In Better Hands Now-Natalie grant

This song is so beautiful. We may miss our loved one's and we may be in pain, but we just have to give them and ourselves to Jesus. His are the best hands we could possibly be in.

If it were illegal...

Think about this for a second. If it were illegal to be a Jesus Freak, would you be convicted? If so, what evidence would the prosecutor have, either for or against your claim? Take a second look at your movie collection or just your mental list of favorite movies. Would they prosecutor use them as evidence of your claim to be a Jesus Freak or would they be used against you? What about those books on the table next to your bed? Would a casual observer just think that you were just a normal teenage girl reading trashy romance novels or would they see something different? And what about the music you listen to? Is that totally pure and God honoring? The Bible says in Philippians 4:8 "whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things." My point in asking these questions is simply this. If the world looked at you and your life, would they see something different? Would they see Jesus? Or would they just see the average?

Cry Holy-Sonic Flood

This video is great. The song is Praise and Worship and it's a good song. But what makes the video is the footage from all over the world. Very interesting.

An Ode to Oreos

Oh Oreos. How beautiful and tasty you are. Your luscious cream centers and your crunchy chocolate exteriors. How wonderful and tasty you are. I love you with your double-stuff centers. Oh, when I pick apart your layers and lick off the frosting I am transported to world's unknown. Oh Oreo, when shall I have the pleasure of eating you next? I am so lonely in the absence of you. Come back to me dear Oreo. Oreo there you are. I can eat you again and all is bliss.

I Love My Lips-VeggieTales

I love VeggieTales. And apparently Larry loves his lips.

The Earth

Scientists have known for about ten years that the earth hums. I mean literally makes a humming noise. Now they've found out that the earth has pitches and definite notes. In other words the Earth sings. Isn't that amazing? Our God is so great that even the earth itself must sing in praise to Him. That is how great and how mighty our God is. And yet he cares about us so much that he knows everything we do. Like he knew millions of years ago what you're thinking right now. He knew trillions and trillions and trillions of years ago that I would be writing this post and that you would be reading it. That's pretty cool.

Fearless-Building429

Awesome. We have to be fearless in telling others about God. We can't be weak and wishy-washy. We must be bold and courageous in Christ's power.

Noise

It's all around us. Everywhere we go. Telling us to think this and not that. Telling us that if we just buy or do this we'll finally be happy. I'm talking about noise. We have all this noise around us and yet we wonder why we can't hear God as loud as we used to. To relax and escape from the noise, most of us sit or lay somewhere and turn on the music. Think how irrational that is. To escape the noise, we turn on our own noise. Sometime we should sit for a while in silence and just listen. You may think that you have no time when you can just shut out everything and sit in silence, but I'll bet if you really look you'd find some time. And if you still can't ask God to help give you time. It will help you relax, sure, but most importantly, you'll probably find that your relationship with God improves if you do.

Listen-Trin-I-Tee 5:7

This song is so right. We need to just listen to God and not bother with what other people think

Here am I, send me

Isaiah 6:8 says "Whom shall I send and who will go for us? Then I said, here am I, send me."

Here am I, send me. Just five words, but they hold so much power and significance. Just five words, but how many of us are truly willing to say them and mean it? Saying them means surrendering your life to God. Telling Him that no matter where or when He says you are willing and ready to go and do. Totally and completely surrendering is not easy to d0, but look back over history and see what God can do with just ONE life totally and completely surrendered to Him.

Saying here am I, send me doesn't always mean going to deepest darkest Africa or to the Amazon jungles, though. Sometimes it just means telling that one girl in your third period class. Sometimes it means telling that one geeky kid who always sits by himself in the lunchroom tomorrow.

Will you say here am I, send me? Will you go for Him?

We Live-Superchick

I love this song because it reminds us to live life to it's fullest and love with all that we are, because we don't know what tomorrow will bring. Superchick is awesome too.

Bad news

I have some extremely bad news. Due to circumstances which are varied and uncontrollable this blog will be shutting down. There will be no more posts, ever. Thanks to all of you who have been my faithful readers. April fools. Gotcha.

Jesus Freak

We have all heard the term Jesus Freak. We hear the term all the time. Sometimes it's used as an insult, usually it gets weird looks from adults if you call yourself one. We hear it all the time, but do we ever stop to consider what it really means?

In the 1960s-'70s era it meant that you were a member of one of several fundamentalist groups of chiefly young people that emphasized intense personal devotion to Jesus Christ and the study of his teachings. At least that's what dictionary.com said. Anyway, today it means much the same thing. It means living a life totally and utterly devoted to Jesus. It means being sold out for Him and only Him. It means that you passionately love and serve Jesus with all that you are and have.

We can call ourselves Jesus Freaks, but next time you do, remember these definitions. We can call ourselves Jesus Freaks, but are we really?
