What brings you peace...

The other day I was listening to random music on itunes and then I decided to turn it to something that settles my heart and soul, worship music. The more songs I listened to, the more settled and at peace I felt. It amazes me the power that music holds over us. The gentle and peaceful flow of the song mixed with the life changing lyrics somehow manage to go much further than just the ear. So, it got me thinking...what brings you peace?

For me, it's obviously worship but also sitting in silence. Oddly enough, one of my absolute favorite things in the world is driving in the car in complete silence! I am definitely not a person who has to have the radio blaring every time I get in the car. I fully enjoy the peaceful ride (especially if in the morning when on my way to work.) Sometimes I pray and sometimes I just let my mind wander freely while I travel to my destination. I've really come to enjoy the quiet over the last 8 or so years (I figure enjoy it before the kids because I'm sure it'll be rare after they arrive.) :)

Here's a video of one of the songs I play when life is at its most stressful. There's nothing better I can do for myself in those times than to remind myself to be still and know....

Here's to finding what brings you peace in the midst of chaos...
