No. 11 - Worship Music/Jesus

I never really thought I'd write about my faith or anything alike but here I am. This morning when taking my morning poo as I do whilst scrolling TikTok I came across a video of nature with the song Oceans being sung live in an arena. For those that don't know the song, go listen to it. It's truly incredible. It's Oceans by Hillsong UNITED & TAYA. Something about the passion of the artist singing the song live with the crowd just pouring their heart and soul into each syllable. I carried myself from one song to the next in their discography and I just....just... I don't really even know. In awe? At peace? Content? Happy? Overjoyed? Blissful? I don't know the words for the emotions I felt but I have never been someone who enjoyed worship music but maybe it was just the style of the kind I had listened to because this song. This song is beautiful and created a lasting memory I will never forget from just listening to it in the kitchen. A bit over a year ago I denied Jesus 110%. Two of my closest friends, who are truly just family to me, kept asking and asking and encouraging me to go to church with them. I knew I needed change in my life but I thought it was the dumbest thing in my life. Why do I, me, Mr. do it myself, need God? Well, Mr. do it himself is a silly person because he can't always do it himself. But that isn't even the point. I went with them. Was still up in the air on it and then God showed me more through them and my family and other friends as well and it slowly opened my mind more. Now I'm sitting here at 3:10am on an early, early, early Wednesday morning thinking about Jesus and wanting to share a little piece of Him that I have experienced. From the tidbits of my beginning and my friends being persistent about God, and a few others helping be by my side through my journey and asking questions I have or doing research with me, attending church with me, praying alongside me, and reading the Bible with me. These people are more than I could ever ask for and I didn't meet them by coincidence. You guys will probably never know who these few people are but I'm sure the ones I'm talking about will know it's about them. For those few that may see this, I love you dearly and thank you for being who you are to me and encouraging me, helping me, and answering my questions on my faith journey and my journey through life. Bless your souls <3
