I Have a New Favorite Song

I have found my new favorite song. Go ahead and click on the video, listen to it if you haven't heard it, and then read on.

This is a pretty popular song right now, I think (I don't know for sure because I'm in another country), so I'm sure many of you have heard it. But, out of all the songs on the planet, why is this my new favorite song EVER? For one simple reason: they're saying something every girl - and guy - needs to hear, but rarely does. How often is she (or he) told these things? Let's look closely at my favorite lyrics in the song:

I see you dressed in white

Every wrong made right

I see a rose in bloom

At the sight of you

Oh, so priceless

Irreplaceable, unmistakable, incomparable

Darling, it's beautiful

I see it all in you

Oh, so priceless

How often, really, do we hear this? How often do we tell people this? How many little kids grow up not knowing their worth? Even now, all grown up, how many of us don't know our worth? Let me tell you, no matter how much you weigh, how tall or short you are, no matter how old or young you are, you are priceless.

And that is what this song is reminding us (me). They're saying exactly what everyone should know, but few really do.

God made you specially. He looked at the earth and thought that we needed one of you. You are irreplaceable, unmistakable, incomparable, and you are priceless.

Grace's Corner of the World: A Few of my Favorite Bible Verses

Some of my very favorite Bible verses. “She is clothed in strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future.” -Proverbs 31:25 “The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name.” -Psalm 23:1-3 “ Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised. ” Proverbs 31:30 “Don’t be concerned about the outward beauty of fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes. You should clothe yourselves instead with the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God.” -1 Peter 3:3-4 “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he...

The Dual Character Inquisition Tag

Melissa Gravitis @ Quill Pen Writer has tagged me in The Dual Character Inquisition Tag! I'm so excited to participate. Thanks for tagging me, Melissa! I've decided to use Wolfe and Clio, my characters from Forsaken , as I've already told you a lot about Endings and his brothers. Here's a quick, rough blurb: Wolfe isn't a very good person, but he's on the right side in the raging civil war, and that's all that matters to him. Struggling with PTSD and drug and alcohol addictions, he forces himself to endure and keep fighting - whether fighting is what's best for him or not. All that matters is defeating Claudius and saving the people that Wolfe refuses to admit he cares about. Clio, Wolfe's best and closest friend since childhood, is desperate to convince him that not only is he worth saving, he CAN be saved, by the One and Only person that matters. Unfortunately, she hasn't yet realized that in trying to push Wolfe c...

Character Guest Post: Endings

Today, I’ve decided to do something a little different. If you want to see what inspired this idea, check out Melissa Gravitis’s Character Guest Post over at her blog . We’ll be getting to know one of my all-time favorite characters from the novel I am currently editing. His name is Endings, and he’s – how do I say this? – special . Thanks for joining me today, En. So, if I understand correctly, you and your brothers were cast from your home and forced to find your way back without the use of your powers, which were taken away from you at the time you were banished, right? Yeah. It was a rough time, and a lot of really bad stuff happened. Ever since then, I've changed. A lot. I don't think I'll ever be the same. So, where did you grow up? A palace floating in space. That's something you don't see everyday! Can you tell me more about this floating palace? Well, it's just kind of . . . there over Deerdren – the planet below. I do...
