... how can I keep from singing....

feels like a ton of bricks hit me and I have been sleeping most of the day today... was supposed to be at a retreat and have another big thing happening tomorrow...
the fainting and double vision of the last few weeks combined with the onslaught of this cold... or flu, or whatever it is... oh well..

for the hours between exhausted sleep my laptop is my beloved companion... music really is all I need right now...

even as a young girl, singing in a choir myself, I have always loved Boys Choirs... maybe 7 years ago or so, I found the choir called Libera, from London, England on YouTube... I have since purchased 5 of their albums and follow them on Facebook...

a post by them today has me listening to some of the songs that have touched my heart in a profound way... I especially like Liam O'Kane, who was a Soloist in the 90's...

I remember years ago discussing what eternity in heaven will look like..... if  (and I am pretty sure about that) there will be a lot of singing, lifting up praises, it will be perfectly fine with me..
there is something to be said about harmonies blending together like this... a longing in my heart, that cannot be satisfied here is awoken when I listen to music like this...  a glimpse of that we really have no way of knowing what it will be like... it never fails to move me to tears... to emotions I cannot even begin to understand...

For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.  Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling,  because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked.  For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.  Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.

 Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord.  For we live by faith, not by sight.  We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.  So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it.  For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.

2 Corinthians 5:1-10
