In Plain Sight...

Everyone once in a while, I get sucked into the cyberspace black hole known as YouTube. Today, I needed a pick-me-up, so I thought I would jump online and listen to an upbeat song or two. When I have a specific song in mind, I go straight to YouTube. Most of the time one or two songs turn into 20. Often, I end up spending an hour or so on YouTube before I can pry my eyes from the screen. Sometimes, it’s YouTube’s fault because they “suggest” videos for you to watch next. Other times, one song reminds me of another one somehow, and my memories change the course of the journey. The best part is the journey. I love to see where I end up; like today, I started with a well-liked female pop artist and ended with a Grammy winning female Contemporary Christian artist. They both produce upbeat, catchy tunes but send way different messages to the world.

Today’s YouTube List:
1. Kesha: Tik Tok
2. Kesha: Blah Blah Blah
3. Kesha: Your Love is My Drug

5. Kesha: Take It Off

9. Journey: Don’t Stop Believing
10. Journey: Any Way You Want It
11. Journey: Faithfully
12. One Republic: All the Right Moves
13. Darius Rucker: Alright
14. Zac Brown Band: Toes

17. Francesca Battistelli: Free to Be Me
18. Francesca Battistelli: Beautiful, Beautiful
19. Francesca Battistelli: I’m Letting Go
20. Francesca Battistelli: It’s Your Life

I know that God knew what He was doing today. He put me in my musical happy place; then, He sent me several messages I really needed to hear. It may sound crazy to some, but I feel like God sends me signs to let me know what He wants for my life. Today, through the words of Francesca Battistelli’s song Free to Be Me, He told me…

Perfection is my enemy...So, I decided that I’m letting go…
