Music

We all have a niche for music of some kind or another somewhere within us.  The combination of music that each person loves will always be unique just to them.  It makes sense to me to think of it as their "music world".  I want to share (of what I have already come across) what music makes up my music world.

I love music.  Some songs, types, genres and artists I appreciate and others I don't favor as much.  I want to invite you into the world of music that moves me.  Some music I am drawn to because of it's melody, some because of the lyrics tied to it, and some because of the combination of the two. I want to start a category of posts to feature this music.  To be honest the idea sort of comes from someone else's blog.  She critiques a different piece of music every Monday but as I don't post consistently, mine's a little different.

My idea for this is that I highlight a specific piece of music for each post I do for this new category and just label them with Music. I'll still keep doing my random other postings I do but I'm going to start additionally having posts devoted to highlighting music that I really like and has moved me.

The artists or songs I highlight aren't going to be in order of favorite (since I don't have favorites and all of these are loosely my favorites).  I also regretfully feel the need to have a disclaimer that just because I highlight one piece of music from an artist doesn't mean I like or endorse every piece of music put out by them.

I'm excited about this, so I'll probably start soon but I thought I would take a post to explain my idea of this before I start doing it.  Enjoy!

Gap Year(s)

In my post about going back to school this fall and the favor I've seen in the process,  I said I would expound on why I'm glad I spent two years out of school.  Now I know I don't always follow up on things I say I'll write "more on later" but I am for this. Let me begin with my plans as a high school senior. In high school I had quite a few changes of plans regarding what I would do after word.  For a while, I planned to go to Ball State. That fell off the wagon for a few reasons that I can't remember now.  A local University was my next consideration, but something kept me from deciding to go for that full fledge.  The plan then became to go to a 6 month school at a Christian organization (more for personal growth than academic gain).  I prayed about that more and realized that I didn't actually feel like God was pointing me to that (although I'm sure if I had gone, it would have been great).  When I let that go, I didn't have a replace

Clear The Stage

This song was first brought to my attention a few months ago - when one of my biggest idols was being exposed for what it really was. Since I've been learning all along, but especially today, that vulnerability is something that should increase as you become more and more rooted in the Lord, I will be vulnerable with you here and now.  One of my biggest idols for about half of my life was liking guys.  And while it was specific guys that I would like, my idol was moreso just having someone to daydream, think, talk and pray about. I realize that liking somebody isn't sin in itself.  I actually think that romanctic love is one of the big ways that the Lord is glorified through our hearts as humans.  It became an idol though, because I allowed it to be my god.  I based my relationship with God on how my love life was.  When someone would ask me how I was, I would reply based on my relationship with the person I liked.  When I prayed, a majority of the content of my

Seasons: Right Now

As it has only been since last night that I wrote my first post in my new series, "Seasons", I don't necessarily have a whole lot more to say about my planning for the posts so I think I'm gonna dive right in. Something I like doing is sitting in coffee shops while I blog (VERRY original, I know).  I'm in one right now and have a Pumpkin Pie Chai on one side of the table and a Coconut Chocolate Chip Scone on the other (now you can be jealous of my overpriced and extremely unhealthy consumptions so far today).  This brings me to the first season I'm gonna talk about . . . . RIGHT NOW. Right now I'm 19 years old.  I'm about 3 1/2 months away from moving to Kansas City for at least six months to do an internship at the International House of Prayer.  I'm not a mom, not a wife and for sure don't have everything even close to figured out.  I would go so far as to say that I barely have anything figured out.  Now you're probably trying to fig
