It is amazing how powerful literature has shown itself to be to
me this semester. It reminds me of when I was buying a car.
When you are in the “car buying mood” you notice cars more
than on a regular occasion. It is this same way with Literature.
I was touched this morning in chapel when they sang a song I
have never heard before. Yes, there is literature even in music and song,
and/ or music can spark your memory about a piece of literature.
I was meditating this morning when I was touched by the words in this song called
You Are Faithful by Jesus Culture. I posted the song on the blog so you could
experience this song for yourself. The song said this:
My hearts aches for you my God

My soul waits for you my God
I’ve come far to find you here
In this place will I draw near
And your spirit soars with me
To the highest heights
From where I’ll not look back
I’ll keep trusting you
For I know You are faithful My God
I was instantly reminded of the play that we have been reading in class
called Waiting For Godot and the silly inconsistencies that
the story consists of. When I read the play I was thinking how easy it is
for our lives to become filled with repetition and apathy.
We over-schedule, over work, under-sleep, and develop less
than healthy habits. Although when you get into a suitable schedule
how could not become a part of it? We work our entire lives in schools to
get to a place to work for the rest of our lives. This blog may seem like
negative but there is hope. He is hope. Writing this blog I can feel my spirit
getting excited; even my eyes are wanting to water at how great he is.
The song just reassured that no matter how I feel or what I do that my
God will always be faithful to me, especially in a completely
unstable and unfaithful world. He does not use useless repetitions
or toil about with inconsistencies or even fill your heart with false hope.
He is faithful. He is true. He is everything I could need.
I will leave you with this:
(This is also a sing they played this morning)
“Jesus you are all I need, you are more than enough for me”.

I agree, Kaylee. Studying literature makes you notice it more often. For me it is like when I study biology; now that I have a better understanding of how, say, cancer spreads and why it is so deadly, I notice the mention of cancer a lot more now.
The music you posted is great! It's nice to see how literature can help us see the beauty in other things.
