It's usually in those times, while singing my heart moves and I usually get a little teary (because, prayer in the form of music does that to me sometimes). ;)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18162208045999030991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377582441405318696.post-78193772798265711792015-01-06T15:24:10.192-05:002015-01-06T15:24:10.192-05:00Beautiful!
