I decided to do the song Wedding Dress by Derek Webb this week. I have always loved this song, but I loved it even more after I listened to his CD “The House Show” where he did an intro that explained where the song came from. There is also a good explanation on YouTube, but this one is better in my opinion. I love his willingness to admit that he struggles with believing that Jesus really is all we need. In a world where no one is perfect, we are constantly let down by the people around us, so it is no wonder that believing we don’t need anything outside of the Lord, and He will not only provide but also unconditionally love us, is difficult for us to believe. Here is Derek Webb’s intro to the song:

Derek Webb also wrote this song about issues he has with the Church, and I share those feelings with him. However, the connection I had with the song is with my disbelief, and my lack of faith. I decided to record a very raw version – it’s just me and the guitar, and it’s the only take I did. I hope you all enjoy the song, and I’d love your feedback on this one!

Sarah Em FTW
Taking time off this blog may not have been the best idea – I have definitely become lazy. I just want to give you guys a quick update on what’s going on with me and I’m posting two Sarah McLachlan songs this week!
The relationship building is going well, and I have recently been reminded of what great friends I have been blessed with. I have started a French class for the summer and it is pretty intense. There is a lot of homework – to give you an idea, we are covering 10 chapters in 5 weeks. This means 2 Chapters a week including being tested on each chapter. Also, French is not a thing like Spanish outside of some things that simply make it more confusing to learn. Pronouncing the language has proved to be a huge challenge for me. Oh well, after this summer I will never have to study another foreign language if I don’t want to. Outside of the class I’m trying to keep things taken care of around the house, get some exercise, get the dogs out of the house as much as possible and spend some quality time with Zoe and Tristen. That usually includes Dawson’s Creek. Don’t judge me. Please. Read More »
