Celtic Thunder

Hey!! As you know, I have many different music tastes. Taylor Swift, a little of Keith Urban, Band Perry, which is Country, Owl City which is like pop and electric, and Francesca Battistelli, Britt Nicole, Superchick, and Mercy Me which is Christian Contemporary. Plus, I still love good old fashioned music. Such as hymns, folk songs, and classical songs.
 One of my very very very favorite I have not mentioned above is a more traditional, mix of genres. Most of the fans are pretty much adults because they sing more of the older songs. Some of their songs are originals, some are covers. Some are instrumentals, some are solos, and some are the various voices mixed together. With the operatic tenor, the dramatic bass, and all in between, they come together for a very unique sound. They sing familiar songs like "Puppy Love", and "Surfer Medley" which consists of "Surfing USA" and many other old surfing favorites. They have dramatic songs like "You Raise Me Up" and very fun songs like "Young Love".
  Below I have embedded some of my favorite songs that are up on youtube.

and here is a very funny one! :) If you watch this, you must watch it all the way through! :D

and here is a VERY amazing gorgeous song in Gaelic. This song is so touching and is just so gorgeous.

Thank you so much for reading!! Have a great day <3

From the Shepard's Point of View...

Hey! I found this on my best friend's blog. Her name is Sarah, and she's really awesome.  :D if you want to follow her, please click here. Thanks! :D These lyrics have helped me alot. She showed them to me while we were chatting, and they've really guided me. God is THE way. THE light. He is the only one who can save me from my sins, the only one who can keep me from death, the only one who can protect me from Satan. If you have the time, please read the rest of this post. It would really mean alot to me, and maybe it will help you too. God bless you <3

You were standing on the mountain, holding to the shepherds hand. The valley you’d just came through was hard to understand. Then the shepherd draws you closer, there’s something he wants you to see. And he points back to the valley, and unfolds it’s mystery.

As the eagles soar around you, and you look back on where you’ve been, one by one he answers questions that he did not answer then. He now shows you the danger of going your own way; all those roads you thought were better would have led your soul astray.

He reminds you of that moment when you could not make it through. Now you see one set of footprints where he reached down and carried you. As your tears fall on his shoulder and you thank him for his love, he says “Child, i knew that one day you’d see this valley from above.”

Things look different on a mountain from a Shepherd’s point of view, standing high above the trials that He brought you safely through. All the valleys, disappointments, will never look the same to you, for things look different on the mountain from the Shepherd’s point of view.

Dr Who, Owl City, Crocheting, and Hoe-Downs!

I love owls (DUH), Crocheting, and knitting! last week I finished this huge blanket I crocheted for a family who was adopting a little girl from China at my church. :D Now I'm Working on a blanket for my new baby cousin.

I went with my friend Gideon and her family :) it was alot of fun... here's some pictures (I didn't take these, they were taken by some photographers who go to Truett)

These are some couples I thought were really really cute :) Sadly, the family I went with wasn't in any of these,  so I couldn't post any of anything I did, but that's ok :D I still think there are really really cute.

I've also gone to Ridgecrest, NC recently for a weekend. It was beautiful, and very fall there. It was very cool and all the trees were beautiful and all colorful! Here are some of my favorite pictures I've taken....
