For Friday, August 5: Lifesong/And Now My Lifesong Sings

I don't mean to be morbid.  Well, maybe I do because we all die.  We can't and won't get around that.  Anyway. 
Today's song(s) are to be on my memorial service playlist. For real.  Yes, I'm being 100% serious.  I've actually told several people that and now I'm telling you so there's no reason they won't appear.  Today's song(s) are a twofer...sort of.  The second one is a sequel to the first.  They go together so together they must stay.  :)
If (ha, I totally used that word again and we all know it is a gross understatement when it comes to who I'm about to mention) Steven Curtis Chapman is my favorite solo artist then Casting Crowns is my favorite group.  By far. Their lyrical content is rich, deep, and resonates with me on so many levels. 
Lifesong/And Now My Lifesong Sings is my heart's cry.  I want my lifesong to bring pleasure to God's heart.  I want my lifesong to bring knowledge of him.  I want my lifesong to be a reflection of what God has done in me and how I chose to live that out.  And Now My Lifesong Sings is an update of sorts of my most favorite song, Amazing Grace.  At the end of my life I want to be marked by God's amazing grace.  I hope I am.  See God's amazing grace is available to all of us but only some of us will actually allow our lives to be marked by it.  Oh that at the end of my days people will be able to look at me and know that my life was marked by his amazing grace.  And while I'm living I want all that I do and say to be marked by his amazing grace as well, that's the melody AND harmony of my lifesong.  I sure don't get it right all the time, some days I am really out of tune - painfully so but it is my heart's desire and mission. 
So, what's the tune and theme of your lifesong?  :)

The Feast of Firstfruits & Easter Go for Broke Day If it scares you this is the day to go for it no matter what. One Day Without Shoes Day Today is to raise global awareness for children’s health and education.  Why shoes? Because shoes help protect from bacteria in the dirt, rusty nails, dirty needles and shoes enable feet to withstand the long distances most children in developing countries need to walk to get to school. Join TOMS One for One There is plenty of criticism out there for TOMS and its short term solutions. Critics don't even buy the "at least they are doing something" statement.  However, you have to start somewhere. And every bit of awareness helps something go from short term to long term.  We all have a part to play. Read a Road Map Day One of the many reasons I would stink at The Amazing Race is because I never did learn how to read a road map well.  I remember doing worksheets and class lessons on maps and I was able to skate by to pa

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.
