Zippora Madhukar
This song was meant to be a surprise song for Timmy's 50th birthday, and we did manage to record it, but even though we did, there were a couple of changes to be made to my vocals, so I'm posting it today instead!

Oh How The Years Go By - Amy Grant Cover - Vocals Zippora Madhukar, Guitar Donan Murray
YouTube Video VVVUbkJXMjdQcW00cnJsSlZuTThaQWl3LjdGV1pZMDliU2xn
Sung to the original tune by Robert Harkness (composed in 1906), this hymn holds so much comfort in its' words and tune. It speaks of a God who will hold me fast (tight), and will not let me go. No matter who I am or what I have done, He will always be my Father. 

As we step into 2022, not knowing what is in store, we can rest in the knowledge that He will hold us close, and that we will never be alone.

From the Plainsong album -
Acoustic Guitar: Donan Murray
Electric Guitar: Elvis Gabriel

Lyrics:
When I fear my faith will fail,
Christ will hold me fast;
When the tempter would prevail,
He can hold me fast!

Refrain:
He will hold me fast,
He will hold me fast;
For my Savior loves me so,
He will hold me fast.

I could never keep my hold,
He must hold me fast;
For my love is often cold,
He must hold me fast.

I am precious in His sight,
He will hold me fast;
Those He saves are His delight,
He will hold me fast.

He'll not let my soul be lost,
Christ will hold me fast;
Bought by Him at such a cost,
He will hold me fast.
HE WILL HOLD ME FAST - acoustic. Zippora Madhukar, Donan Murray and Elvis Gabriel.

A #repost from a video we did a while ago. A huge thank you to Keith Peters, Jim Satya, and Ranjith Paul!

Just tried to add some Christmassy effects for a new look (Sorry, Prashanth!🙈) 

Christmas is coming! Thanks so much to these superstars for being a part of this video from aaaages ago. Also - apologies for the sound - we seem to have lost the original audio for this one. However, I just wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas 2021!  Hope you are all doing well. Christmas can be a difficult time for many - so please make sure you have a support group around you. 

Do subscribe to this channel. I will be putting out more videos soon :)

This is the second of the two songs we recorded in a spontaneous recording. This song is a favourite of so many kids I know including my own - thanks to Toy Story! I've been honored to have amazing friendships in my life - some of them spanning decades. I am thankful for each and every one of you - I don't want to take friendships for granted and I look forward to all that the years ahead have in store for us! 

It is thanks to friends of Timmy's and mine that I was even able to record this song: Thanks so much to Donan, for your beautiful, soulful guitar-playing. Thanks Sean, for all your help with recording and mixing and Mastering the song! Thanks again to Sudhin and Promusicals for allowing us to try out the Sontronics Sigma 2 Ribbon Microphone.

Hi, Zippora here!

Welcome to this blog/site. My aim is to use this one life I have, to offer whatever I can, to change the world around me in some way.

It;'s been a while! But just a reminder....keep it It;'s been a while! But just a reminder....keep it plain. I've been trying to focus on some other goals over the past few weeks. It's been quite fulfilling to be able to see that I CAN accomplish the things I set out to do. Now... To get back to de-cluttering. :)

Hi everyone! It’s a day late for Valentine's day Hi everyone! It’s a day late for Valentine's day, but never too late for love! Yes, yes, cheesy, I know! :p Here’s a song that I’ve loved ever since hearing Amy Grant’s 1994 House of Love album all those many years ago! 

Hope you enjoy this. A big thank you to @donanmurray for his beautiful guitar-playing and to @seanicphreak for helping to mix this.

Week 6. The 'Keep What You Love' book strikes aga Week 6.

The 'Keep What You Love' book strikes again!

Last week we went through our linen closets and de-cluttered and purged.

Keep it Plain: Week 5 I've had to ask myself this Keep it Plain: Week 5
I've had to ask myself this question again and again as we go through so much STUFF that we've collected over the years! Now, I know that lockdown may change the answer of the question above, but personally, I'm trying to be as strict as I can about what I keep. And whatever doesn't fit under that description HAS to find another home!

Keep it Plain: Week 4 My fear when putting up thes Keep it Plain: Week 4
My fear when putting up these pics was - will anyone see the difference?! 🙈😅😂

BUT - the most important thing is that the kids and I could see the difference. They're learning to put the books back in their place. Now that everything has it's own little corner, they can also choose the type books they want based on what they feel like reading. There's more info up on the blog on how I went about de-cluttering this shelf. 
Tag me in pics of YOUR organised bookshelves so I can get more ideas? Remember to keep life simple and plain :)
p.s. I wish I had different paper to line the shelves with, but I just went with what I had at home.

I am the queen of postponing things! This quote hit me hard... and it's so true. I'm starting with the things that really bother me in the house.

This week, our de-cluttering project couldn't be completed, so we're doing it over two weeks. The pic above may show what we're tackling! 

Hope everyone is staying safe and sound. Lots of love from us.

Week 2. This week we pulled out all our dusty CDs Week 2.
This week we pulled out all our dusty CDs and decided which ones we wanted to keep and which we just couldn't use anymore (they were really badly scratched etc). We had quite a huge collection of Audio CDs, but unfortunately we don’t really have a CD player anymore - only in the car. And there’s only so many CDs we can store in the car! So, we have worked out a way of storing the ones we want to keep - I’ll put it up in our weekly blog post tomorrow. ( New blog post every Friday).

You’re welcome to join us on this journey of de-cluttering. Let me know if you’d like the blog post emailed to you as soon as it’s live :)

Week 2 #keepitplain Last week we looked at declut Week 2 #keepitplain 
Last week we looked at decluttering electronic waste. This week we're going to look at cleaning out all the unnecessary old CDs that we have collected over the years. It's time to get with the times! Watch out for the blog post on Friday, which will have more details and ideas on de-cluttering CDs. 

The definition for 'plain' means - simple, unadorned and unpretentious - among others. The plan is to remove unnecessary items from my life this year - not for the sake of being 'minimalistic' but for the sake of living a better, more productive life. Do join me as I learn how to Keep it Plain this year :)

In the 2nd pic, you'll see the book from which I will be heavily borrowing this year to learn to declutter. I got it as a Christmas gift and it was the clincher to my thoughts on having a 'plain'er life this year. The book shows you a picture of things you may have at home and asks you simply : yes or no. It's upto you to decide if you love it or want to 'leave it'.

After releasing the #plainsong album this year, I've been really challenged to apply the "plain" aspect to all areas of my life. Do join me as I ponder on and try to take on this challenge in 2022. The songs, blog entries, lego photos, etc for this year will all be geared towards this. I do hope my posts and thoughts will be useful and challenging to you too!

What's your favourite line of this song? Just th What's your favourite line of this song?
 
Just thought I'd try this and see if anyone wants to do this along with us. You can see my 11 year old trying this out in the reel I've posted. You can start recording the reel after you've written half the line, if you think you won't be able to do it in 30 seconds!

I'm new to Insta reels, so do bear with me if I've got anything wrong!
Anyone can do this - your kids, your parents etc.. And try and make it 'Christmassy'. You don't have to do anything fancy, though 😁

Tag someone who would enjoy doing this? 

(p.s I apologise in advance for the quality of sound. Looks like the audio was compressed)

Ever walked out of a shop only to realise you haven't paid yet?? Oops! 

We love this 3 in 1 set SO much! The tiny details of the flower shop, as well as the toy store are just so beautiful. We will try and put up more pics soon. We're so grateful for generous friends who gave this to us.... We are truly blessed!

Tutu looks worried about the amount of work she needs to do!
This posts reflects our de-cluttering projects from last week and this week. Bed-linen closet and cleaning out the drawers of junk!

Thanks to @brickdesigned for the ideas on how to make the bed and the dressing table. Our 12 year old made the ones in the pic, using the tips from your account.

Uh Oh! What’s Tu-Tu so worried about? She’s helping her friend take care of the #superstore where you can buy different superpowers.... Batman also comes to help out. Swipe right to see why she's worried....

 This was actually supposed to be our entry for the #BC_KIOSKS challenge, but I realised that we took too long to do it, so we didn’t post it finally. :p However, I thought we could post it on our Insta profile at least :) Hope you like! We used the background from the @lego 'Make your own movie' book. What do you think?

When decluttering, you have to sometimes spring clean as well. Tu Tu helps clean our CDs while we sort them out. 

This week we're continuing our decluttering series called 'Keep it Plain' and we're focusing on whether to keep our CDs or let them go. We did end up having to get rid of quite a few of them. However, it was so great to find old CDs with old music or data CDs with photos etc. Our blog post will be up tomorrow with more details on decluttering CDs and DVDs.

As mentioned before, we are on the journey of de-cluttering this year, and our first task is to clear all our electronic waste. All those unused charges and wires need a new home! 😊
