I Believe in the Sun

I believe in the sun, even when it is not shining,
I believe in love, even when I am lonely
I believe in love, even when feeling it not
I believe in God, even when He is silent

I believe through any trial there is always a way.

Courtney is part of Southeastern University's Concert Choir and performed this evening along with about a hundred of her music major peers. At one point they sang Johnathan Adams', I Believe in the Sun. The whole concert was fantastic, but this piece was especially wonderful.

My music tastes are eclectic, and tend more towards the modern, but these one-hundred young Christians used their God-given gifts to praise our Creator and with those same voices created images and evoked an emotional response I had not anticipated. As the song developed, I simply found myself transported.

I Believe in the Sun is playing right now as you read this blog.....I hope you enjoy it.
