Throwback – Clearly Canadian

throwback A sudden reminder of the past

What ever happened to Clearly Canadian?  I loved that drink, it was one of my favorites. It was the best sparkling water that I have ever had.  I saw it in a store near my home a few years ago, but I can’t seem to find it now.  I am starting to think that they don’t make this product anymore.  If anyone knows where I can get it, please let me know.  Also, any suggestions for alternatives would be great.

Throwback – Big League Chew

throwback A sudden reminder of the past

Me and my childhood bestie, S, loved Big League chew.  I believe that grape was the fave.   You couldn’t just eat the gum piece by piece, but you had to grab a handful… so you could have as much as you wanted!  I love bubble gum so that was big deal to me…LOL

Worship Wednesday – Songs of Encouragement

I Just Wanna Say by Israel Houghton: …God has said,  Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you. Hebrews 13:5

Not Forgotten by Israel Houghton: … I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands… Isaiah 49: 15-16

Friend of God by Israel Houghton: Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.  You are My friends IF you DO whatever I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. John 15:13-15

How Great is Our God by Chris Tumlin: Praise the LORD, my soul. LORD my God, you are very great; you are clothed with splendor and majesty. 2 The LORD wraps himself in light as with a garment… Psalms 104: 1-2

Worship Wednesday – Songs for Easter Sunday

Lord You Are Awesome by Juanita Bynum: For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome… Deuteronomy 10:17

I Love You  by Shana Wilson: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.

O the Blood by Gateway Worship featuring Kari Jobe: … the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 1 John 1:7

Worthy – Michah Stampley flowing into Overcome by Micah Stampley And they overcame him (Satan) by the blood
of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony … Revelation 12:11

These songs focus on God’s love for us. Because he loved us so much, he sent his Son to die for us and save us.  Through that, we have the victory and we overcome every situation and circumstance.

Over the Weekend – Minute to Win It

This past weekend my husband and I met up with some of our couple friends and we played “Minute to Win It”.  I have to say that it was one of the most entertaining games nights that I have ever participated in.   We  laughed and cried laughing and overall just had a great time.  

Shout out to T & M for hosting. The games were very organized and the taco bar was a good idea.  Also, shouting out to Bro R for making the best looking plate of nachos ever!!!

Status of Songs that I am working

Here is the status of  songs that I am working on…

  • She Prays – Rough draft recorded, needs a little work and  a final mix
  • Everybody Praise – I have had a hard time finishing this song.  I am not sure why, but i’ve been working on it off and on for over a  year…so sad. Ad libs needs to be recorded; not sure if i want to add something different. we will see
Instrumentals are done for these songs:
  • Right Way
  • I Mean a Lot
  • Away in a Manger (obviously for a Christmas release :)
So I have tracks, but I’ve got a lot of work to do.  My goal is that “She Prays” will be finished before the Summer begins. I posted a snippet a while ago on  Facebook.  Here is a snippet in case you missed it – “She Prays

 

Currently Listening To…Freddy Washington

Just the other day,  I was inspired by EJ over at Gospel Pundit to go back and listen to some of the older tunes in my music library.  I am one of those people who downloads lots of music and then I forget that I have it.

One of the tracks that I overlooked was “Jesus” by Freddy Washington.  I am not sure why I dismissed it originally, but now I love it.  The song is very dramatic, with contemporary and gospel  flavors.  It  is an amazing song that talks about who Jesus is.

Check it out – “Jesus” by Freddy Washington and visit his website for a free download

It’s 2012

Happy New Year Everyone!!!! Of course I am super late with this post, but I was super late purchasing a calendar.  Below is a pic of the one that I chose.  I love it!

I had been looking at this calendar on Etsy for a while and I finally decided to make the purchase.   I purchased it from Girl In Gear Studio  and the “girl” does awesome work. It totally fits my day job. 

I am expecting a great year!!! 

My goals have been set

 I’ve already been booked for a corporate function

and

God is good…all the time. Have a great day!

Holiday Music to add to your Playlist

Here are a few holiday music suggestions that I wanted to share with you.  Some of these I had the pleasure of enjoying throughout the holiday season, but some will be new to my playlist this year.

Clark Family Christmas (album)- Some of the highlight songs include “O Come Emmanuel”, “Drummer Boy”, “Silent Night” and “Celebration”

Helen Baylor – Mary Did You Know (single) - Helen’s version is probably one of the best covers that I have heard.  I love it!!!  It has so much emotion and the arrangement is soooooooo nice.

Naturally 7 – Joy to the World (single) – This group is an acapella group very similar to Take 6, but their sound is different. They put a nice little twist on  the traditional “Joy to the World” that I am sure you would enjoy.

Aaron Lindsey – Coming Home For The Holidays (album) –  This cd is  a great mix of instrumental and vocal Christmas music.  If you have never heard of Aaron Lindsey, he is an awesome producer  and talented musician.  He has produced for  Israel Houghton, Martha Munizzi, Darwin Hobbs and more.

Mariah Carey – O Come All Ye Faithful/Hallelujah Chorus (single) – I will admit that I am a fan of  a few of Mariah Carey’s Christmas songs.  The woman has an amazing voice. But this particular song is one that she sings with her mother, who is an opera singer.  This song is so beautiful.  I could see a group of praise dancers doing a nice routine on this one.

Okay, let’s get to shopping folks!!! It’s time to go ahead and add something fresh to those Christmas playlists. Will you be putting new songs in your holiday music collection?
