Music: the soundtrack of your life

Featured ~ Lisa Brittain

It’s Friday, and for the Americans, Happy Independence Birthday celebration! Speaking of celebration this weekend will be all about cookouts, swimming, dancing, boating, and fireworks – all set to a musical soundtrack. Thank you, Kate, for this Friday word. I have set my timer to 5, and GO!

If I were to put together a Spotify playlist according to the seasons of my life, from the 60s through the early 2000s, I would have produced the soundtrack of my life. I don’t even have Spotify, but I’ve been thinking quite a bit about this concept lately. I think there are 3 specific reasons, and here they are if you care to know.

First, I’m getting older and we tend to think of that last ceremony more and more as we get older. Personally, I would rather choose the Spotify playlist than leave the choices to someone who did not live my life. Is that too controlling?

And then I remember that I have already asked our younger son to learn to play the hymn “It Is Well” on his guitar. I hope he will play his guitar for my last ceremony. I hope someone will play “It Is Well” because I will be totally and wholly well for the first time and for eternity!

Five minutes are gone. Click here to read my second and third reasons…

I am an avid follower of Jesus. I have been since my early twenties when I met Him personally and received dramatic healing in my body and mind. After many years of marriage and raising sons into the teen years, I was challenged to explore the duplicity of my spoken faith followed up by fearful actions. I received the challenge presented by both of my sons. They love me and so they dared to confront me with the truth. Chips off my proverbial block! I determined then {more than a decade ago} to overcome fear with faith that was more than words. In my late 40's I made a decision to leave the desert wandering behind and set out to pursue the abundant life Jesus promised His disciples. I am a tentmaker {actually a reupholsterer} by day, which helps to support the call God has on my life to serve Him in my community. I thoroughly enjoy my work. Repairing and restoring throw-away furniture is a fulfilling creative outlet. More so, my Cheer House Repair and Restore business opens the door for me to interact with my community. My passion is to walk so closely to Jesus that others want to know Him too. I love to introduce women to Him as we walk, talk, and work together hand in hand through everyday life. Nothing thrills me more than to watch someone fall so in love with Jesus through His word and conversation; learning to trust His heart and receive His great love! I have been married to my dear man for over 30 rollercoaster years. We're simply thrilled that our latter days are more joyful and purposeful than our first. Together we have two - grown young men on their own journeys. Additionally, we share our home with 3 lively rescue pups. I look forward to having you join me on this journey of faith... Bold feet, humble heart Psalm 131 ~ Lisa

  1. Don’t set me up for viewing,
    don’t give me one last last tearful glance.
    Get a party brewing,
    and everybody dance!
    Let Pastor be the DJ,
    with Mad Woman helping, too,
    and for starts they might play
    ABBA’S ‘Waterloo’,
    and then maybe ‘Dancing Queen’
    (I really think they must!),
    and perhaps, for change of scene,
    ‘Another One Bites The Dust ‘.
    Then quickly some Van Halen,
    and of course, ‘Thunderstruck’.
    get Bob Marley wailin’,
    and put me in my junkyard truck,
    fill the cab with tannerite,
    and blow me to the Blessed Light.

  3. I’ve been thinking lately that I need to put together a will and figure some stuff out for when I die. Probably the sooner the better eh?
