SONG OF THE WEEK: Holy Spirit /Beautiful Things

16 January

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! (sent 15 days ago) ;-)... To kick off the first SONG OF THE WEEK of the new year I thought I would do something extra special, but before we get there, let's have a chat!

2014, for me, was a year that had a lot of great triumphs but also a great deal of stress. I think that the good that came from last year was that I really figured out the person that I want to be. I feel like I understand who I am and have gotten to a place where my life path has become very clear. All of this learning was great for me but realizations like these don't come without some testing. I can honestly say that 2014 was my year of testing. I was tested in relationships, finances, goals, career etc. pretty much every way possible. That's part of the reason why I was pretty MIA the last month. But I can proudly say that I came out of it on the other end a better more determined me and it is only by the grace of God. Without the constant and unfailing love of Jesus I would not be this new and improved version of myself. There were many special people that the Lord put in my life throughout last year. In the same token there were a some that He took out. Although some of that was pretty bad, I know now that the weeping may endure for a night, but joy WILL come in the morning.

This first post really represents what I'm looking forward to this year. Instead of making resolutions that I probably will not keep. I'm going to focus, this year, on looking to Jesus. So its quite fitting that the first SONG OF THE WEEK of 2015 gives all the credit to the one who brought me through!

To make up for my trip to "slacker city" last month. This is the first ever SONG OF THE WEEK MashUp & Collaboration!!! I got to sing with one of my favorite people Becca Sargent and it was really great. Before this we had not done a video together since December 2013 and it was long overdue.

Theses songs, "Holy Spirit" by Bryan & Katie Torwalt from the album "Here On Earth" and "Beautiful Things" by Gungor from the album of that same name, were literally two of my 2014 anthems through those rough times. I pray the lyrics bless you and that you enjoy watching the cover we made as much as I enjoyed making it. So here's to 2015 the year of GOOD MORNINGS! <3 G.

SONG OF THE WEEK: Only Human

05 December

SONG OF THE WEEK is back! YAY! *cue applause* So I missed a week because of Thanksgiving but were back this week better than ever! I promise all is well with the world once again. So let's kick this one into high gear!

But first, before we go there I want to start by saying that one of the things that I want to accomplish with the SONG OF THE WEEK is to hopefully make you guys aware of songs that I not only love but also introduce to new jams that you may have never heard before. It's also a way for me to share my love and gift of music with you all. Singing has always been such a huge part of my life. Outside of my faith it's been the one constant that I've known and has been my only dream since I was small. Recently I've just had this resurgence in my thinking, where I just feel as though following your dreams and doing what you love is the most important thing (more on this in a future blog). So, hopefully you feel that when you read these blogs.

Moving along, this song, "Only Human", was recently released and if you are in the UK then this artist is most likely a household name, but for those of us here in the US you may only know her if you're like me and spend way too much time on YouTube watching X-Factor videos! I'm talking about the amazing Cheryl Fernandez-Versini or to those who love her CHERYL! ;)

Although shes been given some slack for her vocals, I think nothing could be further form the truth. She sings this ballad with such grace and depth. The lyrics are thoughtful and truly capture the emotion of what must have been a very refining time in Cheryl's life. It not only speaks to that, but also covers a broader feeling of living life the best way you know how and turning your mistakes into lessons that shape your successes.

Enjoy!
