Sunshine Sunday: blessings through music



This week for Sunshine Sunday I will be sharing some music that has blessed me over the last couple of weeks. With our move, life has just been chaotic and sitting down to write for this week I put on some music to help me tune out what was going on around me and focus on my writing. God really blessed me through the music I was listening to, and in the end, instead of writing it all out I though I just would post a few that I listened to in hopes that it will bless you this week as well.
The first video I'm sharing is of the Ruppe Sisters singing It Is Well. We actually rehearsed this last night for our worship team to sing this Sunday. It gives me goose bumps every time I sing it. To learn more about these talented women, check out their website.
Next I decided to seek out some Phillips Craig and Dean... they're always good for some inspiring music. I stumbled across this video. This is another song we are rehearsing for in church. Its been a struggle to learn my part for this song so its been a love-hate relationship with this song. But seeing this video and seeing how awesome God and His creations are have given me a much better attitude towards this song.
This final song has brought a smile to my face over this past year. It has kept me grounded. I never realized how emotional buying a house is. Our family was definitely on a roller-coaster ride when praying about when to buy, where to buy, what house to buy. A number of houses fell through on us on our journey to the house we finally bought. One in particular really hurt. We were so sure that this was THE house. When we discovered it was not to be, I was crushed and we gave up our house search for a while. A couple of days later I was listening to this on K Love and didn't know whether to laugh, cry or both. Audio Adrenaline came on with their song Big House. I suddenly realized that although we were praying for a house that we never stopped to listen to what God might be trying to tell us. We were so loud with ourdemands prayers that we didn't take the time to listen to what God might be trying to tell us. This song reminded me that our earthly home is only temporary and the most awesome house of all is God's House and that's where we should be most focused. In the end we put our search on the back burner for a few months and after re-focusing we purchased a house we saw on our first day back on the hunt.
...until next week

That rendition of "It is well" just gives me goose bumps!!! I just love all of this music, Dani.
I have had sooo much fun leading "Big House" during music for children's church. Great song! Thank you, thank you for sharing this offering of "It Is Well"! I'm with Sue. My arms were covered in goose bumps. Thanks, Dani!
LOVED "It is Well"! Beautiful harmonies and voices.
Have a great week!
