Time Flies When You're Having Fun

A year ago I posted my very first Song Of The Week. Looking back, I recall how nervous I was - this was quite a stretch for me - putting my personal thoughts and choices out there for anyone to see. That first post had no pictures or artwork, no links to bands or scripture verses, just a few words and a very fickle music player. I signed of with: "I am undeniably, outside of my comfort zone here - but am choosing to listen to the voice of Truth telling me that this is for God's glory...."

I considered several different songs and types of songs for this "anniversary" posting. For a couple of weeks now I was pretty sure that I was going with this selection. While reflecting on my experiences this year and thinking about how much this blog (and the blogger) has grown, the choice became clearer. And when I re-read that very first entry I knew without a doubt that I had the right song.

To mark the first year of SOTW, I chose "To God Alone" by Aaron Shust - the 2007 Dove Award winner for Song of the Year and New Artist of the Year. His song is a humble reminder that the smiles and tears, comfort and inspiration, enjoyment and learning that may have come out of the SOTW were not my doing. My thoughts and these great songs were presented in the hope of sharing God's strength and mercy.

Thank you all for taking this journey with me. Your support, comments and feedback have been amazing, please keep them coming. Its been a great ride, so far. I'll keep trying to be who He wants me to be and keep posting these songs for His glory....

Peace, Mark
