Lately I've been thinking about songs that have had a positive influence on me. The songs that God uses to pick me up when I feel down. The songs that make me feel beautiful, when I try to run to makeup to cover up what I think is ugly. The songs that stick in my head, and lyrics that I remember when I get wrapped up in the things of this world. I started making a list. This list is now a few pages long, and I thought I'd share them so that maybe they can be an encouragement to you as well.
