Awaken

My friend, Veronica, put Sarah Reeves on my radar.  So glad she did!  When I looked her up on YouTube I randomly picked this particular song (maybe because it's Tuesday but for a lot of us it's "Monday" since yesterday was a holiday and I need to wake up! Haha!) and my youngest and I loved the song AND got a kick out of the video so it quickly became today's song for the day.  :) Oh you thought it was some sort of "scientific" method I used to pick a song each day?  Uh, yeah.  No!  :)
Anywho...
Sarah Reeves is a young, talented singer who has chosen to use her voice to worship the One who gave her the voice in the first place!  And she has red hair, a definite bonus in our home - ha!  But she has a sweet Alabama accent and a love for Jesus.  It's her love for God that makes her shine.  In our home we can think of no better way to thank and worship God than to use the gifts he has given us well and for him.  Sarah Reeves seems to fall into that category as well. 
Awaken is about waking up to the dreams God has planted in us, to awaken out of the dark and into the light that God has for us.  Have you been asleep?  Have you been lulled to sleep by voices of doubt, insecurity, intellectualism?  God wants to wake you up! :)

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment. 

More bang for your buck

This phrase was used a lot in 1953 but an earlier citation puts it at 1940 in a Metals and Plastics Publications advertisement. Read about it here . The phrase means you get more for your money.

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.
