Studying about that good ol' way

And who shall wear the starry crown?

Good Lord show me the way!

O sisters let's go down

Let's go down, come on down

O sisters let's go down

Down in the river to pray

❤

(a song I have been singing, cherishing, and in awe over.  The astonishing history of it is as beautiful as the simplicity of the lyrics. It' has an undying, eternal flavor that is as the candle that never burns out. Learn + Listen )

Have you heard this song?
Do you pray outdoors?

There was this a-mazing Christian rally in D.C called Together.

It was a call, for all Christians who love their country, to come together, to pray, and to be united. It was a call for America to wake up and read the Bible.

And there was over 344,000 people who answered.

We came late (no surprise) just in time to hear David Crowder sing about 4 songs and get into a good hoe-down country groove.

We also heard a few speakers, which had amazing testimonies, such as Ravy Zacharias, etc. And Hillsong, Lecrae, Tedashi...plus a lot more Christian artist performed, but my favorite (also who me and my Dad weaved through the crowd to see up-close) was Lauren Daigle! *squee!* Her songs are the best, so full of spirit and voice, and God. Her talent is humongous.

Can I just say the girl sings as wonderfully rawly talented live as recorded.





After this excitement (okay, the whole day) it got HOT HOT HOT. I mean, on the National Mall where the sun is blazing and the humidity is ridiculous-in July-it's just bound to get hot. But then you have a hot day to add to that, and it's ah "scorcher" as we people say 'round here. Let me paraphrase...it was so extremely hot that the Emergency units were flooded with "heat related illness" and due to this the rally was shut down 5 hours before it was supposed to. They literally had a 'cooling station' which was to fire trucks spraying their water hoses.


Nevertheless.........I got a tan *winky laughy face*, and altogether a great experience to remember.




What are your '16 summer highlights?
Did you go to Together?
Have you heard of Lauren Daigle?
Did you ever get a sun-tan in a city?

Me and my family took a drive to a two hour Jesus Culture concert! My Brother and Dad were helping out with the World Vision sponsor children booth-which if you haven't heard of it you really should here-and we all had 'standing' tickets (if you know what I mean, comment below). However, Besides that, it was very fun, the music, instrument and vocals were just as great live as recorded, and the lights were energetic. My favorite song was Good, Good Father.

Hello Everyone. So I was very happy to see some of you gave me your thoughts on the survey, and for the results;...the majority of you said your favorite posts was updates from the author. Thank you!! Recently, I have painted my first my-style portrait, with my own drawing style and not the gloppy-painting style. My room is very summer-y, so this winter I just really wanted to make it look more like it was winter; hence the painting.

For Christmas, my parents gave me a ukulele! I have been learning some chords and trying to get the hang of it. My family is a very musical family, and just the other day my Dad posted his first song on Soundcloud, that he wrote after the shooting in San Bernardino California ( you can listen to it here).
My play, Clock of Victoria, is a work-in-progress and so far I've only collected a few things like costumes and makeup.


I have a very important announcement; Sea Fair is turning from a Novella to a Novel! With 31,000 words done, I only have 9,000 more words to go. I have learned some things in the process, one is not to push writing. Let it flow, and don't focus on making every sentence perfect. When I was pushing my writing, it sounded misshapen and I was making very little headway.
Just a brief update!
God Bless.

A few years ago, me and my Dad's youth band sang 'Carol of the Bells'. It's hard to sing so quick until you get the hang of it, but once you do it is enjoyable.  For some reason this video of the Muppets reminds me of us all singing! It's just a little cute clip, hope you get a chuckle.

Music...you have the world's music and then you have Christian Music. What is Christian music anyways? Inspiring, life-changing motivation to further your walk with God. What is the world's music? (Though there are some that aren't) useless music on evil subjects, driving you to sin. This is why, when you think on Christian music, and sing Christian music, you can feel God more, and obtain a better understanding of things.
My Brother, Josh, is a drummer, and a Christian-music enthusiast. So I told him that he should start a blog on music, and so he started the blog Music with a Message.
                                      


Go check it out and give him a follow-maybe even a comment (his first!!!). He's doing a Christmas song countdown, a song a day!

Hello everyone! Get ready for my new Christmas mini-series posts; which I will be starting off with today's special....(Drumity drum)....Christmas Songs! Christmas songs are wonderful melodies, warm cozy feelings and cute quaint tunes. When the house is all a-lighted, wreaths are hung across, and the sweet smell of eggnog floats in the air, Christmas songs just add the red cherry.


                                                   

Hello fellow blogeresses! The other day me and Josh (Oh, yes, that's my Brother) were jamming out to some tunes while I was typing in my writers nook. I heard Holly Starr's Don't Have Love song for the very first time! It has such a cool tune in the chorus, doesn't it? Here's a couple of my favorite songs lately, hope you enjoy!

Hey everyone! The music I've been listening to recently is dreamy Owl City. I notice in his older songs there is not really much for mentioning God in them, but the new album, Mobile Orchestra, has various songs with God in the lyrics. My Everything is definitely one of my favorite songs off the new album. Another recent favorite is Lauren Daigle's Trust in You. I put those songs on here, which one do you like best?



                                                        Lauren Daigle-Trust In You

Here's some tunes to brighten your (Hot) summer day!

Contemporary Christian music has really become popular over the years. It's almost like when I was younger and the amount of Organic groceries in the stores was pretty poor. Now, at the Giant our family shops at, there's a whole isle with Organic and natural type foods. Nowadays, there's a really big variety of Christian musicians, singers, and such. Some of my favorites are Jamie Grace, Francessca Batistelli, Britt Nicole, Lauren Daigle, Unspoken... just too name a few:). Here are some you might enjoy...

I know Christmas songs tend to stay stuck in your head past Christmas, so here's a few songs that might replace them. Start a Fire by Unspoken is really good. 

                                                         Start a Fire Unspoken

Hey everyone! Hope you enjoy these Christian Christmas songs....and fa la la la la!
