Soul saving time... :-)
Song of the Day! 'Save Your Soul' by Jamie Cullum - I have loved this guy for years and I simply adore this song! The message is beautiful and the song itself is GREAT! I hope you enjoy it! Happy Friday!!
"Save Your Soul"
"Save Your Soul"
Know this, it's a universal truth
People let you down
So reach out for the things that you can use
Buried in the ground
I think I've been misunderstood
Not all my choices have been good
In the fading light
So we should put this one to bed
Before it bursts out of my head
Ready for the fight
So when it gets too late
And I find my place
Who will save your soul and love me here
So when it gets too far
Well let down your guard
Who will save your soul and love me here
Inside of another tiny life
Full of big ideas
It strikes me with the baggage left behind
I could dry those tears
All of my secrets they are free
Now watch them tumble out of me
Into better days
So save those homiletic tones
And conjure singing from the moans
And you'll hear me say
So when it gets too late
And I find my place
Who will save your soul and love me here
When it gets too far
Well let down your guard
Who will save your soul and love me here
So step away from castle walls
Those voices calling in the halls
They are moving on
So I'll keep my side of the street
Cleaner than where our pounding feet
Ever walked upon
So when it gets too late
And I find my place
Who will save your soul and love me here
When it gets too far
Well let down your guard
Who will save your soul and love me here
When it gets too late
And I find my place
Who will save your soul and love me here
When it gets too far
Well let down your guard
Who will save your soul and love me here
People let you down
So reach out for the things that you can use
Buried in the ground
I think I've been misunderstood
Not all my choices have been good
In the fading light
So we should put this one to bed
Before it bursts out of my head
Ready for the fight
So when it gets too late
And I find my place
Who will save your soul and love me here
So when it gets too far
Well let down your guard
Who will save your soul and love me here
Inside of another tiny life
Full of big ideas
It strikes me with the baggage left behind
I could dry those tears
All of my secrets they are free
Now watch them tumble out of me
Into better days
So save those homiletic tones
And conjure singing from the moans
And you'll hear me say
So when it gets too late
And I find my place
Who will save your soul and love me here
When it gets too far
Well let down your guard
Who will save your soul and love me here
So step away from castle walls
Those voices calling in the halls
They are moving on
So I'll keep my side of the street
Cleaner than where our pounding feet
Ever walked upon
So when it gets too late
And I find my place
Who will save your soul and love me here
When it gets too far
Well let down your guard
Who will save your soul and love me here
When it gets too late
And I find my place
Who will save your soul and love me here
When it gets too far
Well let down your guard
Who will save your soul and love me here

Waking Up
So, almost 2 weeks ago, I made the journey to Montreat, NC (just outside of Asheville) for a retreat that was destined to change my life. With my wonderfully supportive hubby beside me, I took deep breaths all the way up, knowing that life was about to change for good - after this retreat, things were never going to be the same again - and I knew it.
The retreat was called Giant Strides and it was conducted by an incredible channel for Love, named John Mark Stroud. (Please check out his website when you have a chance: http://www.onewhowakes.org) Several weeks before the retreat, John Mark asked me if I would perform my original music for the attendees throughout the retreat weekend. Before I even had a chance to second-guess myself, or wonder what I was getting myself into, I heard myself say, 'Yes! I'd be happy to!' Later, I asked John Mark how many songs he wanted me to perform, mistakenly thinking that he would just want 2 or 3, at most. I was in for quite a shock when he told me that there were going to be 6 segments to the retreat, and he wanted me to perform a song to both open and close the retreat.
Admittedly, I was a bit overwhelmed at first. However this very still, silent voice within just kept telling me, 'Do not worry, Jen, about how it's all going to come together - just trust that it will.' And, with that peaceful sense of knowing, my journey began.
Throughout the rest of the time leading up to the retreat, I (day by day, minute by minute) trusted that same sense of inner knowing. It led me to each song that needed/wanted to be shared and, step by step, it led me all the way to Montreat, NC for the retreat weekend itself.
When I arrived and finally met John Mark in person, I was blown away by the amount of love this man has to extend. Hugging him is, literally, like hugging Christ Himself! :-)
Throughout the entire weekend, I was uplifted, empowered, strengthened and gently split wide open. By the time we wrapped up that Sunday, NOTHING looked or felt the same! All I could see is the perfect Divine order of things and Love extending itself everywhere! Everything is different now and I am so blessed to have been part of such an incredible weekend.
Oh, and during the retreat, Tim also performed a killer magic show for everyone! He was a huge hit and, as always, I loved watching him win over the crowd!
This girl is one blessed - and grateful - little cookie!
Living and loving it, moment by moment,
~Jen

Love Never Fails - Brandon Heath
In response to ALL the things going on in this world of ours right now, I CHOOSE LOVE.
Love is what we ALL need - and, yes, this does include (perhaps even most of all) whomever we discover is responsible for the tragedy in Boston. I choose LOVE...
