Hi Jacqui–Thanks for being so honest. Its true, we never seek God more than when things are hard. Andrew is a friend and I'm glad his work buoyed you. I'll tell him so.

Tough choice!!

I'd either go with:

"Slumber" from NeedtoBreathe http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=QN_ze7QVYKg

or

"Best Day of Your Life" from Katie Herzig http://www.songlyrics.com/katie-herzig/best-day-of-your-life-lyrics/.

2011 was about surrendering…throwing up my hands, being okay with life coming as it will, & choosing to embrace all of it. And I discovered that on the side of surrender is life.

Mine is Kate Bush's This Woman's Work. A little over-used, but still appropriate. Great piece, by the way.

I love The Avett Brothers, Holly! I thought about picking "Head Full of Doubt/Road Full of Promise," too.

Thanks, Ian––that's great to hear. I have friends with older-than-20-something bodies who are more "Millennial" than I am; I'm just glad we can all listen to each other.

Honest answer: Holy Is the Lord by Andrew Peterson. I don't know why I resisted it – I actually spent some time trying to find another song to use instead. The line that keeps coming back is, "Even though you take him, still I ever will obey – but Maker of this mountain, please make another way."

2011 was hard. Do you ever seek God more than when things are hard?

Thanks Staci. Can't wait to hear it.

A charming little song by The Weepies called "Empty Your Hands" keeps reminding me to let trivial things go, like a bunch of red balloons.

By the way….looking forward to reading your book–it's next after the new Jeffrey Eugenides novel.

Happy New Year!

Staci
