A new week, I will wait...
I stumbled across the fact that today is the release date for the new offering from Mumford and Sons 'Babel' is their new album.
I really like this type of music, and sometimes find it a little strange that it has become a bit more 'mainstream' than it used to be. I spent my teenage years listening to music like this, and was branded a hippy, or bit left field. It's also strange, as so much of the music I've spent my life singing to in church is similar to this in style. So it's weird seeing people unashamedly dancing at festivals alongside Jay Z to music which was once reserved for weird folky or churchy type places.
But it stirs something in our souls doesn't it ? It's not just me, or you, but loads of people are moved and liberated by this music. One can 't really dance in a particularly dignified way to music like this, I think that's what I enjoy so much about it, It has a childlike quality which we all identify with just a little ?
I don't often engage in the 'waiting' side of my life. There are things I am waiting for, waiting for God to do, as I believe He said He would. Sometimes the waiting is too painful to connect with for all of us, but occasionally I dip my toe in the moat of emotions which surround the castle I live in, and for a few minutes, I get reassurance that the wait will be worth the it.

Oh, I love this music and waiting stinks. It's just too hard. Thanks for sharing this video.
ReplyDeleteAnd what a lot of waiting you are doing at the moment. Hope things in hospital land aren't too unbearable for you both? I pray your boy is coping with all the intrusions, operations and waitings.
