"I think worship is the strongest tool we have in fighting those negative messages. You are what you're filled with. The great thing about music is it is always available. If you feel overwhelmed by this life, you can crank up the tunes and let the Lord minister to you and get refocused."
Rick Heil of Sonicflood puts into words the way I have always felt. I have always used music to speak to my heart and refocus myself. Music always got into the cracks of my soul where nothing else could reach. Yet, now, I'm wondering if this has been the wrong approach. Or if I just need a new focus, a new way to think and learn and regroup.
Or if God is just tired of competing with the music.....

You have to try worshiping Him in different ways, using different forms and different parts of your being, you know?
The goal is to slowly make everything you do a form of worship, a way of showing God love, as well as respect and admiration/adoration.
I say, go for it!~ have fun figuring out different ways you can worship and glorify Him~ all the different ways that you feel compelled to worship Him!
Funny you should mention that Christine....I'm currently reading Sacred Pathways by Gary Thomas which talks about the various worship styles people have. It's not one size fits all, and what fits me, won't be right for someone else. There are many forms and ways to worship. Nature, sensory, traditional, ascetic - all types. The important thing is to find how you best worship; experiment and you may be surprised at what you find. I know I'm surprised at what I am finding. :)
I want to be the way I was made...
