There is a lot I could say about music. I believe some of it's good, I believe some of its not so good. However, In the right context, I believe music can help people overcome incredible struggles through music. it doesn't have to be just one type of music either, it can be a variety of types. Some people enjoy country, others enjoy rap, some enjoy heavy metal. Honestly, I think any of them can truly help some people get through some hard situations in their lives. music is a powerful tool, and if it's used the right way, it can truly help people. How do I know this?

Because I was one of the people it helped.

There was a point in my life where nothing seemed to have any purpose. Nothing was going right, and I felt so alone, even though I knew I wasn't. I knew God was there for me, but I continued to let the loneliness overcome me. I continued to let this feeling that I was lost and nothing would pull me back. Nothing would ever make it OK.

I was secluded and shadowed in darkness.

I couldn't see an end in sight. I felt lost and hopeless. However, God wouldn't let me fade away that easy. He used something to pull me back. Something I enjoyed, something that always made me feel better when I heard it. Something that could really just make feel welcomed, and surrounded with love, if only for a second. It made me feel hopeful. It made me want to continue on. It made me feel good.

It was music and it saved me.

Now I know it was truly a gift from God to have this music give me reason again. It made me feel like i wasn't alone. It overwhelmed me in an amazing way. It had been forever since i felt anything. But now? Now I felt like i meant something again. Now, I didn't feel alone. Now, I felt OK again. I felt like I was gonna be ok!

And I was OK again.

It was all thanks to the music God gave me.
