30 Days About Me- Day 1, My Favorite Song

For the month of August, I’m linking up with a sweet friend of mine, Toni, at Daily Dose of Toni to offer you, my fabulous bloggy readers 30 Days About Me.

Each day has a different assignment, and you’ll get to know a new little something about yours truly.
All the things about me you never knew you wanted to know!

Why do I like this idea? Why do I feel the need to share?
Because at the end of the day, whether we share a favorite song or movie or not, we’re not so different after all, you’ll see.

Let the fun begin!

Day One:
My Favorite Song
Ok, I have to give you two. That’s just how it is.

First, I LOVE the band Tenth Avenue North, and my all time favorite song by them is called Times. This became special to me over a year ago, when my husband was near death from malaria. While he was in the hospital, we listened to it often. It helped us both realize that life isn’t about being perfect, it’s about being imperfect and fully relying on Christ instead of ourselves. If it had been out about 15 years ago, I’m convinced it would have been my theme song.

Second is In My Life by The Beatles. It brings so many thoughts and memories to mind. My parents played it when we were kids, so I think of being a little girl. I also think of my own kids and husband. About five years ago, my brother got his first MacBook for Christmas, and he made a video on it of all of us being silly, with this song in the background. To this day, it makes me laugh to watch it, and aware that time has flown by.
It reminds me that things change, and that there are a few things as precious in our lives as the people we love.
