At this point in the trip planning, I am faced with the question of faith. Faith and fear are polar opposites, like the love if Christ and the destruction of the devil. It is such a struggle not to let fear creep in, for example I will get lost, I will be hit by a car or I will be ineffective. Those are all real aspects of the trip and I must keep in mind that the Lord is sovern and we never promisest to see the next sunrise. This is were faith calms my weary mind by, breathing new life into my hart. Epheations talks about being born with faith, but I think comuton with the farther, fellowship, and positive stimulus can spark our faith. During this phase of preparation and training it has been al times lonely but station 514 has been a great help. Wile I do not like all the music played the talks and music help me keep my eyes on the bigger picture, the kingdom.
Station 514 is a fledgeling station and are feeling the fear of can they make it work and how dose it fit in this tangible world. The station and I are trying to overcome the same hurdles. I love to listen to Station 514 wile I work on the cycle trip. I feel connected to something bigger than myself, the body of Christ. I believe music is ordained of God, He created us and understands that we can relate to him threw music. There are many spiritual things that can not be expressed in words but threw music the message is apparent because it speaks to ones soul. Our yearning hart is set free threw the arts and music. The arts and music displays Gods character and music is a tangible experience, that carries me threw the week. We do not crumble on Sunday, rather it is a Wednesday afternoon after a project fails or, job seems endless or fruitless. This kind of spiritual filling is often overlooked. You at Station 514 are the starving artist, may you be fed by the grace of God.
