When God Ran

I first heard this song at a youth retreat yesterday morning.  I listened to it several times when I woke up in the middle of the night.  It's amazing.  GO LISTEN!  :)

Tuesday Tunes with Jordan Taylor

Hello and welcome to another session of Tuesday Tunes! Today we have a song from a YouTuber, Jordan Taylor, that Grace and I are big fans of. Jordan made an album somewhere about a year ago called 'Long Drive.' I hadn't really gotten around to listening to it until Sunday when Grace and I made our (possibly 1,000th...) Q&A style blog post. That's when I listened to the song I'm featuring today. 'Don't Let Me Go.' WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW. I think we all have times in our lives when we fall away from doing what we know is right. Sometimes we just feel disconnected from God. This song beautifully expresses that deep heartache from the bad choices we've made, and sends a heartfelt plea for God to stay with us. I can't quite do it justice with my own words. Give it a listen, and let me know what you think.

You can listen to 'Don't Let Me Go' and the rest of Jordan Taylor's album here.

 I recommend 'Need Each Other' especially.

Enjoy! ~Promise

This or That II: The Promise Edition

Hair up or down?

Uggggg, I get a lot of flack for wearing my hair in a ponytail all the time, but I like my hair down too. (Unless it's being knotty, pun intended, then it goes up.) 

Red or blue?

Generally, blue. Unless we're talking lipstick. 

Star of the show or behind-the-scenes?

Well, you've already asked me this....Don't know. I like acting.

Hot cocoa or coffee?

BOTH. At the same time. It's called a mocha and it's one of the tastiest things ever. 

A night at the opera (or a music recital of other sorts) or in the stands at a high school football game?

Football game. I don't like operas.

 

Brass instruments or stringed?

Stringed. Especially guitar and cello. I love to feel the vibrations.

Christmas or Thanksgiving?

CHRISTMAS. 

Shakespeare or a textbook? 

You're cruel, you know that? I could deal with 'Much Ado about Nothing.'

 

British accent or Scottish accent?

I love both.....I actually break into a British accent sometimes without realizing it. 

Elevator or stairs?

Stairs. More dramatic. ;)

This or That...THE SEQUAL Grace Edition

YOU THOUGHT WE WERE DONE WITH THESE...Oh no. These will never die.

1. No grains or no meat?
Honestly no meat.  You aren't taking my pumpkin-flavored Thomas English muffins THAT easily.

2. No lip balm or no lotion?
No lip balm.  I can't live without lotion for my hands, especially in the winter.  And I generally live without lip balm, as Promise often notices when she's trying to put red lipstick on me.  #noshame

3. Blimey Cow or Studio C?
Blimey Cow, as much as I love Studio C.  I agree with BC more.

4. Narnia or LOTR?
LOTR.  THE PARALLELLLLLLLLSSSSSSSS.

5. Book or movie?
Book.  I would much rather read any day.  Although, movies are more mindless...nah, always book.

6. Casting Crowns or Piano Guys?
Casting Crowns.  As you can tell by my YouTube history and Pandora stations.

7. Natural or painted nails?
Natural.  I VERY rarely have painted nails.

8. Day or night?
Daytime.  I'm still scared of the dark.  Buuuut, I do love a night on the town.  I love to look at the lights.

9. Dress or jeans?
Jeans.  All.  Day.  Long.

10. Cats or dogs?
Cats.  Always.

Tuesday Tunes with Mathew West! Again!

Hey everyone! Welcome back to Tuesday Tunes. I know I did a Mathew West song recently, but he has a new song out called "Mended." Let me tell you, this song is A M A S I N G. If you're going through something hard this is the song for you. Maybe you're making changes in your life, maybe you're dealing with guilt from past mistakes. This song reminds you, God is bigger than anything you're going through. Keep your head up! God's got a plan, and he'll help you out. God loves you! ~Promise

Tuesday Tunes with Steven Curtis Chapman

Hey everyone, today I have a song by one of the first musicians I ever listened to. Steven Curtis Chapman has some pretty powerful music. I love this song, called 'Magnificent Obsession.' It's a fluent expression of his love for God. The music is stunning, and the lyrics meaningful and desire driven. Try it out guys. ~ Promise.
