Do you know what Selah means?



I have so much to do right now, but can't seem to stay focused. I cannot get last night out of my mind. I saw Selah and Nicol Sponberg perform. I felt as if they were singing just to me. There could have been a million distractions in that room, but none would spoil my time with God through these precious people's music. I know for sure that music fills my soul in a different way than a lot other people. I had such a hard time sitting down and being calm like the rest of the people there. I would have been the distraction if I stood up with my arms high like I wanted! You'll be happy to know I stayed sitting while my heart was about to explode.

In my Stepping Up Bible study this week, Beth Moore talked about the Psalms and the songs. She encouraged us to listen to the words of the songs we sing. Really listen. Last night I listened alright. Wow! When they played the song I posted, I heard it like never before. I am so Blessed! I'll never forget the lessons I learned through my divorce many years ago. They led me to Him! I invite you to listen, pause and reflect with me...



If Selah comes anywhere near your hometown you would be Blessed to see them. Go here for their schedule.
Have a good weekend!
Love,
Angie xoxo

I feel the same way about music. And that group is awesome. Do you ever read Angie Smiths blog, her husband Todd is in the group.

And I am also with you on the lessons thing (but you already know that)

I linked to you today in a post about how jealous I was that you got to go-not really--I am thrilled sitting here thinking about you worshipping that way! Keep singing, Angie! He loves your heart. I do, too. Annette

Just an aside: the word verification below has me typing SUBMIS --think it's a Word for me today?

I love that song!!! Music also touches me in a way very deeply! I love it and am so thankful for that. I like that about myself but I am the same way at times...my heart is bursting out of my chest. I would have a hard time containing myself at a Selah's concert also! I love their music, and how real they are.

Love,
Nicole

My friend gave me this CD - I love this song!

I'm currently facilitating Beth Moore's "Stepping Up" and we just viewed that same teaching on worship. I found it SO powerful. Music reaches places that mere words never touch.

So glad you had such a wonderful evening! Have a great weekend,
Joy
