Music

Last night I had the opportunity to go to a Mormon Tabernacle Choir concert with my mom, grandma, sisters, aunts, and cousin. At one point during the concert, at the beginning of the song, I was kind of like; wow! Music can change lives. I mean honestly I break out in song all the time, if I didn't do that who would I be? I don't really want to know. I love music so much whether it's singing, playing the piano, or just listening to music. Music has blessed my life in many ways.

Every night after I pray and study my scriptures I will turn on my CD player and listen to church songs. This helps me get to sleep, especially on those nights when I just can't. On those night I will lay there in bed and really listen to the words and sing along silently sometimes. I feel such peace as I close my day with a word of prayer, a scripture, and a song in my head.

It's amazing how much life and hope one single line of a song could do to your day. I know in Seminary, I always look forward to the song, and I try to connect it to the devotional in anyway. After Seminary I feel rejuvenated and full of the Spirit. I feel like I can conquer anything.

I am so grateful for the influence of music I have had throughout my life and continue to have in my life. I am grateful for the Atonement of Jesus Christ, for His life and example. I'm thankful for my home and family for the strength I receive from each one of them every day. I love this gospel and all of you. Hope you have a great week!

Love,
Kenzie
