You know the ones- where you find yourself wondering who had gotten in our head and written down every one of your thoughts. For me, with August about to begin, there is no song that feels more personal to me than Nichole Nordeman's Slow Down...
Slow down
Won't you stay here a minute more
I know you want to walk through the door
But it's all too fast
Let's make it last a little while
I pointed to the sky and now you wanna fly
I am your biggest fan
I hope you know I am
But do you think you can somehow
Slow down
Moms, you get it, right? It truly is the thought of every mom out there. You see, in August both of my kids celebrate big birthdays. My oldest will be TEN years old! TEN! Double digits. It seems as though we were just welcoming him into our world, and how he's already been through a decade! And my baby? She'll be turning FOUR! Something about four just seems a whole lot older than three for some reason! Yes, those words hit true to my heart.
But it's not her only song that has had that affect on me. I first discovered Nichole Nordeman many years ago through her song Legacy. Another amazing song that I found myself relating to, and wanting to live my life by. She certainly has a knack for having that affect on me. And the title track from her newest album is no different. Take a listen:
I don't know about you, but these words hit pretty close to home to me. I often find myself thinking about all the places we've been- the good, the bad, the ugly... and sometimes I find myself wondering what things could have been, or thinking of what I'd like to change. I know deep down that every moment has lead me right to where God wanted me, but you know.. sometimes we need that reminder.
This song and this album are truly the reason that I love music. Slow Down and Every Mile Mattered are only two of the amazing songs featured, but each and every one are amazing. They speak to our hearts in a way that only music can. If you're looking for a great album to pull at those heartstrings, look no further.
