Description:This is for the New Year's Eve Cyber Crop 4PM Challenge. It's also for a circle journal about the place music has in my life and what Praise & Worship music is my favorite (if any). The journaling reads:
Music has always been a big part of my life. I began taking piano lessons when I was four years old. My piano teacher moved a year later so I had a two year hiatus until I began taking lessons again when I was seven. Except for one year, I took piano lessons until I was seventeen. When I was in the 8th grade, I began taking voice lessons as well. I continued with them thru high school and my two years at college. I had the soprano leads in two high school musicals, sang for several area social clubs, in audition choirs at school, in the church choir and for special music at church. Since Tim & I have been married, I’ve continued my singing in the church music program. Three years ago I was diagnosed with asthma and could no longer sing in the choir. For almost a year, I could hardly sing at all. I still don’t sing in the choir but am able to sing solos, duets with Tim and in our trio with another lady in the church.
I prefer more traditional music and am not overly fond of music with a contemporary sound. However, there are several songs that I really like the words and would enjoy them a lot more without all the drums and such in the background! These songs are “In Christ Alone,” I Can Only Imagine,” and “I’ll Praise You in the Storm.”
I enjoy songs that call my attention to worshiping Christ. My current favorite is one we sing each Sunday morning at the beginning of the church service. The words are:
Jesus, be Jesus in me
No longer me, but Thee
Resurrection power
Fill me this hour
Jesus, be Jesus in me.
Praise - the offering of grateful homage in words or song, as an act of worship
Worship - reverent honor and homage paid to God
Products Used:PP - Paper Studio

I really like this one. It looks very authentic. I too have a love for Christ-centered. My favorite music is Greater Vision and songs written by Rodney Griffin.
