Dare Dreamer Inspirational Music and Movies for Youth Project: Support the Movement
Umm…can I just make up my own category of music: Comedy rap for kids? I was tired hearing my kinder and elementary kids sing songs that were totally age inappropriate so I took matters into my own hands – positive rap for the younginās – call me Queen J. Love (I think – I just made that up right nowš
). I wrote and rapped this song āI Believe in Loveā for fun for my teen girls (they kept begging me to rap for themš) and they were jamminā and hyping me up so Iām going to look into producing it professionally for them. In the meantime hereās my homemade version… The theme is finding a higher love then what the world hypes up. Guess what? Youāre loved, by the One above K? Believe it…
.
āOnce upon a little girl, I had so many dreams – I wore my crown all day couldnāt tell me I wasnāt royal -tea, life was a fairytale my very own Disney movie- then I got tripped up by something that they call reality cause, I believed in love, one day my prince would come, I had my dress picked out and one day I would find the one. The way my parents fought though…Iām not sure thatās how itās done – what about a happy ending, what happened to the true love?ā Stay tuned for when I drop the official version of this song…š

Inspiring ENT: Jordin Sparks – “One Step at a Time”
Some time ago a friend introduced me to the song “One Step At A Time” by Jordin Sparks from her previous self-titled album. The song and video remind you that reaching your goal might take some time but not to be discouraged by disappointments. Other doors will open and you’ll reach where you’re meant to go in time if you get up and keep going.
“One step at a time, There’s no need to rush, It’s like learning to fly…”
Hurry up and wait
So close, but so far away
Everything that you’ve always dreamed of
Close enough for you to taste
But you just can’t touch
You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you’re gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you’re feeling more and more frustrated
And you’re getting all kind of impatient waiting
[Chorus:]
We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There’s no need to rush
It’s like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It’s gonna happen when it’s
Supposed to happen and we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time
You believe and you doubt
You’re confused, you got it all figured out
Everything that you always wished for
Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours
If they only knew

On Repeat: Music Pick and Inspiration – Hold Me Video & EP from Jamie Grace Harper
Iāve got the song “Hold Me” from Jamie Grace stuck in my head – it’s so upbeat, unique and catchy. For the past couple of weeks I’ve played it on repeat for the 1st and second grade girls who I teach at church, to get them focused on their art projects (and to stop talking about Justin Bieber:) and they love listening to it too as they sing along and color. Glad they appreciate great music:)…
TobyMac recently signed Jamie Grace to his label Gotee Records and her EP that was released in February is funky, soulful and creative – something I think anyone will enjoy. (You can preview the EP on her Facebook page here.) I got to see her in action at Women of Faith’s event for teens The Revolve Tour Dream On event in January (check out some pictures I took at the event) and her testimony and how focused she is at only 19-years-old is so inspiring. She shared her testimony of how God helped her to deal with a diagnosis of Tourette Syndrome when she was 11-years-old and how she started acting and playing music despite hardships and dealing with discovering who she was. She also shared her song āHold Me,ā and an original song dedicated to Revolve. Despite being her first time being on the Revolve stage she seemed like a seasoned pro and was really inspiring and relatable. Sheās an awesome inspiration to me on how God can launch you into your dreams if you trust, practice your craft and give all you do to Him.
I’ve been following Jamie Grace on Youtube since a few years back after I stumbled across one of her videos when I was randomly looking for a review of High School Musical 2 (don’t judge me, I was a bored college student;). I loved her videos talking about dealing with Tourettes and song covers she did with her guitar. Now she’s sharing her story and songs around the country; she’s really come a long way and I know this is only the beginning for the amazing places she’s going!

Love this song and creative video, Something in the Water, from Brooke Fraser…
Inspiring ENT: Fireflies – Owl City
Love the vibe and playfulness of the song and video “Fireflies” from Owl City, how Adam Young got started, and how he describes his inspiration in the video underneath:
“I’d like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns, slowly
It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay awake when I’m asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams…”
Adam Young describes the story behind his music:
