I've never been a huge fan of Christian music. Call me what you will...but I just don't like it. Too many bands try and give the "secular" sound and they just try far too hard and it annoys me....needless to say it's rare if there is Christian music play in my car. The only exceptions to that rule would be Brandon Heath, Francesca Battistelli, and Hillsong ....
Brandon Heath...his music is has that chill feel and his lyrics are so easily related to my life. He has a way of speaking straight into my heart and reminding me that God knows and God cares. Every aspect of my life, MY God is there and MY God has a plan. I just have to remember to let go and let God take the reigns.
Francesca Battistelli...her music is very similar to Brandon Heath's and does the same thing for me. It's just different seeing as it's from a female perspective. Her songs have reminded me so many times to just let go. Let go of my fears. Let go of my past. Let go and Let God. In God's love, despite my screw ups and failures...I'm free to be me.
Hillsong...by far the best praise and worship on the planet. I love singing along to their CD and just praising God. I've been told that going to one of their concerts is one of the best worship experiences of one's life. Just imagine it....a sold out arena, hundreds of thousands of people all singing together praises to an almighty God. That's just enough to put a chill down your spine...
Now I didn't mean for this to read like a music review because if you know anything about my music taste you'll know its pretty well...lame. I was just saying if you're anything like me and really don't dig on the Christian music scene, these are 3 phenomenal artists you should check out....
God is good. Sometimes I forget just how great. I get so caught up in the happenings of life and everything just comes at me all at once and I just need to stop...reflect...listen. Life is full of distractions and full of noise. Sometimes its good to just get away. I'm going to make it my goal to just sit in the quiet and pray, praise, and listen to what the Almighty Creator has for me. My life is yours God. Show me where to go.
