Music

Normally in the car we listen to 106.1 which is pop music, and my girls love to sing, they learn songs really quickly. I realized a couple of weeks ago and was convicted of the fact that there are some VERY inappropriate songs on the radio that they do not need to be listening to. (nor do I) How about this one, "I kissed a girl and I liked it" Um yeah, you definitely don't want your 7 year old daughter singing that song! So I have turned off the radio and put in a Gateway worship CD. It is so peaceful and I love it! The weights of this world bog me down so easily and when I listen to it, I feel lighter, refreshed, renewed, and encouraged! So the other day, we were listening to it on the way to school and I took the girls in and got back in the car and it was back on! I heard Joey in the backseat singing the words with the song, he was singing "Worthy, Worthy, you are Worthy, worthy to be praise" It was the sweetest, most precious sound I have ever heard, to hear that little 4 year old voice singing praise to God. I was immediately reminded that is how our Heavenly Father feels when we sing praise to him. He loves it so much. I want to encourage all of you to put in some worship music in the car and see what a difference it makes in your life!
