Music: Kings of Leon

Happy Tuesday Morning, dear blog readers.  Like I said in my post yesterday, I want to post more often.  Content may sometimes be trivial and length unintimidating and short ("OOOh good.  Finally!" you may be thinking).  Actually, that's sort of one of the side goals of posting more often- some shorter and more light hearted posts. 

Today, I'm sharing with you what I've been listening to as of late which, subsequently is also what's playing in my head.  It's the new Kings of Leon Mechanical Bull album.  I actually picked this bad boy up for $7 on black friday but couldn't decide whether I wanted to keep it or not.  After it sitting, unopened, in a target bag on the floor of my room for about a month and a half, I decided to just open the thing.  I had gotten one of the songs, Temple, as a free download from starbucks and really liked it.  I also listened to the rest of the album on Spotify to see if I actually wanted it and I liked the sound of most of the songs on there.  I will warn you that a few of them have some language in one or two parts, but other than that, I love the sound of this album.  It makes me want to take a roadtrip and have a dance party and know how to play guitar and sing along all at once.  It's pretty hard not to bob my head to these songs on my morning commute to work.
It's actually pretty hard to pick just one song to showcase but here's Temple which remains my favorite of this album. Mostly for its incredibly catchy qualities but it's got some alright lyrics too.

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

The tiny, solo roadtrip I didn't know I needed.

Sometimes when I'm in the mood to give back and post for once, I get frustrated that all I find on my camera roll are functional photos of lists or candles or dress colors or something wedding related. And I don't know about you, but at least the way I take my "reminder photos" is not artsy or glamorous and they don't make for great instagrams. If I instagrammed my "reminder pics", you would probably mistake me for a super awkward middle schooler or someone well seasoned in life (no offense, awkward and old people). My reminder photos are unfiltered, crooked, grainy and are meant for function only. Hopefully by now you get the picture (pun intended). To be analytical, that's the way my life has been lately. I haven't worked hard on a cool graphic design project or gone out and shot any amazing photos that I'm super proud of, or even spent time investing in relationships that I can recap with a nice post at the end of the day. The thing ab
