Some new favorites

I discovered a couple new favorite things in the last couple weeks (well some of them I rediscovered).

1. Alli Rogers- I saw her in concert a couple years ago, but I have rediscovered of her older songs. They are SO good- so much truth in them but also just great music.

Here is one of my faves right now "Who is this God"

All the way down, all the way down to where I fell
I stare at the ground, blood that I have spilled
But just to feed me you bend all the way down
All the way down to where I fell

Who is this God that loves me still?
This love that keeps me safe when I runSafe when I’m young and foolish

Out of the dark, out of the dark that hides my face
I’m coming apart when you say my name
With ties of love you lead me out of the dark
Out of the dark that hides my face

Who is this God that loves me still?This love that heals me when I am bound

When I am found and humble

With love you lead me
You bend to feed me
Taught me to walk
It was you all along

Who is this God that loves me still?
This love that finds me when I am lost

Although it cost you everything


2.
Hinds' Feet on High Places- I am reading this right now with my d-group (we call this segment of group story time). It is the story of "Much Afraid" and the transformation she experiences in her journey with the "Loving Shepherd." I am leading a group of senior girls so hopefully this book will be encouraging for them as they begin to experience a lot of changes in their life (I love it so far- so I hope they do too!)


3. Yogurt Mountain- might be one of the best discoveries of the semester. Apparently these yogurt places are the new thing but pretty much you can get a huge cup of yogurt (price based on the weight) and a plethora of toppings. It is both a delicious and delightful experience.
