Music. It has a huge impact on our lives. Who you listen to now will change your life in future. I guarantee it. So here's a challenge: If you're always listening to secular music (non-christian) pick up some contemporary Christian tunes and load 'em up to your iPod. Listen to only Christian music for one week and then see how you've changed. After a week is up, you can go back to your old music. How does it feel to be listening to this music again? Maybe you'll find you actually like Christian better.
If you need some artists to get you started here's a list:
Superchick
BarlowGirl
Skillet
Addison Road
Newsboys
10 avenue north
Mandisa
Toby Mac
Francessca Badestelli
Will you take the challenge and be the one?

Change of Plans....
Wow, I am so sorry for not posting lately. I think I'm a spastic blogger. one second, I'll have 2 posts, the next I won't post for days. Even Months. It's quite pathetic. Anyway, I'm no longer going to be covering Song of Songs. I will just be writing what God puts on my heart.

Songs of Pure Love, Songs of Pure Passion
Read any part of Song of Songs and you can tell that Solomon and his bride are completely in a head-over-heels kid of love. This is a real, lasting, forever love that fairytale maidens can only dream of. They are so enthralled with each other! Nothing could ever come between these two lovebirds. Can you even begin to imagine the beauty of such a love? To me, it’s still unfathomable.
Song of Songs says “You have captured my heart, my sister, my bride; with one glance of your eyes; with one jewel of your necklace”. King Solomon’s Beloved has captured his heart- his whole being. He is all hers. Isn’t this all us girls could ever dream of? This guy, this wonderful man, wants to be all yours. He longs to look at you and be with you. He’d rather be beside you than anywhere else in the world.* You have his heart. You have his soul. You are his Queen. You are his angel. You are his and he is yours.
This is how our relationship should be and could be with God. Now before you tune me out (yes, I know you’ve heard this same thing before) think about this: Can you think of anyone who wants to be with you all the time? (Besides your pet J) Can you think of anyone who loves you so much that they would do literally anything for you, even if you’re in a bad mood? I can only think of one. God. He lives to hear your voice. He waits all day to hear you say “I love you”. He can and will do anything for you. He’ll protect you at all cost. He gave his life for you so you could be with him for ETERNITY! (Yes, FOREVER and EVER and EVER and EVER and…) His love for you was so powerful that he rose again just to prove his love and fulfill the prophecies! All he wants is you.
The call may be hard. The journey may be long. You won’t be alone, though at times it may be scary. It won’t be easy, but it WILL be worth. Do you want that deep, unfathomable love? Will you stand for Pure Love?
