/I've been thinking a lot lately about why I sing here...and this is what I've come up with....I sing when I have something I want to say...or get across to someone and I can't find words expressive enough with which to merely SPEAK it. I believe that to one degree or another, everyone can FEEL music...it's adds a depth, a facet, into which we can wrap ourselves and hopefully OTHERS, as we sing a particular song to or for them.
Sometimes, I sing because my heart is breaking and I feel like I am going to just crumble to the ground.....and music is the only thing that I CAN manage to do....sometimes without crying, but usually not. LOL! Sometimes, I sing for approval because I'm feeling small, or worthless, or insignificant....I think I need YOUR approval....I go looking for your "stars" or "comments" to build me up...because the world, people around me, even those who LOVE me...beat me down or sometimes just fail to lift me up. God has been dealing with me about that one...so I'm prayfully hoping that GOD will fill that need in me completely...as HE is the only whose approval I should be needing, wanting, and seeking. Sometimes, I sing.....because I just don't know what else to do.... because there is so much going on inside me that I believe I will EXPLODE if I don't GET IT OUT! When I get this overwhelmed.... which is often the case as of late....due to life...I come here to sing. I'm not going to chat....I'm not going to listen....I'm not going to comment. I guess I just don't want anyone to misunderstand and think that I am a snot....quite the contrary, actually. But, when I am because I don't want to explode.... well, I just have to SING IT OUT OF ME! ......whether the "it" be anger, sadness, excitement, silliness, JOY, PRAISE,.....it's not always a negative...but I will try to remember to put up my "THERAPY in session" sign....if I really just need to SING. That way, hopefully, all you guys who are my friends....(and you guys that I look forward to getting to know as friends)....will understand and not be upset. Thanks for taking time to read this...if you have. I will be changing things here from time to time....including adding a "real" guestbook...with those cool little swirly pictures and a map of where you are located. I really want that...but it's not on my agenda for this day or actually anytime soon unless I find some time I'm not expecting to find. SO....having said all that....shew! I need a nap now! LOL! I love GOD with all that I am and have...and still am quite certain it's not even close to as much as HE deserves! I love my sons....though they are on their way out my door....long before I'm actually braced for the whole empty nest thing... and of course I love my family. I have two sons...17 and 15....that have been with me since they were conceived, basically. The baby has just decided to go live with his dad, as he needs a stronger male influence in his life. My oldest will shortly graduate...(He is a Senior)...so, with drivers' license, car, part-time jobs, theater arts, and music...on top of friends...he SEEMS gone already. He sleeps and eats here...anyone who has older teens, understands that statement. LOL! I have a dog that thinks she human...and a cat that thinks she's a dog....and I think SHE is pregnant. OH MY! I love all of my babies...yes, even my fuzzy four-legged ones because they love me, pretty much unconditionally, keep me company when everyone else walks away, and make me feel much less alone when I wake up at night and one is on one side of me and the other... is on the other side of me. (the are about the same size) There are so many crazy changes going on in my life right now.... some really good, some really bad, but all things considered, I KNOW that GOD causes all things to work together for our good when we love Him and are called...according to HIS PURPOSES (romans 8:28, staceyfied)....but though I know that, it's easy to forget to SEE IT when I am facing the stress of the changes! Now, when we get to the other side...let's talk! I've no doubt that I will be full of the good news of HOW GOD worked it all out! But, in the midst, I struggle....It's a constant choice to look to my HEAVENLY FATHER....and by HIS GRACE, I will continually strive to keep my eyes on HIM! Besides...why would I want to look at anything ELSE???? HE is the most beautiful of all I KNOW! :) Keep a song in your heart! ~Stace aka Sparkletacular

A friend sent this song to me....I was so moved by this, I wanted to share it with anyone who took time to stop by and chose to listen. Wow.
