If you are looking for traveling music for your adventure journey of discovering who God created you to be and what He created you to do, I highly recommend Casting Crowns’ Thrive. This is album played constantly in 2015 when I wrote Created For So Much More. I know it’s not the most current of albums, but the truths and encouragement sung on this album continue to encourage me on my journey.
The title song is full of encouragement that we were created for so much more than living ordinary lives. We thrive and live extraordinary lives when we embrace who He created us to be, doing what He created us to do. We thrive as we live in the sweet spot of identity and purpose.
I often say that God has much bigger vision for our lives than we do. That sentiment is echoed in the song, Dream For You, which is sung from God’s perspective. As I listen to the lyrics of God’s vision for David and Mary, I begin to wonder how much more He has for me and my future.
These are just two of the many powerful songs full of lyrics to live by that are included in this album. It remains a favorite of mine, even though I no longer listen to it nonstop like I did at the condo when I wrote the first draft of Created For So Much More.
Let me know what you think. What are you listening to these days?
