Sunday Soundtrack – October 18

31 Days to a More Abundant Life

Sunday Soundtrack #write31

Hymns to Bless You

Our church sings hymns. We don’t have praise music or a band. We have a piano and a guitar. I love contemporary Christian music…but I just love hymns more. I am thankful that, for the first time in my marriage, we attend a traditional service and my kids are growing up singing hymns in church. This is music we will always share, whether we have drums and a bass guitar in our next church or not.

Our church sings selections from Indelible Grace, an artist collective in Nashville that puts traditional hymns to new melodies. I really love I Asked the Lord...makes me cry everytime!  Some of my other favorites (not that we sing these in church) are O Love That Will Not Let Me Go and On Jordan’s Stormy Banks. Songs like these really stir my heart!

Music to Remind You —
You’re the Dwelling Place of God

This week is all about being God’s Dwelling Place. So often we focus on the negative – the thighs that touch, crow’s feet, the gray hairs…we can be so focused on seeing our external flaws that we forget to see how God has transformed us, inside.

Jesus came so that we could have peace with God and live in fellowship with Him.

Do you not know that
you are a temple of God
and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
1 Cor 3:16

We are well-loved. We are special. He has redeemed us and crowned us with love and compassion (Psalm 103:4). We are beautiful in His eyes. Here are some songs to remind you that you are chosen and treasured by God:

  1. More Beautiful You (Johnny Diaz)
  2. He Knows my Name (Francesca Battistelli)
  3. Wanted (Dara Maclean)
  4. Remind me Who I am (Jason Gray)
  5. Beautiful for Me (Nichole Nordeman)

Music, Church, Songs, Joy

If you have Spotify, you can follow me and my growing playlist called A #MoreAbundantLife. I’ll be adding to it each week. Or you can listen to it right here. If you don’t see the window with the list below, try refreshing your browser.

I love these songs—how about you? Tell me, have you checked out the Spotify playlist??

When the first day of school is also the day your When the first day of school is also the day your firstborn drives herself to college, it’s a lot. We moved her stuff into her dorm last week. Today she got up early to say goodbye to Dad (too early! Not pictured 😂), her brother, her doggo, her piano, and her momma. Before she left, she made blueberry scones to share with her little bro @sjoshlafont —they homeschool and relocated together, went to @westminsteroakmtn together, and have shared a love of music, Legos, superheroes (and villains), Transformers, and so much more. She played my favorite song. She even made banana bread to bring to her new roomie. @graciethenerd You are my little nut brown hare, and I love you to the moon and back. Auburn University is a better place because you are there! ❤️

Also, so grateful for the wonderful school where she spent the last four years—the perfect place to land after years of homeschooling on the move. “For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.” (Ps 100:5) #curatingthegood #graduated🎓 #wisebeyondheryears @graciethenerd @lafonte04 @westminsteroakmtn
