SkOoL'd by my 3 year old

This morning we were driving to my in-laws house, they watched Wyatt while Laci went to a Dr. appt. On the way there I was listening to Yes FM and there was a Christian rap song on. When it was over, I turned the station. Wyatt asked me if this song was about Jesus too. I replied, no. He asked if she was singing about God. I replied, no. Then he asked "Then why are you listening to it?"

I often tell myself that i'm not surrounding myself with enough positive influence. I know one of the things I need to change is the music I listen to. Which by the way, the song that was on, was not a bad song, just wasn't praising God. But he has a point, why am I choosing to listen to it, when I was listening to Yes FM a few minutes before. Why did I change it?

I didn't have an answer. But now I feel convicted about the music I'm listening to. Why would I throw away an opportunity to listen to music that praises the Prince of Peace? Lord of Lords? My Savior? Why would I pass that up just to listen to a song that didn't hold any value to me.

Thanks for opening my eyes, Wyatt. I love you!

Just so you know, it really wasn't a BAD song, its just the point of why did I pass up one for the other? I'm still pondering on that one.

The song I was listening to was Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson

Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I'd just stare out my window
Dreaming of what could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray (I would pray)

Trying hard to reach out
But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I prayed I could break away

[Chorus:]
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway

Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will)
And breakaway

[Chorus]

Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging around revolving doors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but
Gotta keep moving on, moving on
Fly away, breakaway

I'll spread my wings
And I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway
