Music Monday: Beautiful Things by Gungor

Back Story: This song is a song of inspiration. It is a reminder that everyday is a day to be hopeful and trust that we can start life over again. There is no reason to fear shame, for we are created beautiful. 

All this pain
I wonder if I'll ever find my way?
I wonder if my life could really change at all?
All this earth
Could all that is lost ever be found?
Could a garden come up from this ground at all?

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

All around
Hope is springing up from this old ground
Out of chaos life is being found in You

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us
Oh, you make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us
You make me new, You are making me new
You make me new, You are making me new
Making me new

You make beautiful things
(You make me new)
You make beautiful things out of the dust
(You are making me new, making me new)
You make beautiful things
(You make me new)
You make beautiful things out of us
(You are making me new, making me new)

Oh, you make beautiful things
(You make me new)
You make beautiful things out of the dust
(You are making me new, making me new)
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make me new, You are making me new
You make me new, You are making me new

Music Monday: Spirits by Hollow Wood

Back story: When I listen to this song, it is a reminder that we are created to do more than to pass away. We provided another beautiful soul into the world to do great things. The earth is not a cold dead place, it is alive, such as our spirits. A song of inspiration for what we have endured. 

If it were the spring time then I’d plant a garden
But winter‘s lasting long all this year
Up in the old pine trees Spirits whisper of disease
They’re the lost kids hoping to be free

But we’re not the children of all of your failures
We are part of a grand design
We seek the light with such cold hesitation
A fire barely burning with no fight

Will you forget my name when I am in the grave?
Will we all die alone?
All the spirits in my room the same ones that visit you
Will we all die alone?

Do you remember when I saw you in your bed?
Or the stars in your eyes?
Or the look on my face when I saw my numbered days?
Will we all die alone?

Break forth O’ morning give up all your glory 
There’s more than the pain in our eyes
To all who are mourning death can’t complete the story
There’s got to be more to our lives

Will you remember our faces with eternal damnation?
Will we float from our graves to the sky?
Until then I’ll keep my eyes shut
I'm not afraid to die but
For when we face death after life

Will you remember our faces with eternal damnation?
Will we float from our graves to the sky?
Until then I’ll keep my eyes shut
I'm not afraid to die but
For when we face death after life

Quote of the Week: Better Things Are Coming

“The very least you can do in your life is figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof.” 

― Barbara Kingsolver, Animal Dreams

Music Monday: When You're Gone by The Cranberries

"And in the day, everything's complex

There's nothing simple when I'm not around you

But I miss you, when you're gone

That is what I do, hey baby, baby

It's hard to carry on, that is what I do, hey baby"

Music Monday: In The End by Linkin Park

"It's so unreal

Didn't look out below

Watch the time go right out the window

Trying to hold on, but you didn't even know

I wasted it all just to watch you go

I kept everything inside

And even though I tried, it all fell apart

What it meant to me

Will eventually be a memory"
