I just feel like crying, curling up in my bed all day and I want acheeseburger!

Have you ever felt this way?

This is exactly how I was feeling this morning. I didn't want to do anything at all, but I sucked it up and got ready and went to church (as i cried on the way for no reason at all). It took me awhile to dive into worship because I was feeling so down and broken. I hate this feeling more than anything and I hate that satan can make me feel this way! Once I stopped and began singing, listening to the words and worshipping this feeling of sadness, doubt and brokenness just melted off (I still had a cheeseburger for lunch).

I'm not quite sure where I'm going with this blog post other than to just share how I felt today and to share how for me worshipping the Lord is an AMAZING way to conquer this feeling. I pray that if you ever feel this way that you run to your Bible and read scripture to encourage you or to your iPod and begin listening to worship music and just forget what's around you and leave it all at the cross.

These songs have been such an encouragement to me this week and I'm glad I can share them with you.

Music Monday!

As I pulled up my blog to post my Music Monday post I realized that I forgot to post last week.  It so crazy how time can just get away from you that quickly.  I can't believe it is November and the holiday season is upon us again.  

Here are a few of the songs that I am really enjoying this week.

 

"Mixtape" by Butch Walker

Josh Williams thank you for reintroducing Butch Walker to me!  This song was one of my favorites from the "One Tree Hill" soundtrack.  I seem to be listening to this over and over!

Next is Big Daddy Weave! "Redeemed"

 
 


Last but not least is "Over You" by Miranda Lambert. It's amazing that knowing the reason behind a song can intrigue you so much and enjoy the song even more than before.




Hope your week is filled with joy and hope!
