The Soundtrack of My Life

I’m singing along with the iPod this evening.  Amazing how almost every song is one of my favorites!  :-)  It’s also amazing how certain songs can instantly transport me to time and place gone by.  To people I’ve known.  People I’ve loved.  Experiences I experienced.  “The Soundtrack of My life!”

“Anything For You,” by Gloria Estefan is in my ear and I’m singing along much to the chagrin of my neighbors, for sure!  (apartment living)  A time in Roswell when I was hurting over love lost.  I wish I could find the English/Spanish version, but so far no “luck.”

Here’s Godly and Cream with “Cry.”  Great break-up, drown in your sorrows song!

There are hundreds of songs on this iPod.  Each with it’s own story, feeling, person, place, experience.  Some stories I may tell here someday.  Most, probably not.  But they are ALL mine to cherish.

Funny.  Since I love weather, many of them also have a season, or even a specific type of weather, associated with them.  That is a really funny thing about memories.  Experiences are all lived through our own set of “bents.”  Those things that God has put in us that make us us.  You may not associate weather with most of your memories!  You aren’t wired that way.

The other thing about looking back.  While a song may bring back strong feelings of a person, or a place, or a time, it’s now filtered through my life in Christ!  What did I learn from that?  How has God changed me since then?

Life is an adventure!  Much more so when you know the God who created you!  Plug into Him and watch Him not only change who you are, but watch Him change how you look at who you were!!!
