Who Who Likes Country Music?

NOT ME! BUT... Ty does! Huh?!?! Oh how I wish blogger would give us an option to insert emojis.  I would insert the "sigh" and "eyerolling" emoji here.  LOL!  I captured this QUICK video, during the Summer, while Ty was working on his pre-AP Summer reading project. Darren and I are NOT country music fans, so when I get my hands on the weasel who introduced him to this music, I will squeeze AND hard.  LOL!  Just kidding.

Burn Away!

There are so many times that a song just really speaks to me.  Today, this happened.  I absolutely LOVE this song, "Burn Away", by Meredith Andrews.  I hope you do too.

"ONLY YOU, ONLY YOU!

ALL I NEED, LET NOTHING STAND IN BETWEEN US

MAKE ME YOURS

CONSUMING FIRE...

BURN AWAY, EVERYTHING THAT BREAKS YOUR HEART

EVERYTHING THAT IS NOT LOVE

PURIFY MY EVERY THOUGHT

TAKE AWAY EVERYTHING THAT COMES BETWEEN US

EVERYTHING THAT IS UNTRUE

JESUS MAKE ME MORE LIKE YOU

BURN AWAY!"

If ONLY that could be EVERYONE'S wants and desires this world would be such a better place.

You Make Beautiful Things!

I LOVE THIS SONG!  God makes beautiful things OUT of us.  We are the most unlovely creatures to walk this planet. Through the gift of the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ's death and resurrection, and our willingness to submit our lives to him through FULL obedience and faith, we are perceived beautiful and righteous in His eyes.  What a merciful and gracious gift!

The Way You Love Me!

This is probably ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONGS I have ever allowed my ears to hear.  I dedicate this song to two special people in my life, who have gone through so much "loss", but it's the way that HE loves.  He has "destroyed" their lives, so that "everything that meant ANYTHING to them is now gone!"  Giving them a much greater joy and hope in what really matters...HIM above/Christ.  Praying for Christ to reign in you both and hoping the "call" is heard loud and clear. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!  I LOVE YOU BOTH and I am constantly praying for you both!

The Way That You Love ME! (Lyrics)

This heart breaks slowly
Tell me what are you doing to me
When I prayed do what it takes
I didn’t know I’d lose everything
Everything that meant anything to me is gone
How could something so right go so wrong

It is the hurt that breaks me
And it’s the pain that pulls me to my knees
and the tears they’ve changed me
til what I couldn’t see
Becomes so clear to me
This is the way
The way that you love me

My way destroyed me
I couldn’t see I was my worst enemy
So you took away til my soul ached
And I knew that it was no mistake
That everything that meant anything to me was gone
Now something right has to come from this wrong

Chorus *love this part the MOST* (below)

You loved me so much that you let me
You let me fall knowing that I would loose it all and hear your call
You love me so much that you chase me
When I ran away you captured me by letting me run to the end of myself
To the end of myself and this is way you love

A Homemade Song - "Christmas O Eleven"

Christmas O Eleven

Darren used to love creating his own music "back in the days". I think he is rediscovering it now that our children are a little less dependent on US! Tonight, Darren, the kids, and I created a little Christmas song for all of our family and friends. We dedicate this to you all!!!!
