This week has had me thinking of songs that remind me I’m not alone, that the Lord is really there. That He has sent people in my life to touch mine. So these songs might seem a bit random, but they aren’t to me. šŸ™‚ I hope they bless you in some way!

Today I thought I’d try something new and offer a playlist, so you don’t have to watch the videos on my site. I’d love to know what you think of this: should I make more playlists? As I mentioned before in a mix-tape special post, I LOVE making mix-tapes, playlists, or whatever you’d like to call them. šŸ™‚

First up is a beautiful song by JJ Heller: Who You Are. I cry every time I hear it. It’s just every Christian’s cry at least one time in her life: Dear Lord, I don’t know what You’re doing, but I know WHO YOU ARE. <3

Second is a newer song from Danny Gokey. American Idol fans of old will remember him: he was number three in Season 8, beat by Kris Allen and Adam Lambert. I remember always thinking he was such a neat, cool, sweet guy. I liked his voice, but I wasn’t ever blown away by it. However, the first time I heard this song, I fell in love with it, and I love his voice on it.
Hope in Front of Me – Danny Gokey

Third is a song that I have loved since starting my “Health Journey” – Yes We Can by Me in Motion. It really fits my Biggest Loser team right now. Team Transformers CAN DO IT together!!! šŸ˜€

The fourth song has been a blessing to me for many years. Bebo Norman is a favorite worship artist of mine, so it’s always hard to say I have a favorite song of his. But, I LOVE this song…I Will Lift My Eyes.

I could go on forever doing this (seriously, you have no idea!), but I need to wrap it up. The fifth song I’m sharing with you is by the late great Rich Mullins. Jerry and I are looking forward to the movie based on his life story. He was always one of our most influential praise artists. This song, Hold Me Jesus, has always been my favorite of his, and it still gets me every time I hear it. I still pull it out to listen to when I’m having one of my really dark days and can’t even get the words out to pray. <3

Wednesday Worship at Busy Being Blessed

I’d love to hear your thoughts on a playlist. Do you like youtube playlists? Spotify playlists? Or something else entirely?

I pray you have a great and blessed day!

JennAbout Jenn: I’m a Christian wife to an amazing man (since 1998) and a stay-at-home-teaching mom to four special & incredible boys (born in 2004, 2005, 2007, & 2009). Iā€™m messy and cluttered, but working on that (really, I am!). Iā€™m a discouraged perfectionist and a classic procrastinator who probably has both ADD & Autism, so I tend to jump from topic to topic (and activity to activity) without notice. My Love Languages are Words of Affirmation and Physical Touch. Iā€™m an INFP who enjoys friends but loves to be alone. I love getting and giving hugs, and encouragement is a Spiritual gift of mine that can too-easily be turned into the weapon of discouragement, if Iā€™m not careful. I enjoy writing, singing, words, drawing, photography, digital creations, and reading. Oh, and pizza, tacos, and steak. Now Iā€™m hungry. That reminds me; I eat gluten free and try to eat organic and avoid white sugar and GMOs as much as possible.Ā  I’ve very recently returned to the workforce (after 22 years!) as a teacher in a Christian childcare because I love Jesus and love little ones! I love it!

    5 Things NOT to Say to Someone Experiencing Infertility

    ByJenn

    hello. a fellow infertility struggler manda linked to this on her site. i feel i should do the same. what not to say to an infertile couple. even if you think you’re being kind and sensitive, some things come out wrong, or are at least received wrong!!!!!!!
    i found out the pregnant woman who works in the infant room (next door to me in the toddler room) tried a whole year before she got pregnant. wow. i never knew. i just thought it just happened. sometimes i get so caught up in myself i forget that i’m not the only one who has the problem of infertility.
    manda also had a few questions that i’d like to answer – replying to people’s insensitive (or just plain ignorant) comments.

    1. “I wouldn’t give up my twenties for ANYTHING. I can’t believe you are stressing about infertility at 25 (a few years ago)! What if God wants you to wait until you are twenty-eight?”

    first of all, i have always wanted to be a mother. i wanted to begin my family when we first got married. for a while after we COULDN’t get pregnant, i thought God was punishing us for not trusting in Him to plan our family. i have since reconciled this. anyway, children are blessings from the Lord. why would i not want to be blessed????

    2. “Be glad you don’t have kids right now. Kids can be such MONSTERS.” or “You’ll never want kids again, after watching mine.” or this is what i get all the time: “You can have my kids if you want some so badly.”

    as if kids are always perfect, and i should expect perfection. no, kids are humans, just like us. and NO i don’t want YOUR child, i want MY child, from an infant, to love and teach as i want him to be raised!

    3. “If you stop trying, you’ll get pregnant right away.”

    that is NOT how infertility works!!!! trying too hard causes stress, which can’t help, but it won’t change infertility. infertility is just like cancer or a sickness – it has to be treated, not ignored!!

    —–

    well enough of that for now. i need to be going.
    God’s blessings unto you,
