When words fail me, I always turn to other people’s music to express those unsung emotions in me. And this is another phase of my life where I am at a loss for words, not because I am going through something rough and deep. Maybe it’s just a season where I have been writing too many words for other people that when it comes to telling you how I really feel, I cannot form coherent thoughts. All I can do is sing
And these are the songs that tell you where I am at now
Shifting Sands by Caedmon’s Call
Always, I am standing on His grace. Otherwise, if I relied on my always shaky faith, I would have long been gone.
Love Will Come to You by Indigo Girls
I am always surrounded by friends whose hearts are continually broken, and I myself will always live with a cracked heart. And this song is for all of us who still nourish that sliver of hope
Awake My Soul by Mumford and Sons
“You were meant to meet your Maker” – and yet I continually live my life as if I’m meant for other things. Sigh. Everyday, I need to “awake my soul”
C.S Lewis Song by Brooke Fraser
Again, I have to remind myself everyday that I am in this world, but I am not of this world
Lost by Coldplay
In keeping with my forever theme of lostness, “just because I’m losing, doesn’t mean I’m lost”
Restless by Switchfoot
Aside from lost, restless seems to be my default mode. And when I first heard this song, I thought Jon Foreman was personally speaking to me
