Come and listen
I cannot tell you how excited I was to first start this blogging project thing back in April. I was excited for how it would impact my prayer life. I was excited to share my experiences. I had no idea how much this one little daily blog would affect my life. Some days, it's hard to find time to blog or even listen to the song. Some days, I struggle with finding something to blog about. Some days, I know immediately after the first listen. Some days, I think I know immediately, but after more listening, I realize something else is a little more important. Some days, it's scary how perfect that song was for that day. Some days, I wonder if there's anyone out there (besides my fellow bloggers) who will actually read this.
Today, I was listening to the song at work, but I didn't want to bore people around me with the same song on repeat. So I opened up my "pray a new song" playlist and hit shuffle. Hearing some of those songs, it was less like listening to a song, and more like meeting up with an old friend. I remembered what stuck out to me when I blogged about it. Tried to determine if that's still my prayer associated with that song, or if it's changed. Is there a new lyric that sticks out to me? Am I still stuck in that rut in my faith life that it's the same prayer, even though that song was a month ago? I know I blogged about changing this or that in my life, but did I actually? How long did it last?
It's hard to believe, but I'm approaching month number 5! And I can't imagine my life without pray a new song! It's helped my faith life along, it makes sure I'm keeping in constant contact with God - even during the tough times, it gives me a place to publicly state my prayers - even if no one is reading, it has changed my life for the better. So thank you Chris, for creating such a place and inviting me to "come and listen."
