Love is loud.

Aloha!

Ah, there's so much I could say about volume! There's so much that's just reminding me of God and I constantly find Him in all sorts of weird places! But, alas, all things must close and I should move on to another subject (let's see what comes!) so I will leave you with a little something...

Our lives should never be flat. Never be monotonous, or routine. There's always something to shake it up! Some occurrence to shake the good times and a light appear during the bad. Life is so much like music; it's not interesting if it stays level all the time! There has to be crescendo, varying tempos and harmonies. Sometimes you will hear the sound of a hundred voices backing you up and singing along with you. Other times you will be completing a verse solo. Sometimes, you have to be utterly silent and listen to the tune... or another person's part.

I implore you, to realise these times and not only acknowledge them, but allow them to make the song as wonderful and as turbulent as it should be.
And I shall leave you with some lyrics from the fantastic David Crowder*Band; that I was listening to the other day and remembered the song title!

OUR LOVE IS LOUD
When we sing
Hear our songs, to You
When we dance
Feel us move, to You
When we laugh
Fill our smiles, with You

When we lift our voices
Louder still
Can You hear us?
Can You feel?

We love You, Lord
We love You
We love You
We love You, Lord
We love You

When we sing [LOUD!]
Hear our songs, to You
When we dance [ROUND!]
Feel us move, to You
When we laugh [ALOUD!]
Fill our smiles, with You

And our love is big
Our love is loud
Fill this place with this love now
And our love is big
Our love is loud
Fill our lungs
To sing it now..

We lift our voices louder still
Our God is near
Our God is here
