I thought I would post a part of something I sent to a good friend of mine:
"Now, the silence of God...
My second passion is music (follow with me for a minute)
Have you ever gone without music for a point of time?
I have.
Sucks.
See, the silence of God is like that. The music is still there. All music didn't just leave the world.
God is still there. God didn't just leave.
Sometimes, it was just there wasn't anything playing around me... sometimes something wasn't plugged in... or I needed headphones... or I had broken my iPod.
Sometimes God just isn't speaking... or we aren't being still and waiting... sometimes sin is in the way... or I was rejecting God's word.
In the time of no music, do you find music in your heart and mind? Songs you'd heard before? Do you sing to yourself?
But... after... when I hear the music again...
What is that first song like? Is it clear? Beautiful?
Filling?
Sometimes God must be silent so we will be really listening closely , longing for the melody. Or he's already spoken to us, either through the word or his voice. We know the word (like the songs) and it plays through our minds... it's the songs we've heard on the radio a million times but maybe didn't learn. Go look up the "lyrics" so you can sing, even without music.
Does that make sense?
Life is a wonderous concert, and life with God is like having the perfect playlist.
His love is the most beautiful, delicate, yet powerful piano solo... hauntingly standing out against all else.
His mercy... a song of power, yet grace, filled with chords to make you cry.
His compassion... a tender lullaby. A dad playing guitar for his little girl before bed.
His anger... KISS and Metallica got nothing on this... no scream-o compares.
His joy... an exciting, gotta smile song that just makes you want to dance, even in a thunder storm.
No CD (worldly thing) can EVER compare to such a live concert.
Enjoy it! Embrace it! Sing along at the top of your lungs! Allow it to make you cry and laugh!
Be in Awe!

omg. This is amazing. :)
beautiful.
and as for me wanting scream, yes, it's because i am not there with you.
