A Christmas good morning 

Its 8 o’clock in the morning and 41 degrees.  Its cloudy, windy and “…beginning to feel a lot like Christmas“.  I should be home, i should be underneath the sheets all nice and warm.

I am instead on a field where the wind blows just a little bit harder, the sweater doesn’t help as much and I am watching my 7 year old play soccer… I WOULD NOT HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY.

I thank you lord for being able to spend this time with my daughter.  I thank you lord for giving my daughter the spirit to try something new.  I thank you for this Christmas season.  In Jesus name, Amen – PJSLB

Christian Christmas Music Day 10 – Taylor Swift

***Until Christmas Day, I will be highlighting one song that defines Christmas for me and my family. Hopefully, some of these songs will be an inspiration to you and your family as well.

Day 10 – Taylor Swift – A country start that became the Pop icon

The Taylor Swift Holiday Collection Song – Silent Night

My family loves Taylor Swift.  Let me start by saying that we were Taylor Swift fans before Taylor Swift was Taylor Swift.  We have been fans since her country days and to be honest, there are times when we still listen to the “old songs” because Ms. Taylors voice and a guitar was just pure magic.  The same can be said with Taylor’s version of Silent Night.  It is such a change of pace (in a good way) to your traditional version of the song.  It was a song that we would listen to when we would be missing Georgia.

In 2014, my daughter and I had the chance of a lifetime to not only spend a night with Taylor Swift but also do so at the Mall of Asia Arena in Manila, Philippines.  My daughter had an absolute blast! This concert had a huge impact on my daughter.  Even now at the age of 10, my daughter still wears Keds, writes poems, short stories, and has journals because “…thats what Taylor use to do”.  Since the concert she also started joining the school choir and has participated in plays.  Never would have imagined that a concert would have such an impact on a 8 year old.  Taylor Swift’s  1989 album is my families soundtrack during our adventures in the Pacific and Asia for the last two years.  Believe me, Shake it off and Blank Space has been blasted in the Philippines, Japan, and Guam plenty of times! -PJSLB

Being at a place where you can pray in the open without fear is something we all should not take for granted. Its a beautiful thing to see this from the next generation. PJSLB

My daughter wrote a surprise note

My daughter who just turned 7 was proud to show what she wrote on the note app on her iPod. It was cute, it was sweet and I am 100 percent sure that it made the Lord smile.
