Oh, no... NOT me Monday

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

My NOT me WEEK


Nolan is NOT going through a serious “testing” stage right now and has NOT already lost his video game privileges for the entire week.


Reese on the other hand, has NOT been acting super sweet and cuddly all week.





I definitely did NOT realize that Reese loves bath time so much. As I turned around to get some towels, he did NOT decide to go ahead and start bath time on his own… fully clothed.






I was NOT terribly disappointed in my GPS when I was looking for a kid’s park onTuck Road and I ended up in a neighborhood…



on Tuck Lane (not even close. I am starting to think my GPS does this on purpose just for kicks.)




When I finally made it to the park, I was NOT totally jealous at what the kids have goin on these days…


3 story slides!




Rock climbing walls!



(Seriously, the best thing I remember having was a rusty see-saw and metal monkey bars fully equipped to give you the worst blisters ever… tons of fun.)





When Goosers isn’t home, I would definitely NOT have this for dinner and stay up until 3 in the morning watching horrible chick flicks.






Lastly, I do NOT want to thank Leslie and Katie for my blog makeover

(thanks y'all, love it!)



Happy Monday!! =)

Soul Food

I love music. I mean, who doesn’t right?

I listened to a lot of different types of music growing up: rock, pop, country (we will not discuss my Tupac phase). I sometimes like to reminisce with 90s groups and the big-hair 80s bands. I never really listened to a lot of Christian music (outside of church)… maybe a few songs here and there.

But I am beginning to realize how much music can affect me.

Music has a very rare quality.

The sound of voices and instruments melded together can reach places that other things simply can not. It can change your mood. It can make you angry, happy, sad, joyful, and sorrowful. It has the capacity to move you to tears.

A simple song can pull at a distant memory, a lost feeling, and for a moment you can relive the past.

When you are hurting, some music can definitely make you feel worse. But certain songs can uplift your spirit and breathe new life into a weary soul.


I believe this is one of the reasons God blessed our world with song.


That, of course, and as a way to praise Him… There is nothing like standing in a room full of hundreds of people singing worship songs. I realize now that the time before the message when the church is singing, isn’t just for fun. Music can speak to you on a level that a preacher can’t.


Although I am pretty new to the Christian music scene, I have found some groups that I really like; MercyMe, Casting Crowns, and Selah are awesome. (I would love any other recommendations)... I like everything from contemporary to gospel.


I love this song by needtobreathe...



I know I won't totally give up my love for good ol' rock and roll, but I do get the need for some soul music too...


How 'bout you?

Psalm 33:2-3:

2Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre;
Sing praises to Him with a harp of ten strings.
3Sing to Him a new song;
Play skillfully with a shout of joy.
