Hey everyone! Grace and I are in a Christmas mood! Today I'm suggesting three songs from Steven Curtis Chapman's CD, 'The Music of Christmas.'
1. This Baby. I love the beginning of this song, the choir is so beautiful, then the music lightens up into a sweet telling of baby Jesus.
2. Going Home for Christmas. Grab your tissues. You'll need 'em. This song is so bittersweet. Joyful and heartbreaking, just like the birth of our Lord. This song makes me remember the people that I wish I could still spend Christmas with.
3. Angels We Have Heard on High. This is one of those Christmas songs that always pops into your head. It reminds me of the joy that encompassed the angels and shepherds. It's lively version of a much loved song.
Enjoy! ~Promise

Well, I Failed Again. ~Promise
I AM SO SORRY! Yes, I forgot Tuesday Tunes again. I'll make it up to you by doing a large music post. Let's go.
Today my 'Wednesday Tuesday Tunes' will focus on 5 of my favorite Tobymac songs, and there's even a few Grace might bring herself to enjoy.
1. Hold On this is an adorable song about Tobymac's wife. It's so encouraging and light hearted.
2. Changed Forever I love the lyrics in this song. I really don't see anything about this song anywhere and I think It's great. Also Nirva Ready's vocals, amiright?
3. Captured, remixed 'I'm your prisoner by choice I will rest at your feet, and I'll only lift my voice when you want me to sing...' Wow....The words are just beautiful. It's so deep and devoted. Love it.
4. Irene First off, I love the name Irene, and her story is sad and beautiful and hopeful and painful. I actually like the Latin flare of this song.
5. Get Back up Again This is such a positive song! When you're feeling down, this song is great to cheer you up. We've all fallen short, but God tells us to get back up again and keep trying.
Enjoy! ~Promise

Promise's 10 Favorite Things about Fall
Good morning, all! Welcome back to our tiny part of the Internet. Yes, I am aware that Fall started awhile back, but it hasn't felt like fall because it's been so warm! Now that it's finally cool, almost chilly outside, I'm making this list to celebrate!
1. My Mom's chili. I always look forward to cool weather, because cool weather means chili! Our whole family gobbles up chili during the Fall and Winter.
2. Scarves, boots, coats, and sweaters. I love Fall fashion. It's the season where I get to wear something other than shorts and graphic tees. My Dad's from Michigan, so he likes cool weather too. He and I get warm very easily, so no long sleeves until Fall. I love boots and bright, patterned scarves. They can make a basic outfit classy easily.
3. Hot drinks. As a type 1 diabetic I can't really drink sugary drinks because they spike your blood sugar too fast, but I do have a few drinks that I can still enjoy. Trim Healthy Mama has a cranberry wassail that i love, and it's sweetened with stevia. I love hot cocoa and coffee, and even more together. Tea is my other favorite drink. I have this french vanilla tea that's awesome, and I really like roobious (I'm guessing that's how you spell that...) and spearmint tea too.
4. This video by Adler Davidson. :)
5. Corn mazes. I love the thrill of getting completely lost, and finding your way out. It's like a giant puzzle, and super fun.
6. Thanksgiving. This is one of the only times I enjoy turkey. Honestly, my favorite thing is oyster stuffing. I love seafood, and this is one of the only times I get it. Thanksgiving is also a more positive time for me. I'm a pretty negative person, but it seems like around this time, people are a least a little kinder and more positive, and it rubs off on me.
7. Candy corn and those pumpkin thingies. Yes, I actually like these candies. Right now I'm avoiding sugar, but I'm probably going to splurge and eat a couple of these.
8. PEANUTS. No, not the food, the comic strip/ cartoons! My sibling and I are huge fans. I love the Peanuts Thanksgiving movie that airs on TV.
9. Being off from school-oh wait no I'm a homeschooler we don't do breaks...
10. Friends and Family. People are very important to me. I love doing things and getting together for things in the fall. It's a beautiful season to be close to people you love.
Hope you guys enjoyed! What are some of your favorite things about fall? Comment below. See you guys tomorrow for Tuesday Tunes! (Yes, I know I missed it last week.)

A Post for the Sake of a Post ~Promise
Hey everyone. A friend pointed out that I haven't posted anything but Tuesday Tunes for quite a while, so today I'll try to fix that. :)
I've had a lot of thoughts running through my mind lately. One being just how hard the teenage years are. You're basically lost, terrified, and depressed. You're surrounded by school and the pressure regarding grades, scholarships, college and tests. I know some people who enjoyed school, (namely my Mom) but I don't. It's all stress for me, especially math.
Next, relationships. You wonder if you're ever getting married or if anyone will ever love you. Friendships are a blessing and a curse at this age too because you're all stuck in the same lot. It's a curse because you're all confused. It's a blessing because you at least have people that understand.
There are a lot of temptations in the teenage years too. We have an over sexualized media in this day and age. It's never been easier to give in to temptation and fall into addiction. I know how hard it is. The good news is that you're not alone. It's common problem. Jesus offers forgiveness and grace. You might have made mistakes, but God won't hold you to them. You aren't a disgusting person if you've fallen into sin. You are an incredibly loved individual that has a wonderful future ahead.
Life might be hard right now, but things will always get better. God will walk with you.
Well...This turned into a strange post. I'll see you guys tomorrow. God bless! ~Promise
