(It has been an extended time since I have written due to lack of computer and internet use!)

But now that I am back, I have wanted to start this new blog where I give you updates every month on what has been going on in my life, what music I have been listening to that has touched my heart and life, as well as movies, events, people, and etc. that have made an impact on me through this time period.

• The main movie so far that has spoken deeply to me is “Do You Believe?” My husband and I were an emotional wreck during the entirety of this movie and I highly recommend everyone go see it. This movie is all about your faith and what you do with it. For many of us we hide it so only certain people can see but the message of this movie is that the cross comes with a cost, and sometimes our faith and living for Christ is going to cost us. You may not be physically carrying around a cross with you everyday and every where you go, but are you externally and spiritually living that cross out in your daily life? Do you believe?
• On the list to go see is “War Room”.
• There are so many songs out right now that completely capture my heart and just make me want to raise my hands in the car while I’m driving to work. I have been listening to “Even So Come” by Kristian Stanfill, “Lift Your Head Your Weary Sinner” by Crowder, “Same Power” by Jeremy Camp, “Though You Slay Me” by Shane and Shane, “The Table” by Chris Tomlin, “Just Be Held” by Casting Crowns, “The World You Want” by Switchfoot, “We Are Yours” by I Am They, “No Longer Slaves” by Bethel Music, “Deliverer” by Matt Maher, and so many more! If you haven’t heard these yet you definitely need to check them out!
• The process to getting the EP Album completed is taking longer than I had originally expected, but I know and trust that it will be done in perfect timing. We have finished the music for all five tracks and now we are just waiting to complete the vocal, add some keyboard, and finalize the mix! If you have helped support financially you will soon be receiving a card in the mail in thanks for walking this journey with me! And very soon I will be sending out the rewards! I am beyond ready to share my story and music with all of you and pray that it touches your hearts and lives as it has mine!

That wraps it up for this months update! I love you all and am so grateful to have you as a part of my life and walk with Christ!

Yours Truly,

Tara Branstetter
