I have been walking through life with a few of my friends.

Life that is hard. Life that seems unfair.

The friends I speak of follow Jesus. They trust Jesus with thier lives.

I am in the worship band this morning. I play the keyboard as well as sing backups.

The songs this morning hit me like a rock. 

Not during rehearsal when it doesnt matter. It really wouldn’t be a big deal if I can’t sing or play during rehearsal. 

My tears wait until we are leading 300 others in Worship. Tears blind my eyes making it unable to see notes on the page before me. A lump in my throat making it difficult to sing words. 

Our set list this morning includes 

Alive Again

You make Brave 

Waiting Here for You

During rehearsal, the words don’t jump off the page. 

As I sing the words this morning all I can do is think of my friends. My friends who are walking through the fire of life while trusting Jesus. 

Times in their life where they trust a God to make them brave. 

This blog is just full of my thoughts. 

If you are not a follower of Christ I won’t apologize for my thoughts and words but as I watch my friends travel the dusty dirty road of life and know without a shadow of a doubt that they know Jesus, it allows my tears to be tears of joy.

A few of the words:

You make me brave You make me brave

You call me out beyond the shore into the waves

You make me brave You make me brave

No fear can hinder now the love that made a way

Lyrics speak to my heart

Some people it’s words they read

Some people it’s listening to a person speak.

I am forever grateful for the gift of music. The gifts given to me to play and sing. For the talents of others. 

I won’t apologize for my tears. I will be grateful to words who speaks to me through song.

Have a great day!

Think about your tears.
