New Year - New Song!


Happy New Year Friends! 

If you are new to The Mom Squad blog, welcome! 

I am so thankful for each new year that I get to see roll in. This means that God has given me the opportunity to spend more time with family and friends. Last year at this time, we selected one word for 2014 that we wanted to focus on throughout the whole year. My word was "move." Even though my home address did not move, the Lord moved in my life and my heart BIG TIME in 2014. 

I "gave up" a daughter, but I gained a wonderful son-in-law and a new granddaughter:

My older son found a beautiful girlfriend, started back to school and left "the nest." 

My younger son was able to receive his First Holy Communion.

Needless to say, 2014 held some big changes in this mom's life. Just like the psalmist in the scripture verse above, I am overwhelmed by all that God has done in my life and thankful for all the blessings I received.  I am ready to sing a new song--"sing" in the new year instead of "ring" in the new year!

Therefore, for 2015, I am going to choose a song that will be my "go to" song.  A song I can keep in my head and heart that will remind me that each day I wake up is a "good morning, a brand new day."  Yes, the song I am choosing for 2015 is "Good Morning" by Mandisa (featuring Toby Mac).   Here is a link to the official lyric video: 

"Good Morning" by Mandisa (feat. Toby Mac)

Honestly, the only music I want to listen to and sing anymore is music with a positive message.  That is why I love listening to 95.5 The Fish because I know I won't hear any lyrics that I or my younger son couldn't belt out in the shower or the car or anywhere! In my opinion, music is even mightier than just the written word because it is always running through your mind even when you don't realize it.    

What about you?  What will your song be for 2015?
