my world in song

music has, is and i believe, always will be such a dynamic part of my life. an enchanting melody, a truth-packed chorus, a bridge of inspiration...they all resonate deep within my spirit. so i embark on bringing to light the beauty and wonder of the music and songs that accompany my life...

this is the soundtrack of a life delighter.

today's song is "when i'm alone" by brandon heath:

the part in this song that particularly hit a note with me were these lyrics:

"this is my dream and my gift, but sometimes I get scared. that somehow i'll cease to belong anywhere"

in the last day or two i've been contemplating many aspects of my story...my dreams, passion, call, purpose and heart desires and during this time, this song has fallen on my radar and i'm finding myself pressing the pause button on life so i can marinate in its words for a bit.

this chapter of my life is indeed "my dream and my gift". to be called into a job like mine and stand with young people in the pits of life and have the opportunity to speak hope, truth and love into their walks, is a very cherished part of my life, and it is an honour to answer this call, but like in the song "sometimes i get scared", and its on this notion that i currently find myself seeking through - seeking wisdom, understanding, clarity and truth.

i know that with my faith and complete reliance of Christ for my salvation, allows me to belong in the kingdom of the Greatest, but its the smaller pieces of my life that i seek this insight, crave to know. that is why this song has captured my current place and has articulated its position perfectly, so for today, this is my soundtrack.

stay tuned, more to come...
