Time to go home

It is the last day of my stay here in Ukraine. I loved it, but I am ready to go home. Morever I am ready to see my husband! I miss him so much and Wednesday I get to see him. It is a long long LONG trip back home - almost 3 days for me! But this song is on my mind...

... and I am feeling all romantic, because soon I will be kissing my husband's smile again - all  the way home! People on the plain, be prepared! :)
I am hoping there will be a lot of blogging, cooking, and recaping with family and friends when I get home!

Listen to this while looking at this

I discovered this amazing band for myself they are the most tender, dreamy, whimsical music!
I also discovered this dreamy artist. They match so perfectly!
So turn this on...
and scroll down to look at the artwork that matches the mood. So peasefull!

My King Is Alive!

Looking at photos of the sky that I took through a car window, on our way back from the trip I will tell about later, I couldn't help but sing in my head the amazing song by Natalie Grant - Alive.

ALIVE
Who but You
Could breathe and leave a trail of galaxies
And dream of me?

What kind of love
Is writing my story till the end
With Mercy's Pen?
Only You.

What kind of King
Would choose to wear a crown
that bleeds and scars
To win my heart.

What kind of Love
Tells me I'm the reson He can't stay
Inside the grave

You.
Is it You?
Standing here before my eyes
Every part of my heart cries.

Alive, Alive
Look what Mercy's overcome
Death has lost and Love has won!

Alive, Alive
Halleujah, Risen Lord
the only one i fall before

I am His
because He is
Alive.

Who could speak
and send the demons back from where they came
with just one name?

what other heart
would let itself be broken every time
until he healed mine?

you. only you
could turn my darkness into dawn
running right into your arms

alive, alive
Look what Mercy's overcome
Death has lost and Love has won!

alive, alive!
Halleujah, Risen Lord
the only one i fall before

i am His
because He is

emmanuel, the promised king
the baby who made angels sing
son of man who walked with us
healing, breathing in our dust

the author of all history
the answer to all mysteries
the lamb of God who rolled away
the stone in front of every grave.


alive, alive
Look what Mercy's overcome
Death has lost and Love has won!

Hallelujah

Music for summer traveling

I don't listen to the music all the time, but I think there is nothing better than flying on the plain when the whole world is underneeth you, or driving, when trees combine with fields in a blur and rain through a car window with good music softly ringing in your ears. For me a song is a good one, if I can imagine a movie or a slideshow with that song on the background. That way, it is as if you are already in your movie, if that makes sense at all...
So I can't be happier that i finally located my lovely iPad! Didn't need it much when I was in school, but now, I'm so glad it was peacefully laying in my camera bag.
So what I am doing now? Drinking hot tea (what can be better when it's so cool outside?) eating chocolate covered pomegranate, and loading these artists in my trusty friend:
- Adele
- Mumford and Sons
- Of Monsters and Men (my recent new love)
- Feist
- Birdy (that girl is amazing)

Like this...
 

This is what I consider traveling music. It's not aggressive or offensive, very creative, and simply beautiful!
