I vividly remember the first big decision I had to make in life. I remember the tears streaming down my face, the overwhelming thoughts racing through my brain, the deep desire to honour God with this decision, and the utter inability to make sense of what to do. Up until this point, all my big … Read more
The first time I saw The Greatest Showman was during an 11 hour flight in the middle of the night. Despite the tiny airplane screen and headphones I couldn’t help but understand the craze over this movie score. The award winning-music danced through the dark.
