I have not been handling stress well this week. Stress. Life. Being an adult. None of it. Lots of anger on top of the stress. For no good reason, just lack of good coping mechanisms. So I've been listening to this Christmas hymn. I love Oh Holy Night, but this arrangement is just so good for my soul. I first heard it with my mom a couple of months ago and we both burst into tears. This is the Christ. Oh hear the angel voices. Such a fervent testimony, such a solemn reminder of Who we dedicate this season to. A humbling reminder of My Savior, whose sacrifice for us all makes my troubling week look trifling. So I listen to this song, over and over again, and let peace reenter my soul so that I can find balance once more.
Music is my de-stressor too. But it works best if I sing along. If only I could do that at the gym without people looking at me funny :P
ReplyDeleteI just sing. People can deal with me being ridiculous. (:
