do you need a good RELEASE?!

by Karmen |

The solo act in the car today was AWESOME!

The harmony, the lead, the low, all the parts…

Wait? What?!! That can’t be right??

I was the driver.

And yet it felt SO GOOD to crank up the volume and praise and lift my hands….make up my own words, drum on the stirring wheel and SING-LIKE-A-STAR TO THE TOP OF MY LUNGS….

the LOUDER I sang the free-er I felt!

No audience

No pressure

No rejection

Just the Lord, the music and me in the car with the sun on my face and the blacktop before me. Such a refreshing, long overdue RELEASE… If you’re feeling bogged down, overwhelmed or clinch-your-teeth-stressed tuck the kids in, kiss the hubs, jump in the car, CRANK IT UP and go for a quick, good for the soul~

RELEASE…

********

Thanks for stoppin’ by for a quick, five minute, stress-free, edit-free snippet. Find more on today’s #FMF word,

RELEASE over at Lisa-Jo’s

night y’all

🙂 K

    Yes! Singing at the top of my lungs is a GREAT release! Dancin to great music is also a GREAT release, but it does look kinda funny when you’re drivin down the road, lol

    I do the exact same thing. Anything by Big Daddy Weave or Toby Mac turns me immediately into a superstar!

    Yeah…i do it and it is wonderful. Sometimes I wonder what the car next to me at the red light is thinking when they see me belt it out. But who cares…it’s wonderful. 🙂
