What's in your soul?

"Lord, I saw your face last night
When I looked in the sky
You were smiling
You told me it would be okay
You would make a way
In my dark times

CHORUS:
Every time I hear your voice
Every time I feel your touch
It makes me know that I can face tomorrow
One more time

When all my friends go away
I'll be glad to say
You're still near me
Even when the wind blows by
I feel warm inside
You're so lovely

CHORUS
I need you, don't leave me
Without you I can't survive

CHORUS
I know that I can face tomorrow
'Cause you will walk me through
My pain and sorrow
I know that I can face tomorrow
One more time
I can face tomorrow
You can face tomorrow
We can face tomorrow
One more time" One more time-The Katinas

If you haven't listened to this song, I suggest you do. I had someone here show me this song, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. Its funny how when you hear a song, and you know the person, you can tell exactly what is in their heart. Have you ever had that happen? Before the age of iPods, when I still had a BIG CD player in my room and my whole house could hear what I was feeling, there was more of a way to see that in other people's lives. Now it is a bit harder to see that, but I just love that God has created music so intricately and so divinely because it can translate to anyone, in any language at any time. I love how unique music is to other things. Music can penetrate the soul. Words can to, but you have to choose to let them but music cuts to your soul and you may not even know it. I know that I have all different kinds of music. Like on Sunday, during our worship at church, I was asked to sing with the team in Tongan. Although at first during practice it was hard, I knew that whether I understood the words or not, God did and I was praising Him. You know that I can't remember most of those words now, but that song is in my heart. I love that God can show us our soul if we take a step back and look at the music we listen to as well. Growing up our house was only to have Christian Music being played and although as my sister and I got older and the radio stations changed, I understand why. When you let music into your soul, it can determine your mood or your out look on life. Its not just music but anything. When you allow things into the place where God dwells and it isn't apart of His heart, then we begin to wrestle within our own soul. I have been cut off from most things here and although to some of you that may seem boring, there is real freedom in that. There is freedom in not having the pressure or the opportunity to infiltrate my mind with things that are not of God. Although I choose alot of that, there is also no pressure to do so by those around me. I am so blessed to have the opportunity to be here and to experience this first hand. I can't believe that I am halfway through my trip. Here it is November 1st and I am astonished at how fast this seems to be going. I am trying to take every opportunity I have so that when I get home I can look back and know I did all I could while being here and am willing to come back when God allows. May you have a blessed day!!!
