Uncool Vulnerability

So It's been a long time since my last blog post. My previous blog was a pathetic lovesick post, but it was how i felt at the time. Ive grown up a lot since then, and this post will be nothing like that (:

Music. It has such a deep affect on us. Sometimes music is our shelter from the hurricanes life throws our way, our escape from harsh reality into the solace of hope and love. Sometimes it is the soundtrack to warm summer days filled with joy, laughter and summer romances. It is obvious to me that God is musical. He speaks of singing angels and gave humans a deep desire and connection to music. He delights in our worship of him through music. I also believe he gave us music to speak to us and to be our shelter. Everyone has a song that speaks to them, that contains words written by a stranger but that seems to be the very words of their heart. No other art speaks as impactfully and bravely as music. Songs (good songs anyway) are not "cool" they are vulnerable. Songs that realize we are not cool, that we fail. But in this realization, also knowing that these are the things that make us human. These are the things we can all relate to, especially in an incredible art form such as music.
