For all my high school girls! I miss you all TONS and everytime I hear this song, it takes me back to our days of chasing "Miles From Home" across the state (errrr, Wabash?!)! I love you all dearly and think of you often! XOXOXOXO!

WONDERLAND
After an amazing Mother's Day getaway to New York City, I came out with another Broadway show to add to my list of favorites! "Wonderland" wasn't one of the shows that we initially planned to see, but after eliminating some, due to time constraints, we decided on the Alice in Wonderland spin off! It was GREAT! Here's a quick clip of some of the show! Enjoy!

Love
Although Fleetwood Mac is an old favorite in my book, Santana's rendition of "Songbird" this week on Glee made me rethink my loyalty to Fleetwood Mac. I love this song and I love Naya Rivera's sultry take on it!
For you, my love!
For you, my love!

Music in May
So, my brother did a month of blogging with pictures. I thought I'd do my own spin on this. Music is such a huge part of my life. There are certain albums I can listen to repeatedly and never get tired of them. There are certain artists I've listened to for years and their music still resonates with me. There are songs that take me back to middle school and songs that help me reflect on certain memories. My plan is to post a song each day...a "song of the day" if you will!
I read this today when searching for this song:
The Script taught me how to move on.
Greenday taught me that government's gonna fail someday.
Bruno Mars taught me to do anything for that one person I love.
Eminem taught me that life is hard but you can make it through.
Taylor Swift taught me not every guy is going to treat me right.
30 Seconds to Mars taught me to speak whats on my mind.
Michael Jackson taught me to always love the people around me.
Music taught me to live
Enjoy!

Beautiful Disaster
I'm a mess. I'm nothing and have nothing: make something of me! You can do it; you've got what it takes God. Psalm 40:17 (Msg)
Jesus warned us that we’d have problems in the world. No one is immune to pain or insulated from suffering, and no one gets to skate through life problem-free. Life is a series of problems. Every time you solve one, another one is waiting to take its place.
Your most profound and intimate experiences of worship will likely be in your darkest days -- when your heart is broken, when you feel abandoned, when you’re out of options, when the pain is great, and you turn to God alone. It is during suffering that we learn to pray our most authentic, heart-felt, honest-to-God prayers. When in pain, we don’t have the energy for superficial prayers.
Joni Eareckson Tada notes, “When life is rosy, we may slide by with knowing about Jesus, with imitating him and quoting him and speaking of him. But only in suffering will we know Jesus.” We learn things about God in suffering that we can’t learn any other way.
Problems force us to look to God and depend on him instead of ourselves. Paul testified to this benefit: “We felt we were doomed to die and saw how powerless we were to help ourselves; but that was good, for then we put everything into the hands of God, who alone could save us ….” (2 Corinthians 1:9 LB) You’ll never know that God is all you need until God is all you’ve got.

If only it was this easy...
I just wish my kids had had more time with my grandma. Wouldn't it be nice if we really could just visit heaven for a day?
