So today a dear friend brought me a mixed cd that was awesome and got me thinking (imagine that).
Most of these songs I had heard before but I really got to hear them today. I love music and could literally spend hours listening to it. I like all types:
-rap/hip hop music is great for workouts lots of high energy
-worship music really gets me thinking and inspires me
-southern rock takes me back to hometown memories and all the Bent Mountain parties...ask anyone in Roanoke, VA and they know exactly what I mean :) Praise God we all survived those days!
-grunge puts me back into a dark place when I was all alone clinging to addictions, seeking and searching for the next way to cope with the memories of abuse that haunted me daily. You know I would have given anything for someone to have mentioned Jesus' name to me back then...he could have been my hope instead of a blade, drugs, alcohol or bad relationships.
Certain songs remind me of certain people or events. There have been times when I want to re-create the past but why would I want to do that? The past to me has shaped who I am but it was also a difficult place to be without the love of Jesus. There is no way I want to go back, I don't regret my life or my decisions as stupid as some of them may have been I can only look to the future and all the beauty it holds.
