Bjork

Thanks to Everett, I am now falling in love with Bjork.....she is A-MAZ-ING!!
I must get every single song/album she has ever created and go to one of her concerts.
It's a must before I die.

My music interests are starting to change. I am beginning to love "noise," as Everett calls it, and appreciate it. I know that as my music interests change, the style of my worship is going to change. I need to look up some new Christian indie bands, because I'm starting to get a little bit bored with worship. I believe it's vital that we as worship leaders/musicians become more creative as we grow in Christ, just as we do spiritually.

I need to learn guitar.
After I perfect keyboard.

Right now I just want to go to the church building and get on the keyboard and play with some crazy sounds. All for my Creator. He deserves the best, and the most creative. I'm not sure how I am going to incorporate it ["noise"] into worship--maybe the lock-in? That's always a good place to start. Mrs. Rosa is always receptive to new sounds, and doesn't care!

I'm probably going to write a couple of songs from some Psalms and get up with Royce and Rose, create something different. I would love for it to be Kevin, but he doesn't have his guitar right now.

Oh well.
How much more can I fall in love with music and God?
It's gettin' better every day.

Submission:

the condition of having submitted to control by someone or something else; "the union was brought into submission"; "his submission to the will of God"; meekness: the feeling of patient, submissive humbleness.

I have not yeilded my life in such a way that it could be considered submission.
I have not quietly rendered my life unto Him. I am still fighting in my head and heart to follow His pathway. It is imperative that I do so, and I can no longer fight it.

Lord, give me the strength to submit to Your will. Let me gladly blindly follow You.
I know You will not lead me into darkness, but You will carry me into the Light.
I submit myself and my will to You...quietly...meekly...patiently,
I submit.

Acoustic Ovation Was

WONDERFUL!!

I blew everyone (including myself) out of the water, and I can't wait to do it again.

I have so many things that I need to get done--STUDY, STUDY, STUDY!!!!

I probably won't be going to voice lessons tomorrow.

Let me get back to Trig...

Let It Die

This song by Feist is what I've been feeling today.

Let it die.

Let it die and get out of my mind

 We don't see eye to eye 
Or hear ear to ear 

Don't you wish that we could forget that kiss 
And see this for what it is 
That we're not in love 

The saddest part of a 

broken heart 
Isn't the ending so much as the start 

It was hard to tell just how 

I felt 
To not recognize myself 
I started to fade away 

And after all it won't take long to fall in love 
Now I know what I don't want 
I learned that with you 

The saddest part of a broken heart 
Isn't the ending so much as the start 

The tragedy starts from the very first spark 
Losing your mind for the sake of your heart 
The saddest part of a broken heart 
Isn't the ending so much as the start 

And The Lion Fell In Love With the Lamb

Jo   sent me some amazing b-day present ideas (since my b-day is March 15th):

What to chose?

I like the t-shirt the best.

This t-shirt refers to the cult followed book series by Stephenie Meyer.  Before the movie came out, it was doing pretty okay on the popularity side.  I would love to see how much money Meyers has made since the film was released--I'm sure it could feed a small country for several centuries.  Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating, but it's become very popular.  I remember when my sister and I first started reading the books--everyone thought we were crazy, reading books about vampires.  The only other people I knew reading the books were some highly depressed Emo kids.  But soon the fire caught on, and everyone knew how wonderfully romantic AND intriguing these books actually are.  I usually hate fantasy fiction, but Stephenie Meyers did a beautiful job of making her plot so realistic, I began questioning if some of my friends were werewolves--excuse me--shape shifters.  

I am so in love with Edward Cullen--but not as much as I am with Jake.  He is my hero.

=)

Long live Twilight.

Just A Lil' Acoustic Ovation Preview

I have been sick all day, so my voice is shot--but it'll sound grand on Saturday.

Psalm 112.WMA

Thought I Was Practicing Piano

Maybe not.

I've been listening to this awesome band called The Mae Shi.  They have a lot of religous themes in their music, and I enjoy listening to them.  I'm still trying to figure out exactly why they have a lot of religous themes and I need to watch a couple of interviews or something.  On their MySpace page they curse like crazy and they don't claim to be Christians on there either, so I won't call them that.

My favorite songs are probably "Pwnd" and "Kingdom Come."

I love music.

=) 

Now I'm off to rehearse for real.  It won't be for long due to the massive headache I have had all evening.

New Blog

So, I've decided to create a new blog;

I have a new life, a new goal, and a new mindset--I think the other blog kinda kept me down.

I'll blog more about things that happened to me that day, music, books, articles I've read, stuff like that.

I need a fresh page.

I'm off to practice for Acoustic Ovation.

Adios...
