Happy Sunday blog friends!

That’s right…Sunday brings round two of my “Seven for Sunday” lists.

Can I just say that I love my iPod? I got it for Christmas in 2009, and it’s definitely one of my favorite electronic toys. I’ve loaded it up mostly with some of my favorite praise and worship songs or Christian pop with a few other things mixed in. You’ll often find me blogging to the tunes of my iPod, because it helps to put me in the mood to think or attempt to be spiritually creative. Music has always been one of the ways I hear from God most clearly. So…for today’s Seven for Sunday, I thought I’d share a list of 7 of my favorite titles I’m currently listening to A LOT on my iPod. If you’re ever looking for some amazing praise and worship tunes, maybe this short list will give you a few ideas.

7 Amazing Tunes on My iPod:
1. Overcome by New Life Worship
2. I Stand Amazed by Aaron Keyes
3. How He Loves by the David Crowder Band
4. A Mighty Fortress by Christy Nockels
5. Nothing But the Blood by Matt Redman
6. Your Great Name by The People’s Church
7. To Know You – by Casting Crowns

Happy Saturday blog friends! Guess what today is? You got it – it’s January 15, meaning it’s time for us to choose our next scripture memory verse. For more information, read my January 1 post!

Before we post our 2nd verse for 2011, how’s it going so far? How did you do with your first verse? If it was too long and more difficult to memorize, you might choose a shorter one this time. Consistency is key friends…not the length of the verse. If you found you had it memorized in no time at all, then maybe you might like a little more of a challenge. I just love that we’re doing this together. I know that a LOT of you told me you were also doing this through Beth Moore’s Living Proof blog. Woohoo! I’m so tickled to hear that! I’d love to know what verse you’re doing on Siesta Beth’s site too, but if you only want to post once – no biggie! I’m just curious what verses everyone’s doing.

The verse I’m choosing this month literally jumped out at me at the beginning of the month! I can’t get away from it, so I’m sensing it’s the one God wants me tackle for this second half of the month. If you haven’t chosen a verse yet or feel the Lord nudging you towards a certain verse, you’re more than welcome to join me with this one. Be sure to write it down right away in your spiral, notebook, journal, or wherever you’re keeping up with your verses. Then…come back and post a comment here with your first name, city & state, the verse, reference, and translation. So…here we go…
