Not All Girls Like Pink

This month, we experienced a tremendous loss with the passing of a family member. My uncle Allan was a fun, loving and remarkable man who was taken from us too soon but will be forever remembered. Before he passed, we visited him in hospital and he shared that he was writing a song. He only had a few lines but he sang what he had and it got him through the scary days of test after test. A couple of weeks later, his condition worsened. I came home after a particularly tough hospital visit and sat in my living room praying. I had a feeling that this song needed to be written. It was to be our song which triumphed over death.

I did still flip through my bible every now and again hoping for a verse or maybe even just a word that would get me through another day.  So when I came across the word SEEK, I felt doomed. I thought to myself, "You mean I've got to get out of bed, and seek YOU? Like go out and FIND you? Aren't you like here already seeing me through this?  I worked myself into a right frenzy at the thought that God was going to pass me by or that He'd be hidden from me, His plans hidden from me because I didn't have the strength to seek. Didn't have the energy to sit and talk to Him. I laugh about this now as I finish hearing four back-to-back sermons from my pastor about

This band reminds me of something out of the 90s riot grrrl era! They are a relatively new punk rock band and some of their tracks have an edgy alternative rock or surf rock feel to. Their lyrics are pretty genius too and the lead singer Lydia Night's only 16!!

A great new find, I'm glad I stumbled into this river!

My playlist for the past few weeks has been looping tracks from Australian singer-songwriter Matt Corby. I've always loved his cover of The Black Keys - Lonely Boy but his 2016 releases are definitely levels up. Since it's a Monday, check out this track called Monday. :D
