Narnia and ice cream
Tenth Avenue North reminds me of: singing in the car and rainy days
Third Day reminds me of: my bedroom and my pink blanket
Disney songs remind me of: cleaning my room and watching movies
'Revelation Song' reminds me of: Neopets and my computer
There's my post. Have a great day...I'll be thinking of ya'll!!!
Love,
