Barlowgirl

The other day I was searching out Christian book stores in my area and stumbled across a local one that is closing. This place has been open since I moved in. Everything was 40% off so of course I took advantage. I guess I was late though because when I headed straight back to the CD section all the really good stuff was taken. No nothing I was familiar with. Then I noticed a CD and book packaged together by Barlowgirl. USUALLY, I would be annoyed with the name alone and not even pick up the item but I remember hearing a song by them a year ago when Ali was still planning her trip to Austria... (she's coming back Tuesday by the way. The heavens rejoice!) and really loving it. So, seeing as how it was not even $10 anymore I bought it. And since then my CD player has been blasting this all girl Christian rock band... and loving it. I went to Michigan this weekend and read the whole book there and back. Soaked it up into my pores. Sometimes God gives you special gifts right? Well I feel like this was one of them. Reading that book I just kept thinking "this is gonna be me..." And then just praying and praying for the talents to get it done. AH! God is bigger. I keep saying it and every step I take into His unknown territory, I believe it more. His ways are not like the worlds. And that is a grand truth to remember.
So besides Barlowgirl, I can't get Leeland or David Crowder off my I-pod. I swear they are every other song. Good stuff.
Good to be home.
