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 a curious follower of Jesus. I have been since my early twenties when I met Him personally and received miraculous healing in my body and mind. After many years of marriage and raising sons into the teen years, I received a challenge to explore the duplicity of my spoken faith followed up by my fearful living choices. It was my two sons, who loved me enough to confront me with the truth. They called out the hypocrisy of fear, and I am forever thankful. Chips off my proverbial block! I determined then to overcome fear with faith that was more than words. Years ago, with my eyes open to my sin of unbelief I made a decision to leave the desert wandering behind and set out to pursue the abundant life Jesus promised His disciples. God has been faithful to teach me, grow me up, and help me to let go of all the things that used to mean security to me. 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 in love with Jesus through His word; learning to trust His heart and receive His great love! I have been married to my dear man for over 36 rollercoaster years. We're simply thrilled that our latter days are more joyful and purposeful than our first. Together we have helped to grow two young men, who are now married with their own families. God is continuing to help them write their own faith stories. Additionally, we share our home with an old rescue pup. I look forward to having you join me here to fix our eyes on Jesus and shine with His radiance, Lisa Psalm 34:5

  2. 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.

  6. 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?
