I could really use a wish right now...

After a week of my computer being at the Mac Hospital...it is back home and healthier than ever! So sorry I haven't posted because of that...but here is a fun new song that I LOVE right now!

Airplanes by B.O.B. feat. Hayley Williams from Paramore

Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)

If you haven't heard it you should download it now!

"If I Die Young"

In honor of today's Country Music Marathon, here is a fun new Country artist you should check out! The Band Perry and their song (free on itunes) "If I Die Young". It's a great song and a fun new band!

Making my life something so Beautiful!

Don’t know how it is You looked at me
And saw the person that I could be
Awakening my heart
Breaking through the dark
Suddenly Your grace

Like sunlight burning at midnight
Making my life something so
Beautiful, beautiful
Mercy reaching to save me
All that I need
You are so
Beautiful, beautiful

Set the World on Fire

Thursdays mean Butts and Guts and Ugly Mugs...which I love! Our instructor, Kaylee is so great and loves Jesus too! She always prays for us after we work out and we always listen to Christian Music when we are cooling down. Today's song was "Set the World on Fire" by Britt Nicole and I absolutely love it! The lyrics look so similar to words I've written in my journal and just how my heart aches for the World to know the Joy of Jesus! I hope you enjoy them, as much as I do!



I wanna set the world on fire
Until it's burning bright for You
It's everything that I desire
Can I be the one You use?

I, I am small but
You, You are big enough
I, I am weak but
You, You are strong enough to
Take my dreams
Come and give them wings
Lord with You
Nothing I can not do
Nothing I cannot do

I wanna feed the hungry children
And reach across the farthest land
And tell the broken there is healing
And mercy in the Father's hands

I, I am small but
You, You are big enough
I, I am weak but
You, You are strong enough to
Take my dreams
Come and give them wings
Lord with You
Nothing I can not do
Nothing I cannot do

Christian Group of the Year?

Tomorrow is the 41st Annual Dove Awards for Christian Music. I'm super excited about going and hearing from some new artists as well as seeing some friends! I'm a little torn in this years group of the year category, as I like so many of groups! Here are the nominees:

Group of the Year
Casting Crowns
Gaither Vocal Band
Jars of Clay
NEEDTOBREATHE
Tenth Avenue North
Hezekiah Walker & LFC
Skillet

I love Casting Crowns' song Slow Fade on their newest CD, The Altar and the Door.
I of course love Jars of Clay and am cheering for them because of my sweet friends, Kristen & Matt Odmark.
I have a new love for NEEDTOBREATHE and their incredible new CD, The Outsiders. (And I secretly wish that Bo would fall in love with me!)
Tenth Avenue North is another favorite and I think that I could play the song "Times" on repeat all day long!
And I do like Hezekiah Walker for his great song "I Need You to Survive"

So who will it be to take home the award?...We shall find out tomorrow!

When A Heart Breaks

Loving this song today...I had to try hard to not play it on repeat the whole plane ride to Chicago and then again on the train into the city!

Woke up this morning

And I heard the news

I know the pain of a heart break

I don’t have answers and neither do you

I know the pain of a heart break

This isn’t easy

This isn’t clear

And you don’t need Jesus till you’re here

And then confusion and the doubts you have up and walk away

They walk away

When a heart breaks.

I heard the Doctor, but what did he say

I knew I was fine about this time yesterday

But I don’t need answers

Well I just need some peace

I just need someone, who could help me get some sleep

Who could help me get some sleep

This isn’t easy

This isn’t clear

And you don’t need Jesus till you’re here

And then confusion and the doubts you have up and walk away

They walk away

When a heart breaks.

I'll Find you There

"Lord You made me laugh
even when I felt like crying
Lord You made me sing
even when my heart was achin'
Lord, you let me hide in You
when the sky was ragin'
I know the sun always shines...after the rain"

Blessed are those who can forget...

"Blessed are those who can forget
All all those who haven't been hurt yet
I am damned, there's nothing I can do
Because I fell in love with you

Do I ever Cross your mind?
Do I ever Cross your Mind?
Cause I can't seem to get...
you outta mine

I want you to know, that I am not well
riding memories in circles on your carousel
you'll never miss me the way I miss you
cause the love of my life, is just a girl I once knew

Do I ever Cross your mind?
Do I ever Cross your mind?
Cause I can't seem to get...
you outta mine."

One in a Million

Do you remember Aaliyah? Today in the office we were reminiscing about Aaliyah and how great she was. And how sad it was to lose such great talent at such a young age. So today's throw back song is Aaliyah's One In A Million.

New James Bond Song?

After spending some time with my brothers over Easter my older brother Daniel pointed out how great Michael Buble's song Feeling Good is and how he thinks that it should be the next James Bond theme song...if you know anything about Bond, I think you'll agree!
Check it out...Here he is live:



Feeling Good - Michael Buble

Birds flying high
You know how I feel
Sun in the sky
You know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Fish in the sea
You know how I feel
River running free
You know how I feel
Blossom on a tree
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
That's what I mean
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me

Stars when you shine
You know how I feel
Scent of the pine
You know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me

And I'm feeling good

New Again

Thank you Jesus that we get to celebrate life with you each day because you died and rose and live in our hearts! My heart aches to be with you!

Mother - do not cry for me
All of this is exactly how it's supposed to be
I'm right here. Can you hear my voice?
My life, my love, my Lord....my baby boy

As they nail me to this tree
Just know my Father waits for me
God how can this be your will?
To have your son and my son killed?

Whatever happens...whatever you see...
Whatever your eyes tell you has become of me
This is not...
Not the end...
I am making all things new again

I remember when you were born
In that manger where I first held
You in my arms
So many miracles and lives you've changed
And this world repays you how?
With all this pain


Brad Paisley & Sara Evans - New Again
