Music is my medicine

Oooh I did a wee interview about being in the community choir. Exciting! It was a little weird being followed by a man with an iPhone but I'm sure it will look great. Talking about why I love music and what singing does for me really bought it home to me that it's very much a part if my life and maybe even my ministry.
It brings it to my attention that I come from a musical family and it is a natural talent I've been trying to deny, in fact both sides of my family are musical. DJs and promoters, dancers and just general music appreciators. On my maternal side I have multiple instrument players, singers, song writers, choir members and probably more than I even know. My children can rap and sing mainly freestyle, they had to have got it from somewhere right!? Not trying to gas but it's got to be me lol.
The kind of music we listen to can determine the way we are with each other, out thoughts and actions. I don't doubt that there are subliminal messages in secular/ popular music, there are even hidden Christian lyrics in some I those same songs.
At my darkest hour music brought me through, I couldn't imagine where I be now if I hadn't listened to music or unconsciously sung words to lift my spirit. At one stage I wanted to join the worship team at church, that didn't work out i'm probably not ready especially given my slip in lifestyle, it not likely wouldn't be a good look.
Ministry starts at home anyway, my children no longer shout shut up when I sing out loud, well only sometimes lol. 
When my cousin comes to see me, if something's wrong I start singing uncontrollably. He says there's nothing up I turn look at him and say "I'm singing again and I don't even want to something's up"
It's clear that it's something I should pay more attention to, whether I will is another story, I know what I'm supposed to do but very rarely do it... Then I spend my time whinging and crying that things aren't going my way lol.
I'll pray on it and ask God to guide me, things are happening now that are surprising to me, I didn't know I would be capable of doing things that I conjoured  up in my imagination.
I'll keep you posted 
Here's the link to my interview don't laugh lol
