Still an unnamed blog...: I'm such a dork.

This story ends much happier than it starts. I promise.

So tonight I was on the precipice of a mini-freakout session, kinda like this one I wrote about before, but a lot smaller. I was kinda irrational and thinking, of all things, that I would drive to Lafayette because, for some reason, I really, really wanted to see my mom. (I have no idea why. I don't even tell my mom about my boring old grownup problems when we talk on the phone. I don't see why all of a sudden I'd want to see her in person about them.)

Keep in mind this was at 10 o'clock at night, and it takes about 3.5 hours to get to Lafayette. (I did it once in three hours, but I have yet to re-create that magic.) So basically I was prepared to drive until 1:30 a.m. without anyone even knowing I was coming. I was even penning an e-mail to the worship pastor at Church on the Boulder in Pascagoula* saying, "I'm sorry, I won't be there tomorrow. I can't explain right now." But, luckily, I didn't get to send it because I was also packing a duffel bag and eating a candy bar at the same time, which is how I do most things as a multi-tasking woman.

So then all of a sudden I'm like, "Woah! Stop! Wait a second! What's going on here?"

I decided to give a crazy idea a chance. What if, instead of freaking out like a crazy person, I just chose to worship God instead? What if I gave that a try for 30 minutes before I decided to pack up and leave because I couldn't face my problems?

(Aside: Now, I realize that if we're keeping score, I *technically* probably screwed up about at the point where I worked myself up in enough of a tizzy to even convince myself that randomly driving to Lafayette would be a good idea, but at least I figured out a good idea before I got to Slidell, right? Let's focus on what I did right, people!)

In this particular instance, I went with song instead of prayer or writing or reading scripture out loud. (I know. That last one is particularly nerdy.)

So, anyway, I just wanted to post my worship playlist in YouTube format. That's actually the whole reason I shared that story. I actually own most of these songs and only used YouTube to listen to the first and last songs. But it's more fun to share entire videos than just song titles! :OP

I started with "Hosanna" as sung by Hillsong United

Then I went with a something from my college days, yo...

Went back to Hillsong with "Mighty To Save." followed by "Oceans Will Part," both of which are neck-in-neck for "favorite song of the moment." This begins a Hillsong run in the repertoire.
