Worship On Repeat

It's been a slow year for finding new artists that I love for some reason. Here's a list of worship tunes that I've had on repeat lately - in the background for studying, my devotions and just in general!

Forever - Passion

Love the amazing truth that they sing about throughout this. The verses are incredibly written!

Unstoppable God - Elevation Worship

Loving the simpleness of this song and the truth it proclaims!

Holy (Wedding Day) - The City Harmonic

The lyrics in this one give me shivers every. single. time.

Great Are You Lord - All Sons and Daughters

This chorus though... seriously can't get enough

Drops in the Ocean - Hawk Nelson

A little more upbeat than the rest - I love the perspective it takes!        

Honest Faith

Two songs this week.

They may not be extremely uplifting, but I love their honesty. 

Honesty is a beautiful thing, especially when you're honest about where you're at faith wise.

Song: Through the Fire

Artist: Hawk Nelson ft. Mike Donehey (Tenth Ave. North)

Song: You Must Be Here

Artist: Paper Candle

Thankfulness

My Bible Study and I had a "50 Days of Thankfulness" event where we wrote down one thing a day that we were thankful for for 50 days. It was so great that we did it twice - once around Thanksgiving and another time in the new year. I love taking a few seconds out of my day to focus on being thankful. I think that we get caught up in focusing on "me me me" in our society rather than on God. This is a small way to counter that.

Here are a list of what I have been thankful for these past few days. I hope this list inspires you to write your own!

- Springtime sunshine
- Laughing with friends
- Peanut Butter and Chocolate ice cream
- Finishing a midterm
- Checking off lots of things on my to-do list
- Skype dates with friends



p.s. you can listen to Hawk Nelson's new CD (coming out April 2nd) all week here! Check it out - it's awesome!

Words with Impact

Here are a few quotes/snippets of lyrics that have greatly impacted me over the past few days!

They've made me feel like a prisoner
They've made me feel set free
They've made me feel like a criminal
Made me feel like a king
They've lifted my heart
To places I'd never been
And they've dragged me down
Back to where I began
Words can build you up
Words can break you down
Start a fire in your heart or
Put it out

-Words by Hawk Nelson

Sometimes it's hard to keep believing
In what you can't see
That everything happens for a reason
Even the worst life brings
If you're reaching for an answer
And you don't know what to pray
Just open up the pages
Let His word be your strength

And hold on to the promises
 Hold on to the promises
 Jesus is alive so hold tight
Hold on to the promises

-Promises by Sanctus Real
