Sometimes I think back through my week and what has been happening in my life and I think, I can\u2019t write about that for the Secretary\u2019s Corner…but nothing else is new in life. This week is much like that. My week has been taken up mostly with post-wisdom-tooth-extraction recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This feels like a silly thing to talk about. Pretty much all there is to say is my head has been hurting for like three days. I feel a little silly bringing that up. But when I started this segment (over a year ago now…which is crazy) I wanted it to be a look into my thoughts of the week. And on a week like this, my thoughts aren\u2019t so polished as they are other weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So here we are. I actually feel a lot better today, but the last few days have been miserable, as you might imagine. I had one particularly bad night where I initially fell asleep for an hour or so, then woke up and couldn\u2019t fall back asleep because I was in pain for a long time. I decided to turn on some worship music, because laying awake in the dark with an obnoxious owl \u201cwho-ing\u201d every ten seconds is not relaxing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I found my speaker, got it situated beside my bed, and turned on my worship playlist – quietly, so I wouldn\u2019t disturb the rest of my household. And lo and behold, I suddenly felt a lot calmer. I didn\u2019t sleep for a little while after that, but there was so much more peace. I periodically woke up through the rest of the night, and it was comforting to have worship just sort of floating in the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All this to say, there is something remarkable about music. I think it has a lot more power than we realize.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
