Uh...
I have tried ALL different types of music...and I have went through phase through phase. [we all do!
] Anyway...it started with rock and rap [secular that is...:] ] Anyway...my parents hated that! [They have always listened to old country folk...Christian stuff...] I eventually started listening to Country...modern day...secular. My parents hated that! Then I got back into secular punk stuff...gothic...weird. Anyway, as you can guess...they HATED that! I got off of that stage and got into contemporary Christian...Mercyme...Stephen Curtis Chapman...etc. Well...they thought that was OK. [OK...keyword...] Anyway...I liked that for quite a while!
Anyway...about a year ago I went to a youth event and they played some Christian rock [ya know...kewl stuff. Switchfoot, Kutless, Thousand Foot Krutch, Pillar, 12 Stones, the list can go on and on!] Well...I came back home and was like, WOW! That is the stuff I like! It was my music...where I found my heart in music...one of those phases that is not really a phase...It is there forever! My pastor is like 24 [young...but kewl!] and he likes it! He listens to that 24/7! Well...my parents say it is 'not good' and they do NOT approve of it by any means! It has just recently become an issue...the first couple of CD's I bought...and a DVD...they do NOT like by any means! It was mosly Kutless's first album. They scream 4 times. Big whoop!
It makes me a little frustrated because that music brings me closer in my walk with GOD...they can't understand the words...but I can! I am sure that some of the stuff they listen to...the country Christian stuff...would make their great grandparents roll over in their graves on. I mean, it is too modern day for them...but they could care less and they listen to it still. But......I don't know what to do. I love Christian Rock. It is amazing! I am sort of having a calling to form a Christian rock band! It is weird...frustrating...and ANNOYING! It could be a lot worse! I could listen to Jimmy Hendrix or something like that! Ugggghhhhhhhhhh! Have you ever had that feeling? WHAT SHOULD I DO?
I have been dealing with this long enough...!
Thank you!
