I read it to my dad when I was in the 3rd grade, needless to say he'd always fall asleep while I read but still to this day I ask him
"Dad do you remember when I read that book to you called "Beauty"....you know the one you always fell asleep to while I read........YA that one, the one I cried to every night because the horse died"

Listen to--> " You"re The Love I Wanna Be In" by: Jason Aldean
Ok so here it is. The Blog that I stayed up working on all night because I am just so stinking excited to share with you my thoughts and feelings. I'm such a typical girl. Who wants the world to know how she feels and What better way to do so.... BLOG.
it helps keep me sane! ;)).
*******
FIRST: I need you to listen to this song before going any further...
********
Ok so my most FAVORITE thing to do on a daily basis is to sing in my car, EVERY morning I make it a point, to make my drive to school...from Plainview to Lubbock my worship time....Also Know As... my time spent talking to God and just embracing his love and presence.
GOD is Goood. All the time...AND Alll the Time. GOD is GOOD!
amen.
That being said, during this time every morning for the past several weeks....the same thought has come to mind . WE are emotional people and music really moves us and worship has such a way of moving us to understand that God loves us; he wants to surround us with presence; he wants to speak to us; he does that so much when we live a life of worship for him and throu him.
~ Sometimes when we've failed to live a life such as that (a life of worship for him and throu him) we tend to feel unworthy BUT what we need to realize is that people (WE) need to be ministered to NO matter where they are in life; whether they're doing amazingly OR whether they're not, people (WE) need the Lord; and I believe that worship is that. Worship is a connector. As girls (and guy readers too) we're very sensitive and if we can understand the love that God has for us, it would really help us to walk throu every situation that we have in our lives.
SO I CHALLENGE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU TO START MAKING IT A HABIT TO PENCIL IN TIME FOR WORSHIP;Let the Lord just wash over you & just be at peace.
Let it be a tool for you to connect with God. Let every song take you on a journey of helping you realize, WE are all in this together, WE are all going to walk throu things in our lives that are hard or difficult; OR that Gods asking us to lay something down or surrender something.
That's my prayer for you all; as you make time for worship, just to realize that God is so faithful and he's gunna always be right there, he'll sing his songs over us, he'll give us the strength and it's just life and we're all in this together, and most of all just to connect.

WHAT IS YOUR CHALLENGING STORY OR VICTORIOUS STORY??
-"You know God says he inhabits the praises of his people, so no matter what your walking throu, whether it's good or bad", I pray that this blog and the song you listened to at the beginning of this blog will minister to you and that it would encourage you to lift up your voice, WORSHIP, take a little time out of your crazy. tragic. sometimes almost magic. awful. beautiful. life. and sing praise to GOD. ;)
NOW,
Watch this video....
- i hope that, that video gave you goose bumps, brought tears to your eyes, made you get a lump in your throat, BUT most of all; I hope it blessed you as much as it did me.
-As much as Kari Jobe inspires me throu her music, she has also inspired me throu that video...
so here's the plan,
I need you guys to PLEASE: LEAVE A COMMENT with OR without your name, sharing with ME, WE, US, blog readers a short testimony of why YOU are "singing" just like the people did in Karis video did. Thank you all. Love you all so much. ;)

LAST but not least.
Here is my comment of why "I'm singing"
-God has restored me as a person, I no longer have unforgiveness/anger/bitterness in my heart and for that
"I'm singing". ;)
