Continued Ramblings

I was originally going to make this an all out Christmas post. I know, it's not even Halloween yet lol. This is definitely been the earliest I have been in the Christmas spirit. I was listening to Christmas music towards the end of July and into August. This morning on my way home I was listening to Way-FM as I always do. The host, Wally, was doing the normal routine and they do something called a blog report. This morning they gave previews of the new Christmas music coming out. They played Francesca Battistelli, Jeremy Camp, Group 1 Crew, and Steven Curtis Chapman. Y'all I am so excited about it all!! The songs they played were REALLY good and ever since I have just been in full force Christmas spirit. I'm not a big Halloween person. I mean I like dressing up and taking Maddy trick-or-treating and all, but the holiday itself I do not like. I have listened to Christmas music on Pandora all day today and I think it will be from here on out Christmas music in my house lol. I don't want to overload this post with thousands of songs I like during the Christmas season,  so I am only going to do a few now and then maybe start back the song of the week posts. There are so many artists and songs to choose from that this is going to be a bit hard for me. I guess I will start with one of my most favorite albums. It's Point of Grace...A Christmas Story. I also really love their second Christmas album they did.

This is called When Love Came Down. It's a REALLY great song.

The next song of choice is Amy Grant's Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas. I love this song because it brings that Christmas feel. I envision sitting by the fire, hearing it crackle, sipping hot chocolate, and admiring the Christmas tree or just talking with family.

I will end with Bing Crosby, Santa Clause is Coming to Town. What can I say...I'm a sucker for the older Christmas songs lol. I mean Bing just screams Christmas!!!

I will most definitely be posting a weekly song post again because there are so many Christmas songs I want to share lol. I know you all probably don't care, but it's fun so I'm going with it!

Apart from my Christmas mood, I have had kind of a rough day. It wasn't 100% one of those days where everything I did was wrong, but in a way it felt like every turn I made I was getting a slap in the face. That devil is just never ending. I did receive a wonderful surprise today though. My mom offered to pick up anything I needed at the store today and bring to me. When she got here she came bearing gifts.

They are beautiful! The top one is Jesus Calling. It's a 365 day devotional and it's written as if Jesus Himself were talking to you. I have already read tonight's and it is JUST what I needed to hear. Having it written this way just seems so much more personal and I feel like Jesus is sitting right next to me saying the words to me. It's gonna be a great way to start the day or in some cases end the day. The second book is called My Daily. It's a devotional prayer book. I haven't looked at it yet, but it's kind of like Beth Moore's Praying God's Word.

I curled my hair yesterday for the first time in a long time. The curls had started to relax by this point because I changed shirts a few times and then my hair kept getting pulled on things. My hair hasn't been this long in forever. Here is the pic I took right after I finished curling:

The fact that my hair holds curls at all is amazing. I'm still loving my herstyler flat iron. I would never be able to do this with a curling iron.

We only have one more day until the weekend...THANK GOODNESS!!!! I think this is the last of my random ramblings. I hope you all have a great weekend!!!
