Isn't it amazing how music can alter your mood within seconds? Music's power amazes me and I am grateful for this ability. How else can one cheer up after a bad day at school or a family feud? My life would be vastly different without it. Luckily, since my life is not void of music, I am able to let my emotions flow when I listen to or play music. Recently I was randomly browsing through Facebook (procrastinating on the dreadful homework) when I came across this link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfH2BY5pdLw
It is not in my nature to listen to "secular" music (non-Christian music) considering I see far to many advantages in listening to uplifting and encouraging music (not to say secular music is "bad"). Although, I do enjoy listening to classical music or pure instrumental music without lyrics or words. This song, "Love Story Taylor Swift meets Viva La Vida Coldplay," captured my classical admiration and I fell in love. Thanks to my brother (another music lover who listens to every type of music), I had already heard Viva La Vida and found it a unique, heart-warming song. Love Story was less familiar to me, but being a teenager, I had heard it somewhere along the way. When I discover a song I like (or love), I cannot help but listen to it over and over and over again until I am fully "content" with the belief that I have the song stuck in my head for at least a day. This is simply something I must do to alleviate my desire to "enjoy" the song.
Upon hearing this song, I felt the need to listen to Taylor Swift's song "Love Story" on Youtube and watch the "official" music video. Given I actually liked the song, I went through the same process by watching it at least seven times. Every time I watched it, the combination of the musical masterpiece, the fairytale scene, and the romantic story (lyrics) made my heart jump. Oh how I dreamed to have my own love story and be that same "princess" in the castle. The wait was long and hard but her prince charming came to her eventually and it was such a happy ending! It may seem silly to you, but sometimes I drift off into my own far away fantasy. Perhaps it is because I still think like a child and cannot let go of my "princess" dream. Every girl (at least every normal girl) dreamed of being a princess at some point in her life. For me it started early (practically since birth) and has never quite fully dissipated.
There's nothing wrong with dreaming... as long as it doesn't deter you from reality for longer than a day. Either way, I know that I am a princess-God's princess. For He is the "only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords" (1 Timothy 6:15). In His kingdom, I am a princess and that is all I need.
~Thank you Father for letting me be a princess. I won't let your kingdom down!
