My Top 10 Fav Songs- February 2010

I was more in a rock mood lately.....here goes my list:

1. Hearts of Saints- Over and Over
I came across this song via HearItFirst.com. I have to say that I reallylike this song. It has a rock and pop fused mix that makes it catchy. I find myself singingit constantly.

2. Fireflight- For Those Who Wait
This is my song for the year! I play it all the time because it reminds me that I'm not the only one in this situation, going through what I am going through. The wait will be well worth it. The band is totally awesome. I can't wait to get their new CD.


3. Above the Golden State- I Am Loved
You can't go wrong with a feel good song that reminds you that you are loved. ATGS reminds me of the Californian beach bands.

4. Decfyer Down- Crash
I like the song and their sound. They remind me of Breaking Benjamin and Crossfade (an absolutely + in my book). I'm looking to hear more from them in the future.

5. Fireflight- Desperate
Another awesome song by Fireflight.

6. Day of Fire- Lately
Day of Fire is the Christian band I've been dreaming about: awesome voice, lyrics, head-banging songs, etc. I love them!

7. Newworldson- You Set the Rhythm
Newworldson is this awesome band that music sounds like a melting pot of everything good. The song is catchy and an honest confession of how since Jesus came into our hearts He has set the rhythm.

8. Brandon Heath- Love Never Fails
I know this is really cheesy but I would love this song as a first dance song. The song is pretty much 1 Corithinans 13 in a song. I love that its such a beautiful song but it still gets its message across.

9. North Point- It Is Well
Its a cover of the hymn. I love old hyms, they are the true honest statement of our emotions and feelings. The words were changed a little in the cover but the message is the same: through every situation, toil and snare; through the drama, good days, bad days, it is still well with our soul.

10. Needtobreathe- Don't Wait for Daylight
I saw an article about them and downloaded the song. I like their sound but the verdict is still out on the song.

Well, we'll see what next month inspires me to listen to. Be blessed.

Give Me Your Eyes

Every time I get on the train and sit down, I have to close my eyes or read a book. If I don't, I find myself staring at the different people on the train with me. I often wonder what their stories are, where they came from, what they are going through. I always used to hear that there's always someone out there less fortunate than you. What if I was staring right at them? What if the person sitting next to me needed something to eat, money to get home, etc.? How would I know? Would I help? Sometimes I feel like I think too much, that I need to keep my mind occupied so that I won't stress myself out. There's a song I heard a couple of days ago on the radio called "Give Me Your Eyes" by Brandon Heath. It had me thinking: what if we saw what God saw? Would we show compassion and love? Would we reach out to to those who are lost? Or would we be comfortable in our blinded state? I think to be honest a lot of us including myself; sometimes would chose the latter. We want to help, but sometimes it feels like too much; like they're too many people out there in need and not enough time and/or money. But if each one of us helped one person in need think about the difference it would make?! If we adopted a "Pay it Forward" mentality and each person helped the next person and so on and so on; without expecting a thing, what kind of world would this be?
