I am just super ecstatic for Sunday. You don't even know. YOU. DON'T. EVEN. KNOW. Well, you're about to know. I will be so kind as to let you know. Just after furthering the suspense a bit more. Not that you're on the edge of your seat or anything. Nor should you be. You might fall off. And that would just be no good. No good at all. Oh, by the way! My lov-uh-lee friend Taylor and I did perform at that Valentine's dinner at our Church and here is a recording of how we did:
That was the first time I had ever performed and had to sing solo parts. We got a standing ovation!!! Okay, well, from people who have watched us grow up, but still, it was pretty exciting! Did not expect that! haha :)
Many people have asked me if Taylor and I are dating or like each other, and to clarify that, no.
He's a really great friend though. He and I have become closer recently and I think music has a lot to do with it. A month or so ago, we were at a lock-in at Church, and a small group of us were carrying on with music, and it felt like we all really connected. My dear friend Molly Lomax (who I've known for forever and love very much) had her guitar out strumming away, as Mr. Steve, Taylor, Johanna, Rachel and I all sang and praised the Lord together in the middle of the night. Drowsy and all. It was wonderful! Our voices blended together with some really cool harmonies.
And since then, the idea of a youth worship band developed... which in fact leads to why I was saying earlier that I am so excited. This Sunday, myself and a few others are getting together to work on some worship songs. I don't know how it'll go. It may be fantastic. It may be mediocre. Or it may be the most horrendous sound to have ever reached our ears. But what I do know - is that God doesn't care what it sounds like (though I certainly hope it's not the latter option)... and I also know it will be a lot of fun. So if you think about it, just keep our dreams of starting a worship band in your prayers.
ALSO, Sunday is a very exciting day for another reason. Some of my favourite people in the world (Ahem, their last name starts with a "G" and ends with a "rohmans") are coming over to stay for a week! I. cannot. wait.
:D
So life is looking up! :)
Oh, just so you know, if you type in "beccamcclanahan.com", it will lead you to this blog, thanks to my Uncle Jack, lol. He's so funny. Thank you, Uncle Jack xD
February 14th
Today is Valentine's day.
I have mixed thoughts about Valentine's day. One day a year is dedicated to showing someone you love them. One day a year, you buy a nice card and perhaps some roses and a box of chocolates. I realize that this might not be true for everyone, but for a lot, it is. Why just one day a year? I would want to show someone that I appreciate them EVERY DAY. I don't want to give them a gift on Valentine's day simply because it's Valentine's day and that's what you're "supposed to do". Which I feel like a lot of people do. This mostly goes out to people who are unhappily married or feeling down in their relationship, though it could apply to any sort of relationship really. To anyone who reads this that may be in that sort of predicament, I want to ask something of you today. On a day that isn't Valentine's day, do something special for a person you care about. Do something that you know they will like. Do it without complaining, without arguing, and without expecting anything in return. It doesn't have to be anything fancy. It can be as simple as ordering their favourite food and watching a tv program they like or telling them something kind. I just feel like many people fall into the habit of expecting the other person to do nice things for them and act certain ways, when they themselves aren't even doing that. It's easy to forget that everyone is imperfect. Examine yourself and your own actions and attitude and see if they line up with what you expect of others.
That is the end of my rant.
I hope that wasn't depressing, but rather encouraging or thought-provoking, or something positive! haha.
On a happier note, today IS Valentine's day, so I hope everyone (whether or not you have a Valentine) is having a wonderful day! I walked outside this morning, and it is absolutely beautiful! It makes me smile to think of all the fun things people could plan to do outdoors today :) I have a bit of a stomach ache, that I've had since yesterday, but that's not going to get me down, lol :) I went out to breakfast with my family this morning, so that was nice!
One of my best friends Billy and I did a cover of Ingrid Michaelson's You & I about a week ago, and it's a bit of a lovey dovey song, so I think it's appropriate to post on here today:
BTW, bunnies eat carrots and bounce around and stuff.
Haha, and we totally should have sung "how we play spoons like no one else".
Unfortunately, I did not think of that then xD
Also, I'm super excited for this coming Friday! I was asked to sing Lucky by Jason Mraz and Colbie Calliat at the Valentine's dinner at my Church with my good friend Taylor! He's pretty flippin' awesome, so it should be fun! As long as I don't get too nervous :x I'm mostly just excited though, because it's one of my favourite songs ever! :)
So wish me luck! ... singing Lucky... ahaha. (corny, I know)
