Love and Chemistry

Something to ponder that I read in Jodi Picoult's book "Songs of the Humpback Whale."



Let me tell you a little something about love. It's different every time. It's nothing more than a chemical reaction, an arrow over an equation, but the elements change. The most fragile kind of love is that between a man and woman. Chemistry, again: if you introduce a new element, you never know how stable the orginal bond is. You may wind up with a new union, with something left behind. I believe that you can fall in love many times with many different people. However I don't think that you can fall in love the same way twice. One type of relationship may be steady. Another may be fire and brimstone. Who is to say if one of these is better than the other? The deciding factor is how it all fits together. Your love, I mean, and your life.

My Top 10 Fav Songs- August 2009

So I have been listening to a lot of different music this month. My mood changes with each day but I have kept a couple of songs constantly in play. Here they are:

1. Salvador- Now that I Have You

This song is so amazing! I’ve had the album for some time now and I tell you that when I played this song for the first time it ended up on replay all day.

2. Salvador- Shine

I started to play this song when my grandmother passed. She used to love light houses and every time I played this song I think of how she was a light and shined for us. I want to be a light that shines for others as well and this song explains how I feel.


3. Worth Dying For- Take Me

I took my friends iPod for a day and ended up playing this song all the time. It’s an amazing worship song; telling the Lord to take all of you because you want nothing left. It’s a powerful statement and a powerful song.

4. JudaCamp- It’s Alright

I like this song because it’s such a cool dance song. It’s alright to be crazy and dance like David. I am considering it for one of my dance groups. It makes me so excited when I hear it.

5. LaRue- Jaded

This song is very old. I like the concept of the song because it’s very real. They are acknowledging that the person they were with wasn’t for them; and its time to move on and let go.

6. Sanctus Real- Whatever You’re Doing

Love this song! It’s honest. I know how they feel; whatever God is doing inside of us feels horrible but there’s a peace in the midst of it. In the midst of God moving things around and it hurting, He’s still giving me peace.

7. Abandon Kansas- I Wonder If It’s Me

New band alert! I got this song as a free download from Gotee records. Love it! I haven’t found a band that sounds like this in a while. I like them a lot. I hope to add more songs from them in the near future.

8. Francesca Battistelli- It’s Your Life

I like that the concept of this song is the way God talks to us. It’s our life but we have to be mindful people are watching us. When we say we are Christians we are automatically thrown into a spotlight under a magnifying glass. We have to make sure our lifestyle echoes what we believe.

9. Flyleaf- All Around Me

I am surprised I didn’t add this song sooner. I love the way she sings (Christian Rock music is getting better). You have to hear this song if you haven’t already.

10. Fireflight- Brand New Day

I feel in love with this band when I first heard “Unbreakable”. After I got their album, I was hooked. It is an amazing song. We have to remember each day is a chance to start anew, to make a step towards or away from the life God has for us. We need to stop living in the past and live in Jesus.

I hope you guys liked this month’s selection. Be blessed.

That Still, Soft Voice

I think it’s hilarious when I hear people say that God doesn’t speak to them? When I asked them what they mean they literally mean they don’t hear God speak to them. I have learned that God speaks to us: through nature, our conscience and His word. He’s that still soft voice that encourages us, disciplines us, and keeps us alert. I have learned personally that God can speak to you in so many ways and using so many things. He could use a friend, stranger, or even a minister; He could use the clouds, tress, our dreams, anything. So when we say “speak to my heart Lord” make sure you are really listening and not expecting a big booming voice from heaven and the clouds opening up (believe me, I heard it all). I hope that this encourages someone. Be blessed.

What a Wonderful Day

Today was intercessory prayer, baptism and a youth concert: all a day’s work for a youth, lol. But really, prayer service was amazing (it always is), the baptism got me excited again to see that there are still people who have no problem making a statement for Jesus. The concert ended up being a worship experience; an amazing worship experience. I really thank God for His blessings in my life. I realize in this day and time, there aren’t a lot of youth that take a stand for God but to see the masses coming out of a remnant makes me so excited to be one of them. I was telling my cousin the other day that it’s so amazing how when I feel like I am about to throw in the towel the Lord speaks to me and reminds me to keep on the road I’m on. If you don’t believe God is speaking to you, I dare you to ask Him to reveal Himself to you and see what He can do.

Under Control

Darn these commercials! I am hooked to a song by Parachute called “Under Control”. It was the song in a Nivea commercial and I googled it. SMH. You would think I would know by now, lol. The song got to me though, I have been under control for so long with this situation, keeping my feelings inside and letting it eat away at me. I kept my distance from him because I didn’t want to be a stumbling block. I wanted it to move forward only if it was God’s will but I also avoided him a lot. I don’t regret it too much, I believe everything happens for a reason but I realize how I feel now that it’s spiraling out of control. Thank God for Jesus; I have been talking his ear off and it feels amazing.

Kristen Stewart-Robert Pattinson Spotted Kissing

"Kristen Stewart-Robert Pattinson Spotted Kissing"

New dating rumors about Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart after the Twilight stars are snapped making out at a Kings of Leon concert and getting cozy at Miku sushi restaurant in Vancouver.

I hope Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson start dating. Both of them would be so cute together :)

But we have no evidence sooo...... why do people assume just because Both of them Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson spend time together and they were close at a concert dont mean theyre dating.

I really hope Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson start though. And if they are, I hope they come out with it.

I LOVVEEEE Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson !
