Music and Favourites

I was just thinking about sharing some of my favorite songs with you today. Old or new, I love music and it's been one of the most influential parts of my life. There a lot of opinions about how the oldies were much better than music nowadays, but I totally disagree! I wasn't born in the 70's or 80's, but I've heard that music, and I like it! But I like some music now, too! And just because music now isn't the same style as the music back then doesn't mean it still doesn't rock! Sure, over time, we've added more base and technological stuff, but not every song is a winner. And you have that one song out of a million which can change a whole generation, and the whole feel of it. Sometimes we just have to respect certain things, even if we don't necessarily accept it. Stop bagging what you think as horrible music, because somebody else could love it. We all have different tastes in music, and our job is to simply respect their taste and move on. Without further ado, here is a list of my all time favorite songs:

1. Hallelujah-Jeff Buckley/Rufus Wainwright
2. Come Away with me-Norah Jones
3. Don't Know Why-Norah Jones
4. Dream a little Dream of me-Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong
5. Constellations-Jack Johnson
6. Banana Pancakes-Jack Johnson
7. Dream-Priscilla Ahn
8. Radioactive-Imagine Dragons
9. Demons-Imagine Dragons
10. For Good-Wicked
11. Defying Gravity-Wicked
12. To make you feel my Love-Mick Mauley and Winifred Horan
13. Paradise-Coldplay
14. Fix You-Coldplay
15. Say it Ain't So-Weezer
16. Snow-Red Hot Chili Peppers
17. Video Games-Lana Del Rey
18. Traveling Soldier-Dixie Chicks
19. Your Song-Ellie Goulding\
20. Animal-Neon Trees
21. Kiss me-Ed Sheeran
22. What a Wonderful World-Louis Armstrong/IZ rendition
23. On My Own-Les Miserables
24. Colors of the Wind-Pocahontas
25. Is this Love-Bob Marley
26. Livin' on a Prayer-Bon Jovi
27. Don't wanna miss a thing-Aerosmith
28. All About Your Heart-Mindy Gledhill
29. Anchor- Mindy Gledhill
30. Be Still, My Soul- hymn
31. How Great Thou Art- hymn
32. I won't Give up- Jason mraz
And that's it I think! I hope I didn't miss any...that would be embarrassing. I also have favorite classical pieces which can be found here: My Classical Faves

Consider the Lilies

Image
"Consider the Lilies How they Grow: they toil not, they spin not..." Luke 12:27 I want to share an experience I had today. This morning I woke up feeling sick and the rest of the day was just kind of blah. Sometimes I have days where I feel like I don't have a place in the world and I forget my value. And today was one of those days.  I got home and knelt down to pray to Heavenly Father. It's kind of one of those pleading prayers that you just really really need him to answer and you just want to know that he is there and listening. Well, during the prayer, I could feel comfort flood my body (also not the first time I have received his spirit like that). So I knew that was his initial connection to me to show me he was there, listening. And then I got an idea to go watch those Bible Videos that the church comes out with. I cannot describe the love I felt from Heavenly Father as I watched them. Every word Christ was saying was everything I needed to here.  ...

Spring Semester 2017

Image
After the mission, there comes a time in your life where everything starts to flow back together again. For me, that was the Spring semester of 2017. Just 4 months off of my mission. These times are crucial. I do remember how hard it was for me to find a job and how difficult the social scene was back at school. I was not only a weirdo around my friends (though somehow still the same) but dating was also a struggle. There's this idea (especially now in our culture) that every return missionary NEEDS to get married 6 months to a year after their missions. Now, I applaud those who can actually manage to make that work. So, in some weird way, I thought that dating would be fairly easy, right? Wrong. I actually managed to get zero dates fall semester. Was I doing anything wrong? At first, I thought yes. But what I learned from this experience of not dating was that the Lord placed me in the time that I needed to be with the people I needed to be for a reason. I needed to get th...

Having Confidence No Matter What

Guys, let's be honest, I don't think anyone (me most of all) has mastered this whole confidence thing. So I'm not writing this out of my own experience of having this amazing confidence, but what I have observed from other people and what I have learned as someone who grew up being not confident in herself. Well, I think everyone struggles or has struggled with confidence issues at one point or two in their lives. If you haven't, WHAT IS YOUR SECRET AND HOW DO YOU EVEN. I want to address two parts of confidence in yourself. 1. Having confidence in what you are capable of. Which brings me to this quote: "The quickest way to acquire self confidence is to do exactly what you are afraid to do."-Anonymous  I LOVE this quote because when I read it, I automatically thought of all the times in my life I wanted to do something, but I was too afraid of either rejection or it not working out or something. Our biggest problem, the reason why we aren't confide...
