11 Songs That Heal: A Playlist For When You Are In the Valley

The eternal journey to cultivate our soul is one that takes us to the top of some of the highest mountains, but in between those mountains are some of the deepest valleys.  As always a good support system, self-care, and your spirituality are going to be your go-to tools to start climbing your way back to the top.  Music is often something many people turn to when emotions are high, whether happy or sad.  Stacey and I recently realized that we both tend to use music as a way to process our feelings, so we decided to start sharing the music that gets us through some of the most momentous and some of the most horrible times in our lives.  I created this playlist when I was dealing with the separation of my mom and step-dad and the death of my father this past fall.  This was a very trying period in my life and I crafted this playlist to not only remind myself to cling to God but to forgive myself and those who hurt me.  I also added in some praise songs.  What better place to praise Him, than when we are clinging to the hem of his garments?

I hope you find joy in your pain while you listen to God speak to you through these songs.
