Shoes and Church Music!

Why is Harper so happy today?
I mean she has got the Joy, Joy, Joy down in her heart!
Because this weekend we finally broke out shoes!!! I know what you are thinking........just now? She is 8 months old! Well, at first we stayed in all the time and she was so little - shoes seemed uncomfortable so I just kept her in socks. And then she had the great habit of chewing her feet constantly so it was useless to put anything on her feet plus it was hot summer in Arkansas - so we just went barefoot. But since Fall is now officially here - I put her in shoes and she LOVED them. This morning I was worried we might get pulled over by the fashion police for wearing white shoes after labor day (does that rule apply to babies?)........so we headed to Target to get a few new shoes for fall.
Really - why are you just now telling me about shoes? What else are you holding out on?
We got these little black sweet shoes that have the cutest bow!
and I love these in the fall colors. They are a little big.....but will hopefully be good for a few months! We are growing so fast!
Now wait until I tell her about jewelry!
Um - remember how we got to meet David Crowder and how we love him dearly???? Remember how I listened to him pretty much on a constant basis all through the hard (and good) times of my life and sometimes when I hear "You are my Joy" I just want to jump up and down because seriously I could just burst because God IS my joy. David Crowder and his band have the greatest songs. Well - his newest CD "Church Music" comes out tomorrow and let me tell you - it is GREAT!!!!
And I am just bouncing out of my seat because I have 10 copies to give away!!!!!! So leave me a comment - tell me your favorite DCB song or if you have never heard of him - let me know that - I'd love for someone who doesn't listen to Christian music or has never heard of David Crowder to win this! You have until tomorrow night at 7 p.m. central time to leave me a comment and then I'll list the winners and we will get you the CD's right out so you can start listening!!!
(I'm picking with a random number picker)
Tomorrow - I'm going to come back here and put the link to itunes where you can download the CD yourself and listen to previews of the songs! So come back and go visit!!!

Harper says "AHHHHHHHH.......I'm SO excited! I love David Crowder! And you will too!"


UPDATE:
I'm reading the comments and realizing so many of you have never heard of David Crowder so I'm going to put a few videos on here so you can hear some of my favorites - (I will say that his new CD is good but different than his normal stuff - so you may want to go to itunes and download "illumination" or "remedy" or "collision (so good)" first if you don't have any of his music).





(My VERY favorite)

I lost a son and his song " All That I Can Say" really pulled me out of the darkest time of my life.

I read your blog all the time. I have loved your story, your humor, your cute southern ways, etc. I LOVE DCB. I do not think I can pick a favorite. They are all so amazing! I hope I win - but if I don't I'll go buy it :)

Oh,I love "Wholly Yours" too! It is beautiful!!!!

I would LOVE a copy of the new David Crowder Band CD. My husband is an associate pastor and one of his responsibilities is youth ministry, and his birthday is coming up in three weeks, and this would be awesome to give him! We've started a contemporary service at our church (which at a Presbyterian Church is sort of a rare thing!), and our Praise Band has even sung a few DCB songs. It makes my husband SO happy when he hears our church band sing DCB!

My all time favorite song by DCB is "Rain Down" from "All I Can Say" (The version on "Remedy" is a remake) I do believe "All I Can Say" is DCB's first album and it holds a special place in my heart. I actually met David Crowder way back in 1998, when he still looked "normal" :) My youth pastor from middle and high school just happened to have been Dave's youth pastor in Texas, so before DCB got big and famous, they used to come play at events for us. I bought "All I Can Say" when they came with us to Florida in June 1998 (it's actually a version they recorded at University Baptist Church and sold themselves, prior to it being released on a label in July 1998, so mine looks different than the one you can buy now). He is such an amazing person and I feel blessed to have known him way back when.

I know I missed the contest, but I wanted to say that I do love DCB!! I also heart those black shoes you got for Harper! When I scrolled down to the picture the first thing that poped in my head was "stop it... those are too stinkin' cute!" I'm glad she's adjusting to the nursery these days! I hope it lasts.

How can I just come here to let you know I'm still praying for your family when you're having a giveaway and your comments are overflowing! And no, I haven't heard David Crowder before, either...
Know that you're always in my thoughts and prayers!
Psalm 32:6-8 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found : surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him. Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah. I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go : I will guide thee with mine eye.

I am so bummed that I missed this giveaway! I love DCB. My favorite song is "Revolutionary Love".

i asked the same questions about white after labor day for babies. I've decided it doesn't apply until much later because if it did my daughter would have to go barefoot and in a diaper until it got cool enough for fall clothes! love her new shoes...too cute!
