Don't Stop Believin'

Don't Stop Believing is the famous song from the band Journey that helped launch an amazing TV Show called Glee. Glee is about a high school glee club that is made up of all different kinds of kids who come together to sing. The glee club is full of diversity from jocks to cheerleaders to loners to divas to anybody who wants to be apart of a group. It didn't matter what your background, this glee club would accept you. The main purposes of this show are to inspire others to don't stop believing in their dreams and to be who you are.

I will be the first to admit that I am a “gleek”. The definition of a gleek is a person who loves Glee very much like a super fan. Now I don't own any merchandise from the show, but have bought lots of songs from Itunes and seen every episode. So maybe I am not a true “gleek”, but have some of those “gleek” qualities within me. Now I was drown to this show because of the music factor. On each episode, the actors would sing between 4 to 8 songs per episode. So the singing always took me to a new place every time I watched an episode.

Another thing that I enjoyed about Glee was how realistic it was to what the youth and young adult generations are going through right now. The topics that were addressed on the show ranged from bullying to teen pregnancy to gay marriage to true acceptance to individuality to self esteem to following your dreams and many others topics. I will say that I don't agree with how this show represented some of the topics, but I will say that I was educated on how truly corrupt this world is and how badly everybody needs Jesus. Jesus is the only ay to true happiness. There was a tiny bit of Christian symbolism but not much. They stayed away from it because it isn't the stuff people wanted to see. Just like every show it catered to what their audience wants to watch. That is why I commend the show because this is truly realistic corruption. It makes me pray for this generation harder.

So let me share with you the things I have learned from watching Glee:

1. Don't stop believing in your dreams

2. You are fearfully, wonderfully and uniquely made by God

3. There is corruption and confusion in this world

4. Prayer is needed at a whole new level

5. Jesus is the only one who can give a person strength

So in conclusion, Glee was an eye opening TV show to watch. I am sad to see the show end because the music will stop. I do look forward to using this show as a ministering toll to show others Jesus. My prayer is that this show will inspire people to be who Jesus wants us to be. TV shows can give inspiration, but Jesus is the only one who can fulfill our needs.
