Faith Logs

Faith Logs is my monthly wrap-up of life and faith. This time, I’m weaving it together with song titles; so girl, put that record on.

If It’s Love

I’m single, yes but hopelessly romantic. I often wonder why love hasn’t yet found me. I keep a quiet partner in my diary, one I write to longingly. There are cures for most ailments, but the heart knows none. Still, I remind myself: if it’s love, it has no season; if it’s love, there’s no cure. (Though I’ll still keep my doctor’s appointments!)

That Thing You Do!

When I’m alone, I fall into deep thought. One night, I realized I’m not the girl I used to be. Once, I made people laugh easily; now, I lean towards melancholy. It took me back to my college years, when this song was an anthem bright, shiny, happy. And I thought: I want to find her again.

Every Kinda People

When life doesn’t shine on you, it’s easy to feel like the unlucky one. But aren’t we all searching for love, for a sliver of sunshine to call our own? I sometimes feel almost forgotten, yet it truly takes every kinda people; the forgotten, the leaders, the honest, the dreamers to make the world go round.

Radio

I don’t listen to music every day, but on Saturdays I sink into it with my headphones. Music has that magic instantly lifting the spirit, throwing a one-person party, carrying you back through memories. And when this song plays, would you turn it up?

Automatic Yes

This month has been an automatic yes to small, steady things: staying on my path (even if it’s my comfort zone), tying up loose ends before the year closes, creating more art, tending to the garden, and letting life unfold through both its sunshine and its storms.

Same Heartbreak, Different Day

Of course, even with all my “yeses,” the truth remains: seasons pass, but sometimes it feels like the same heartbreak, different day. Do you ever just want to scream for a shift, something unexpected, a delightful surprise? Yet most mornings, it’s back to wake up, repeat.

A musical Faith Logs for a September that’s been both sweet and sour.

Life won’t hurt you if you keep smiling.

Keep the Faith Always!
