I love Christmas.  Each year, I buy my oldest two boys the next edition of the WOW Chrisitan Hits CD.  So “we” now have the 2012 disc. Love it!!  It has some of the BEST songs!

I am linking up over at Failure Is Never Final again for Tune In Tuesday.  You have to have a song that really speaks to you to, do you not?  I have so many that my biggest struggle is selecting which one I want to pick for this series.  Actually, since I’m the author of FNF too, I get to pick two each week – woohoo.  I am sure that this will catch on big time once I get a following for either of these blogs.  Music is such a huge part of people’s life.  The words and the music really speak to so many people, it is just such a natural thing to want to share.

Today, I’m desiring to share one of my favorite artists, Francesca Battistelli.  In fact, when I first encountered Pandora, my station was “Francesca Battistelli” because that it the type of music that really resonates with me.  I’m guessing that if you are a woman, this song will speak to you too!  It is called “This is The Stuff” and the song and lyrics can be found here on YouTube.  Check it out!  In case you need convincing, here is a little teaser:

I lost my keys in the great unknown
And call me please ‘Cuz I can’t find my phone

This is the stuff that drives me crazy
This is the stuff that’s getting to me lately
In the middle of my little mess
I forget how big I’m blessed
This is the stuff that gets under my skin
But I gotta trust You know exactly what You’re doing
It might not be what I would choose
But this is the stuff You use

45 in a 35
Sirens and fines while I’m running behind . . .

See, you relate, don’t you?!?

Today I’m linking up to Tune In Tuesday over at Failure Is Never Final.

Have a song that really inspires you?  On Tune It Tuesdays, you are encouraged to write a blog post about it and then link up.  You can link up anytime from Tuesday through Saturday.

The song that I am selecting for today is “Let The Waters Rise” by Mikeschair.  Here is a link to it on YouTube (with lyrics).  This song really meets me where I am in life right now.  I have the head knowledge that God is completely in control of everything.  I desire to put that knowledge into practice, but I struggle.  I do have an underlying peace about my whole situation, but there is still a part of me that needs reassurance.  This song helps me to gain the proper perspective.  You were faithful before, you’ll be faithful again.  I’m holding your hand” is a line from the song.  Powerful, isn’t it?
