After a week of silence...facing the noise of everyday life can be a bit overwhelming. Anybody else notice the same thing? Depending on what you chose to let go of for a week your story might be different, but I know that I have been hesitant to jump back into the things I let go. Maybe that’s a good thing, maybe it’s a little weird…I’m not exactly sure yet. But I know I don’t want to be distracted from His presence, because I’ve enjoyed it more than anything. And oddly enough I think after Sunday night most of us kind of enjoyed the challenge.This song was sent to me a few weeks ago from a friend and with the transition of giving up music and radio for a week this song has been a blessing to listen to. I’ve heard some comments and have experienced it myself that after giving up the radio and/or music and trying to turn it back on after a week was a bit strange. Meaning that after the week of silence, I just as quickly turned off the radio as soon as I turned it on. But this song “I Will Exalt You” by Hillsong from their newest album “Faith+Hope+Love”, has helped me to continue to worship without the distractions of the noise of this world around me. Check it out, maybe you’ll hear it one day at Rooted...and if you dare, try giving up all music and the radio for a week…you might hear and notice some things you never have before.
