Music

My parents were here visiting last weekend and in a conversation I made a comment that has played over and over in my mind since. I simply said, "I think some people are music people and some people are not." There's not a lot of depth to it or any hidden meanings. I simply think that some people are more drawn to music than others. I have always loved music and a variety of it. However, since marrying Matt 7 and a half years ago, my enjoyment of music has been pushed into a side-hobby. He enjoys music to a much deeper level than I. He has a passion for finding new artists that have great talent and make great music. I get to sit back and enjoy his research. It's really a great set up for me. Anyhow, I wanted to share a few songs that are on my frequently played list lately.

First up is Sydney by Brett Dennen. This song makes me get up and move - Every. Time. I use it when I'm on the treadmill and it buys me another 3.5 minutes. It just has such fun energy and I know I look like a total goofball while running and mouthing words and punching my fists in front of me but hey, it's another 3.5 minutes of elevated heart rate and sweat. Great song!

Next is In Christ Alone. This is a worship song that I learned while attending First Euless. If I choose to be engaged in worshiping (not just singing while allowing my mind to wander) this song brings me to tears every time. There is so much truth within that grips my soul and causes me to praise my Lord and my God. "No guilt in life; no fear in death; this is the power of Christ in me." Yes! I no longer am counted guilty! I am free to worship without shame or guilt. I am counted as a daughter of the Most High King! Ah! I could go on and on but that's a sermon for another day. Great song.

Finally is Precious Love by James Morrison. I cannot help but get on my feet and dance with my darling sons when this song plays. They are a most precious blessing in my life and I am forever grateful for my time with them. Not to mention the fantastic beat and vintage feel to it - a great song.
