Music speaks so much louder than anything else I've encountered thus far in my life. One well-placed line can pull such a response from me that it surprises me over and over again.
I'm sitting here at my computer listening to "There Are No Orphans of God" by Avalon, and I started crying. It took me all of one verse to become completely broken. I think anything can change your life if you let it, but for me? Music affects me whether I'm wanting it to or not.
How great, how powerful is the God that watches me everyday. How merciful, to forgive me over and over again. How understanding, to see me falling and love me anyway. I can't even imagine.
I need camp so bad. I don't comprehend how someone can be surrounded by so many people being broken by God, and not believe in the God that's causing it.
But at camp, everyone is on the same boat. No one cares what you did during the year, nobody is judging you for not being perfect..everyone is just looking to start over. When people sing there, it's like they're singing out of their very heart. No walls, no barriers. No holding back. When people there sing, it's like we're all sitting right at God's feet, giving Him a concert.
I swear, it's what Heaven is going to be like. This is a Church of Christ camp, so there aren't any intstruments used in worship, but I've never heard such beautiful music. I've been to see choirs from all over the country, and nothing compares. Because the music at camp is so completelty raw and honest...it makes sense to me.
Now none of that may have made any sense to any of you, but there it is.
Keep your hearts open.
Love,
Anna
