Very Difficult

What would your life be like without music?

For a few reasons.

First. I am a visual and somewhat audible learner. Meaning. If I hear something two to three times I can remember the words. Like songs. I can listen to a song a few times and then I know the song by heart. Even the songs I want to forget, but those are still in there.

But it has to be to music. My husband can tell me something everyday and I can’t remember. But only with music can I memorize.

My daughter is the same way.

Second. Even without the learning aspect, I’ve always loved music. At one point I wanted to learn singing. I love singing, but a lack of confidence has always stopped me. But singing to songs has always been something I love.

Third. Music calms my children. Strangely enough. It can be complete chaos; and I turn on some tunes and they settle. My daughter still dances in her seat, but all three kiddos are happy at once.

I also enjoy watching them dance to songs. Or make up the lyrics to songs. Some songs have been changed for life.

Like we played “Another On Bites The Dust” and my daughter said “biting dust is gross, and they are going to be sick if they do that. They should maybe clean their house to stop eating dust.” Haha!

But for me the music keeps the chaos in check. And if there is always noise my youngest can sleep through anything. When it is too quiet is when she will wake up unhappy.

Fourth. Also I like finding new songs. My husband just found some new music. It was recommended by his friend. I really like it. Especially since it’s Bible verses. Since it’s to music I will be able to memorize them.

Heal Me Oh Lord (Psalm 6) by Highway to Zion

Starts off slow but then it builds. This is the kind of music my kiddos are liking at the moment. Also my youngest will instantly fall asleep.
