Holy Week is just around the corner.

We, as Christians, go through many emotions during this extremely special week. We go through confusion on Maundy Thursday when we take communion just as Jesus did with his disciples, gut-wrenching despair on Good Friday when Jesus was crucified. The sadness continues on Holy Saturday as we yearn for Jesus, and then. pure joy on Sunday when we celebrate His resurrection.

It's an incredible week.

I'm fortunate enough to work at a church where we have a worship service on every day during Holy Week, and you feel every emotion that people feel when you're sitting in the back, taking it all in.

Personally, Easter is my favorite holiday. And worshipping is my favorite thing to do.

I've composed a list of my top 12 favorite songs to sing on Easter Sunday. They're all powerful, no matter what tempo they're at. It doesn't matter if it's slow or fast, the message gets across, and I wanted to share it with all of you.

I feel in this day and age that we don't focus on our worshipping outside of church, and I definitely fall into that category. Sometimes I'm so busy with school and other commitments that I forget to dedicate just a little time singing to Jesus. As Psalm 95:1 says, "let us sing to the LORD, let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation." Praising God is one of the most important things we could do, and in this oh so special week of Holy Week, all I want to do is sing.

So without further ado, here are my top 12 favorite songs to sing on Easter:

1. "He Has Won" -- Vertical Church Band

2. "In Christ Alone" -- Passion

3. "Death Was Arrested" -- Northpoint

4. "Build Your Kingdom Here" -- Rend Collective

5. "Resurrecting" -- Elevation Worship

6. "Glorified" -- Jared Anderson

7. "Only Wanna Sing" -- Hillsong Young & Free

8. "Spirit of the Living God" -- Vertical Church Band

9. "Great I AM" -- New Life Worship

10. "Multiplied" -- NEEDTOBREATHE

11. "He is Jesus" -- Northpoint

12. "Fix My Eyes" -- For King and Country

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.
