Being in the middle of student teaching is kind of like being in a trench during rapid enemy-fire. You don't have a lot of time to do anything else but survive.
So if you find yourself where I currently am, take heart and give Matthew Mayfield's new video "Take What I Can Get" a look and his incredible, raw, heart-reaching music a listen. I have loved his music since the beginning, when the music was known as "Moses Mayfield" - I am so glad that he has continued his music as a solo project. It is difficult to pick favorite songs of his, but this one is a close second to my ultimate favorite, "Element" --- Enjoy and keep on surviving!

Ellie Holcomb randomly came on my Pandora station the other day and it was a week-changer. Her recent EP Magnolias is based on Psalms --- here's my favorite so far. I love the rustic sound of her voice. 



Here is a collaboration she does with one of my other favorite artists Jillian Edwards--
