My dearest Heavenly Father,

Sometimes I find myself in a gap between words. Nothing to say. Like living between two spaces. And then I put on my music and something happens. A path forms in my mind. A bridge is built. A road is paved.

Music inspires my soul. There I find my way to you when I am lost, wandering. When I am empty music fills me. When my soul is thirsty, music brings living water. When I am sad, music brings release. When I am joyous, music gives me reason to dance. When I don't know where I am, music gives me a beginning, sometimes an ending.

Music is the song of the soul, one you have carefully placed in humans. We don't all sing it the same way, but we can sing. When music is allowed inside me, my whole being comes alive. I breathe in, breathe out. A rhythm develops. My pulse changes. I rest easy. I know I am connected to the deep place where heaven resides. The pictures in my mind are transformed, white is more pure, colors are bright and vibrant. I feel the joyous reunion with you, no longer apart, distant.

So much to do. So many people needing care just now. I want to carry your song all day. Perhaps I will sing to Evadene today. Let the song spill over and out onto folks that are in their last days. A song of eternity. Eternity's song, that's what I'll sing today.

Oh Lord,
teach me
to sing
eternity's song
every day.
Let me not
follow emotions
of uncertainty, fear
but rather
let me follow
the song of the Master.
Let me sing daily
the song of faith,
of trust, hope and courage.
Let me sing
your song.

Loving you, Andrea
