What’s your song?
June 21st, 2009 | 
Author: Every military wife has a song – a song that they listen to when they’re sad, or plays when they’re happy, or needing some serious motivation to keep going. On our last deployment, two of my favorites that were always on my iPod’s “most played” playlist were Avril Lavigne’s “When You’re Gone” and “Keep Holding On.” I know, neither one is faith-based, but I have to say for the “Keep Holding On” song, that it often felt like God was speaking to me through those words, letting me know He was here for me and that things would be okay.

The song that makes me think of my husband since he has been gone is “Believe” By: Skillet. It just says a lot about some things that have been said and some hurts i’ve been having. It describes how i’ve been feeling to a tee…This first time apart has really been rough…
“I Knew I Loved You” by Savage Garden (our song)”Here Without You” by 3 Doors Down (for when he’s gone)”It Is Well (With My Soul)” (when things are rough)
I have to say my new fav would be Britt Nicole’s “Walk on Water!” I can’t believe how much this song seems to be directed to my and wives! She wrote this song for her mother who was actually wanting to open a girls home and they end up doing it in their home! She basically talks about stepping out of the boat with faith and doing what God calls us to as he promises to keep us above water! It is beautifully amazing and encouraging- step out and walk on that water WITH God!

The songs I have been listening to this deployment are
Porcelain Heart- Barlow Girl
Surrender- Barlow Girl
Your the Reason I come home-Ron Pope
Life aint always beautiful- Gary Allen
Come Home Soon- SheDaisy
It’s amazing how a song can lift your spirits and give you renewed resolve. When I am having an “off” day, just listening to these few songs helps to remind me that this is just temporary and soon we will all be back together with God’s loving grace.
When im sad and miss my soldier i listen to
A Soldier’s Wife- Roxie Dean
Sleeping With The Telephone- Reba McEntire
The Soldier Song- Sally Mudd
21 Guns- Green Day
The song that gets me through is “Start Saving Me” by Mike Corrado. It is absolutely amazing!
When it all gets to be too much (no matter the reason) I listen to “Jesus Take the Wheel” by Carrie Underwood.When I miss him and need a pick me up I listen to “Red White and Blue” by Brian McKnight.When I’m happy I listen to “People Are Crazy” by Billy Currington, in the car really loud and sing along because my husband and I do that when he’s home. It always makes me laugh when I do. He’s been gone for 145 days 8 hours 46 minutes and 36 seconds. And will be home in less than 45 days for two weeks.
