Fun Times via Instagram

I know I've mentioned that I love Instragram. One of the best things is that with Instagram I can give you a bunch of photos in one post about a bunch of different things.

Okay, so I could do that with any photos but at least with Instagram they look super cool. 

Last Saturday I went and saw Handel's Messiah performed live. It was amazing. Goose bump worthy, and totally exhilarating. I don't know how any one could hear the words, music, and life of those songs and not know how great, true, and magnificent God is. AMAZING. 

This is what I came downstairs to late one night. I flip on the dining room light and see this out of the corner of my eye. Seriously startling....and kinda deja vu  huh? 

Then my fabulous friend Anne bought me this to die for ring! Yes, it jingles, it's sparkly, and I love it tons! 

Then this Saturday I went shopping. I went to finish getting my Christmas gifts and ended up getting a few things for myself. These boots were on clearance for $20. I love them! Comfortable and perfect for the cold weather before the snow comes. 

And while I was looking for boots my sister talked me into getting myself these heels. They are actually quite comfortable. I feel like I scored! 

Then after shopping we all went out to eat at Bennigans. Yumm!!! Here you see sweet potato fries and a Turkey O'Toole. I ate almost all of it! It's very good Bennigan's isn't closure to us..... 

And that is my last week in Instagram, at least the really fun parts! 

More than a Christmas Classic

There is one song that is most often sung at Christmas that is so much more than just a carol or classic song. I don't even have words for how it makes me feel or what it means to me. It brings tears to my eyes and goose bumps all over every time I hear it without fail. I've had the pleasure and honor to perform it with a choir before and that was just amazing. I hope and think you might have some idea what song I'm talking about. 

The Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah 

It is one of the most beautiful and worshipful songs ever written. I can't even think of the words to describe it right now. This year I'm hoping I can hear it performed live. (Fingers crossed)  Last year around this time a video circulated Facebook of a flash mob performance of The Hallelujah Chorus in a mall. I found the video on YouTube and I am so excited to share it with you. If you don't hear the beauty, the worship, and get the goose bumps. I cannot even express how sorry I feel for you. 

Enjoy.
