The Ripple of a Lifesong!

Hello! I am new to blogging, but it is something I have been interested in for some time now and so I break the bonds of computer inadequacy, and lose my blogging virginity in this first post. I am titling my blog site The Ripple of a Lifesong! The term lifesong I have taken from the CCM group Casting Crowns as it has really become an over arching theme in my life. And the Concept that every individual is playing their own lifesong is awesome. What is really cool though is the ripple effects of these lifesongs. Everyone has and is playing out a lifesong at this moment whether eating, sleeping, driving, texting, picking their noses, or blogging. And as the Lifesong is being played out and aloud in our lives it becomes apparent what the muse or inspiration for the lifesong that we are most living for, resembling, and having the greatest effect on our lives. In some cases it could be music, academics, sports, money, cooking, eating, video games, friends, church, etc. In some cases it goes deeper, there are those whose lifesongs are motivated by something they cannot see or touch or feel, at least not with their normal senses. Theses individuals are being led by and are allowing a greater force to shape their lifesong and play a different tune through their lives. This greater force is God and more specifically Jesus Christ. Now everyones lifesong that is being played out is like a stone skipping across a clear pond. Everytime the stone skips ripple are created that spread out and eventually will interact with the other ripples all as a result of the stones impact. Every persons life will have an effect on another person - the decisions we make today will be echoed through our lifesong and will have an impact on the world around us - sometimes farther reaching than we can see or comprehend. When that ripple your lifesong has created reaches out and interacts with others what are they going to hear. Are they going to hear and see a life devoid of hope living for no possible reason other than to just exist, or when the echoes of the lifesong come are they going to hear the notes of a loud trumpet declaring the way of freedom and hope behind which they can rally. Only Christ can direct our lifesongs in such a way as to give people hope. And this is my reason for writing in this blog. I simply want my lifesong to be used to impact others for Christ and the best way I know how to do that is to write and say what great things the Lord has done for me and hope that in some small way the ripples of my lifesong ring true and declare to you the reader there is hope!
