Soundtrack of my life

I figure it's not fair for movies and TV shows to have soundtracks when normal people don't. I used to pick songs as my theme song, but now, I've decided to use them all in a list that encompasses different aspects of me and my life.

1. "Let Everything that Has Breath" I prefer Jeremy Camp's version. I'd start with this song to show that God comes first in my life, and I always want to start by praising Him. Sure, sometimes I forget to, I'm still learning. "Praise you when I'm laughing/ Praise you when I'm greiving/Praise you every season of the soul". I praise Him no matter what I'm going through. It's the only way I can get through life.
2. "A Love that will Last" Renee Olstead. Man, do I love this song. It fits me in the sense that I don't want a "complicated past". I don't want to got through a bunch of relationships and come away from each with baggage. (Not that I've had any opporunity to do so, but still) "Don't kiss and hug me/ and then try to run" "I don't want just a memory/ Give me forever/ Don't even think about saying goodbye/ 'Cause I just want one love/ To be enough/ And remain in my heart till I die." Clear enough for you?
3. "Love Song for No One" John Mayer. Well, kind of self-explanatory, there. I'm not in a relationship right now. Actually never have been. "I'm tired of being alone/ So hurry up and get here." Sort of my impatient side, you know. LOL
4. "Love, Peace and Happiness" Out of Eden. Everything I have, God gave me. "You've given me love peace and happiness/ Life and I know I'm blessed/ All that I need and yes/ Lord with everything you've done for me/ Most thankful 'cause you've given me You."
5. "Feelin' the Same Way" Norah Jones. Sometimes you just get in this mood that doesn't seem to go away, not good, not bad, just a little off. "Feelin' the same way all over again/ No matter how much I pretend".
6. "What Am I to You" Norah Jones. Well, anytime I have a crush on someone I just want to know what they think of me. Pretty easy to understand.
7. "All at Sea"Jamie Cullum. Harder to explain. It's one of my "voluntary isolation" songs. "I'm all at sea/ Where no one can bother me"... "Please just leave me right here on my own/ Later on you can spend some time with me/ If you want to/ All at sea." Sort of about not being in a relaionship again. (And no, I don't usually dwell on that fact so often.)
8. "Ain't Misbehavin'" Peter Cincotti's version. Actually on this song I like to change it to "Ain't misbehavin'/ Savin' my love for... who?" LOL
9. "Following You" Jadon Lavik. I bought Jadon's CD for this and a couple other songs. If I'd known better, I'd have just bought the individual songs. Still this is good. "This world has so much clarity/ With you walkin' right in front of me." Just about following God's plan for your life. Something I've been working on lately. Being able to do it with "All my heart/ All my mind/ And all my soul."
10. "On the Moon" Peter Cinotti. Actually, this has nothing to do with my life. At all. I just love this song. Acutally, most songs like this one make me very sarcastic, but I just adore this one beyond reason. "On the Moon/ That's where you'll find me soon/ I'll be alone again/ Well that's ok I must be on my own again/ I'll be waiting on the moon/ For you." Another "voluntary isolation" thing. I suppose I'm guilty of cutting myself off from people at times.
11. "Enough" Jeremy Camp. God certainly is more than enough for me.
12. " Walk by Faith" Jeremy Camp. Perfect. You just have to listen to understand, and I'm not about to type out the whole song here for you, just listen to it. "Help me to rid my endless fears/ You've been so faithful for all my years."
13. "Nothing but the Blood" Jadon Lavik. Another song I bought the CD for. Beautiful rendition.

I know there are more songs I'd put on my soundtrack, but I'll have to do a "Vol. 2" some other day I think. Thanks for reading!
