"Blue Winds Dancing" by Tom Whitecloud

Music is my life.  I’m sure you’ve heard many music enthusiasts claim the same motto.  For me though it is what keeps me alive.  I play piano and sing for the Praise Band at my church.  Each week I am recharged and revived through the musical and prayerful workings of the Holy Spirit through Christ.  Each key I press, each note I sing is a direct connection to the God I live my life for.  As the frequencies of each separate instrument pulsates through my being I am washed clean by the Breath of my Lord.  After playing a song, there are some moments when I am short winded and awestruck.  My small contribution to further God’s kingdom is something I hold near and dear to my heart.  When I miss a week for whatever odd reason, I feel tired and worn down.  I wake up restless and tattered.  I look forward to our rehearsals as much as the services themselves.  As we as a Praise Band gather to practice, we pray our songs as if a full congregation is sitting in the empty church.  For that moment we are one body musically connecting ourselves to our Savoir.  When a new comer watches my fellow musicians and I quiver with excitement on our instruments they cannot help but be carried in this most holy act.  I am quite blessed to be able to worship in such a strong way.  These moments in my life are what are truly important me.
