He is We is She is Me is ...whaaat?

That's exactly how I felt when I first heard about the band He is We. But now I'm addicted. Thank goodness for beloved Pandora who lets me listen to them often. In case you haven't hopped on the bandwagon yet, let me introduce you to some of my favorites.

1. All About Us

2. And Run
3. Happily Ever After

4. Fall
5. Kiss It All Better
6. Blame it on the Rain

Ok, who am I kidding, I love them all.
My go-to Pandora station is a lovely mix of  He is We, Adele and Josh Turner. Love.

Check them out. Let me know what you think.
Love, Noelle

P.S. I'm looking for other songs/bands to fall in love with. I'm taking suggestions :)

God is Close to the Broken Hearted

I had the pleasure of attending a Paul Cardall concert last Friday. Let's just say it was amazing! If you haven't heard of him or don't know his story... this is a good place to start. Or just take a listen to the following masterpiece and fall in love. 

 He was born with essentially half of a heart and has struggled with that his entire life. He has a pretty cool story. While he was playing last night, there was a slide show in the back ground that had pictures or quotes on it. Lot's of them were about the heart, or hearts in general. One that stuck out to me was, "God is close to the brokenhearted."  I also liked this one by JFK, "We need men who can dream of things that never were and ask "why not?"
Claire and I ran over to a friends house the other day and on their door was a sign that said, "Why not?" I really liked that and decided to add it to my list of mottos.

Love, Noelle

O’er Moor and Fen, O’er Crag and Torrent, Till

Listen to this as you read :)


Hymn 97. Lead Kindly Light


I'm afraid I have never really appreciated this song until just recently. In my mind it was just that one hymn that had a bunch of funny one syllable words. Moor. Fen. Crag. What is this?
Recently, I have come to absolutely love this hymn and the message it contains. The third verse still kind of throws me off with it's funny words. One day I'll take the time to study those out and appreciate them. But not today, because today I am in love with the first two verses.

Lead, kindly Light, amid th'encircling gloom,
Lead Thou me on;
The night is dark, and I am far from home;
Lead Thou me on.
Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see
The distant scene one step enough for me.

  I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou
Shouldst lead me on;
I loved to choose and see my path; but now
Lead Thou me on.
I loved the garish day, and spite of fears,
Pride ruled my will: Remember not past years. 

I certainly am one who loves "to choose and see my path". I like to be in control, 

I like to make the calls. However, I am learning more and more each day that all 

I can do is keep moving forward one step and a time and trust that the Lord will 

"keep my feet" and lead me on.
