Salty Sound Girl
Issac Watts, 1760
Hello! Glad you stopped by. I’m a salty “sound-girl”, writing from the Puget Sound region, in WA state. I’m also known as Kristen.
In our corner of the world, we enjoy mountains, wildlife, and numerous waterways surrounded by evergreen trees. When the sun is shining and the sky is blue, it’s easy to “sound forth” our praises to God.
However, in the rainy season, it’s a different story. For nearly 6-7 months straight, we endure endless grey, drippy lichen hanging from the abundant alder, and rainy day after rainy day.
Sounds a lot like life. Days of rejoicing, days of hardship. And within every day, lies an opportunity, a welcome, from God Himself. We are invited, we humans, precious in His sight. We are invited into His family. We are invited to love Him, anyway.

We sing to Him out of gratitude for Who He is and what He has done. In creating the world and all that is in it, the universe and the laws we will never understand, He demonstrated His supremacy and glory.
The song is a prayer, where the singer tells the Lord that he can’t even count high enough to name all the blessings from above.
The Father knew that I would need this truth for the hard years ahead.
Turning. Sometimes it takes an effort almost superhuman. Especially when anxiety and or depressive feelings pervade. Sometimes we are too anxious, too watchful–we don’t think that we can take our eyes off of this thing even for a minute. How can we give it over to Someone else?
It was so weird, waiting for someone else to die, so that he could live.
