"I'm standing here because music was, is and will always be
my first love."
Did LLCoolJ really say music is his #1, above family, above God
and fellow human beings? Perhaps he didn't mean it to that extent when he
opened the Grammys with those words.
True, music is a humungous part of some people's lives and
legacy. For many, it probably is their first love, just like anything else. Ask
me what or who captures my attention and most of my time and I'll show you what
I worship.
What is tugging at your heart for worship? We are all made to
worship something so whatever we spend the most time doing will be a pretty
strong magnet pulling us in.
What sums up your purpose and meaning in life? God, our true
first love, should be our final love. Music is His gift to us, a treasure,
designed to draw our magnetic hearts into a relationship with our Creator. He
gives amazing gifts because He loves us, purely and eternally.
The highlight of my Grammy viewing was a fantastic performance
by fellow Coloradans The Lumineers (check it out! Shout out Denver) and the
glamorous Adele whose dress was my favorite of the night (red & pink floral print dress by Valentino) and whose accent
reminds me of England (miss it!). She is always so genuinely surprised to win,
even with a mantel at home full of gold gramophones.
It was so cool that one of my new favorite songs, 10,000 Reasons
by Matt Redman, took home a Grammy. I
hope this allows so many more people to hear it, and be changed.
Oh, and was it just me, or did it rain on stage during
Fun.? Electric shocks are not fun!
