Sunday Sounds - Laura Story

“You know what music is? God’s little reminder that there’s something else besides us in this universe–a harmonic connection between all living beings; every where; even the stars.” ~Wizard (character from the movie August Rush). When I found this quote, I thought: that's a truth.  This feature is my little reminder that it's not only organ and choir music in a chuch. I hope you get inspired or if faith isn't really your thing, I hope you just enjoy the music.

She won a Grammy this year, Laura Story (now that it's sunday anyway: confession from me to admit: love the name) with the song Blessings. And it is that song that touched me earlier this week. Or better said: it gave me a different look on things. Now, to be honest, I'm feeling good, not going through hard times or something. But (as everybody else) I've had my moments. And at some points, this song hits just the right strings for me.

Just give it a listen and bless you!

Thankful Thursday

It doesn't hurt anyone to remind yourself of how lucky you are and to be thankful for that. It's been a little while, my last Thankful post is about a month ago...good time for a wrap-up reminder of thankfulness!

• Besides neglecting my blog for a bit, I haven't been online (as in: social media) so much. Surprisingly: I'm very thankful for that! Because it means I've been busy living my life in the real world and I'm more than thankful for that (having a life in the first place). 
• On the other hand, I've had some thankful moments for living in the facebook, skype and sharing-era (I mean, let's be honest it does make connecting and working together easier!).
• Yesterday I had a happy-in-the-rain-moment: thankful for that of course!
• Thankful for my (mobile) phone: I've used the thing a lot last month, having good conversations.
• K-Love is my new radio-station (only able to listen to it through my computer or ipod-app, though because I live in The Netherlands (read: miles away from their homeland USA). Thankful!
• The beautiful sunny day we have today (and the last few weeks or so) really got me into spring-mood).
• My mother has reorganized the attic: finding memories is a fun thing (and I'm thankful for my mum to keep stuff).
• The luxury of a (very well) filled closet of clothes is also something to be thankful for.
