Music Monday: Hold Me by Jamie Grace

If you’re looking for fun, upbeat Christian music (that even your kids will enjoy), you should definitely check out Jamie Grace. Today’s song, Hold Me, was my first introduction to her. I heard the song on the radio and had to pull up the Shazam app on my phone so I could figure out who was singing it. This is one of those songs you can blast real loud on a lazy Saturday morning for an impromptu dance party. But most importantly, it’s a wonderful reminder to tell God how much He means to us.

Is anyone else on the Jamie Grace bandwagon? If so, what’s your favorite song?

Let’s Dream Together

Remember as a kid how easy it was to dream the imaginable? The times when we really believed a towel would transform us into a super hero or when we thought we could be President? Somewhere along the way, we stop believing in the impossible. We get stuck in everyday life. Those big dreams get drowned out by the daily grind Or, they sit on the shelf covered up by clouds of what ifs, I can’ts and we don’ts.

But, what if we recaptured that spark? What if we kicked the life-sucking fears to the curb and turned a deaf ear to the negative voices that bind us to complacency?

sky's the limit

Whatever your dream, why not give this a try…

  1. Tell someone about it. Share your dream with your spouse, a friend, co-worker or the gas station attendant. You could even write it in the comments below.
  2. Recruit an accountability partner. Find someone who’ll encourage you on your journey—someone who can commit to checking on your progress. Naysayers need not apply.
  3. Take one step towards meeting your goal. Today. Don’t over think it. Just come up with one thing you can do in 10 minutes or less to get you on the path towards your goal. Then do the same thing tomorrow and the day after that, and the day after that…until before you know it, you’ve achieved your dream.
  4. Stay encouraged. Maybe you’ll be lucky and accomplish your goal in a matter of days. For the rest of us, what we’re doing is embarking on a journey. All good things take time and commitment.

So, right now.

Let’s dream big.
