Review: Ghosts Upon the Earth

The hubs and I had the great pleasure of hosting

a small listening party this past Friday evening. 

We've been big fans of Gungor 

since the release of their "debut" album, Beautiful Things, 

in early 2010. 

This past week Gungor released their next album entitled

Ghosts Upon the Earth, 

for which we hosted this listening party. 

As I sat in my candlelit living room with close friends, 

sipping tea and listening closely to this new album from a band that I loved, 

my mind was blown like its never been blown before. 

Lyrically, this album is powerful, romantic, narrative and moving. 

Musically, it's hands down brilliant. 

It is intricate, mixing a variety of different rhythms and tempos 

and using a plethora of different instruments. 

All the while it weaves a beautiful story

and leads you place of unashamed worship. 

This album is wildly different from Beautiful Things, 

but it leaves nothing to be desired. 

I highly recommend that you purchase this album on iTunes, 

and give it a good listen, all the way once through,

with candles and tea, if possible.  

And just to vouch for the awesomeness

here's a video of the amazing song

When Death Dies: 

Mind blown yet? 


Your welcome.

Lyrical: Love Through Me | Jenny & Tyler

there is plenty on this earth to suit our needs

but there will never ever be enough to satisfy our greed
weigh this heavy on me now until i can hardly breathe
love through me
i've never gone a day without a meal because i couldn't afford it
stood on a corner and begged for pennies, holding out a sign
call me blessed, but it sure does feel pathetic,
children ‘round the world are hungry now

so would i give up:
pillows and cable, clothing and candy,
if a boy could rest his tired bones?
would i lay down:
making all this money, just to have my milk and honey,
if my fellow man could get the chance to watch his children grow?

there is plenty on this earth to suit our needs
but there will never ever be enough to satisfy our greed
weigh this heavy on me now until i can hardly breathe
love through me

i feel in the right, self-justified giving coins away
but what about the time i consider mine not tomorrow but right now today?
clothe the naked; feed the hungry; welcome strangers
come on, get up and open your eyes

so would i give up:
pillows and cable, clothing and candy,
if a girl could have some more to eat?
would i lay down:
making all this money, just to have my milk and honey,
if my fellow man could get the chance to hear about the King?

there is plenty on this earth to suit our needs
but there will never ever be enough to satisfy our greed
weigh this heavy on me now until i can hardly breathe
love through me

help us see, our eyes are weak, help us please
love through me

The Hubdate

Last week I posted about the hubs being sick and us not knowing what was wrong and being worried about it.

Well, now we know...

I lift my hands

The hubs has been quite sick this week. It's one of those weird types of sick, where we don't really know what's wrong. 
He's at the hospital right now having tests done. I have to be at work. I want to be at the hospital with him so badly.
The anxiety is big. 
But my GOD is BIGGER.  
I've been singing this song to myself for the last couple of days. 
And I'm going to keep singing it.

Paint the rainbow

I'm in a watercolor phase. 

They're just so wonderful to paint with; 

they're beautiful and not easy to mess up. 

Perfect for me. 

So, when my manager found these 

lovely white paper fans in a back closet, 

my Kinders and I went crazy with the water colors.
