Song & Verse: Loyal & Come Alive (Dry Bones) by Lauren Daigle

A word in season One of my early pastors used to say a lot about receiving a word in season. I can’t remember his exact quote, but the gist was that receiving a word for the season you’re in is invaluable and should be heeded. This morning I went to YouTube with the intent ofContinueContinue reading “Song & Verse: Loyal & Come Alive (Dry Bones) by Lauren Daigle”

Song & Verse: Piece by Piece

by Kelly Clarkson I first heard the last couple of bars of this song on an overhead speaker in a gym earlier this week. The emotion was so palpable, I had to find it and listen to it fully. The song pretty much says it all; nothing to add from me. Piece by Piece byContinueContinue reading “Song & Verse: Piece by Piece”

Song & Verse: HELLO by Adele

This song was on repeat as soon as I saw the release on my FB feed at 6am the day Adele greeted the world again in song. Love her. Love her voice. Love her expression of her life journey. That said, I just watched Joe Thomas cover Hello and that’s why this post is happening! (Click to check out some covers of Hello.)

SONG & VERSE: You Give Good Love

During a conversation with a friend earlier today, manipulators and controllers became a topic. I call it a spirit of manipulation and control since I know people from every area of my life who have submitted to it.

…then I watched three recent Beyoncé videos.

“What is your aspiration in life?” She takes nearly a minute to answer. There are shots of her falling into deep water (drowning?), siting backstage in despair, sitting nonchalantly on the floor at home in front of a massive collection of trophies and ribbons before getting up to smash the display. With tears welling and falling from one image of her, Beauty Contestant Beyonce says, “What is my aspiration in life? Well, my aspiration in life would be to be happy.” {Click to read article.}

A conversation and a song

We were still in the middle of a slow-moving line in a restaurant in Union Square. He began singing a beautiful song in his beautiful voice. Halfway through I began lip-syncing along with him. My heart was lifted and I believe he lifted the hearts of several people in the line also.

Song & Verse: ALL OF ME by John Legend

Recently, I heard John Legend sing his new single, All of Me, live on David Letterman. The song took me away. A beautiful and emotionally eloquent expression of love. I rewound my TV twice to hear the song again and again. I haven’t bought popular music in years – at least I can’t remember theContinueContinue reading “Song & Verse: ALL OF ME by John Legend”
