Pressing On

365 Day Project-Day 57-Mighty to Save

I was looking for a video of this song and came across this one.  Thought of my grandsons as I played it.  Love them and love this song. 

 

365 Day Project-Day 56-2CELLOS Cover "Smells Like Teen Spirit"

Fascinating duo who play amazing classical style cello, but who have become famous for their awesome covers of rock classics.  I got hooked on them through my love of Yo-Yo Ma.  Enjoy.

365 Day Project-Day 55-Lego House

Watched the Brit Awards 2012 tonight.  Heard this song and knew I had to share it here.  I look forward to hearing more from Ed Sheeran.

 

365 Day Project-Day 54-Grenade

I like Bruno Mars.  I like this version of this song, too.

 

365 Day Project-Day 53-Fado

Had a good workout tonight with the team.  Was thrilled to receive the Orange Hat for Team Spirit.  Never thought, when the year started, that I would be doing a half-marathon, but training with this team and for this cause has provided the motivation. 

Came home tonight and thought Clannad would be good to listen to while I stretched and wound down.   Love this song.  You can read the lyrics here.

 

365 Day Project-Day 52-Children of God

Watched Parenthood tonight.  It’s another show that makes me cry.  Sometimes they’re tears of joy, other times they’re tears of heartache.  Sometimes those tears happen in the same episode.  Tonight was one of those times.  Happy tears for Crosby.  Heartbreaking tears for Julia.  Whiplash.  It’s all good…

The whole adoption thing was what really got to me.  I have friends who are adopting a baby girl from China.  I’m SO excited. We’ve prayed them through their first two adoptions (domestic) and have been praying through this international adoption and to see it come to fruition has been a TRUE blessing!

I also have friends who are adopting a child from Ethiopia and am excited to see this process unfold. 

Add to that, my daughter and son-in-law are looking at adoption as well and I’m amazed and so excited by that.  They have been surrounded by friends who take their adoption into God’s family seriously and who want to live that out through adoption of babies who are in need of families who can love them and I stand amazed at that commitment and example lived out of God’s adoption of us into His family.  I marvel at it and praise God for it.  To see it lived out by my daughter and her husband can only make me praise God for His abundant grace.  I look forward to holding that special grandbaby that God gives us.

I wish I could express more eloquently my praise to God for what He is doing in the lives of these young families.  This song helps…

 

365 Day Project-Day 51-May It Be

I’ve written before about my love for The Lord of the Rings.  It was a nice weekend to watch the movies all over again, but also thinking that I need to read the books again, too.  If you haven’t read the books, then go away and read them… now.  You’ll thank me for it.  You will.

365 Day Project-Day 50-From the Inside Out

 

365 Day Project-Day 49-Safe & Sound

I’m looking forward to the Hunger Games.

365 Day Project-Day 48-The Finish Line

I forgot how much I like Train.  Love Pat Monahan’s voice.  Listening to their album, “Save Me, San Francisco”, I got caught up in this song.
