Song Of The Week
A couple years ago Brandon Heath Came out with a song called Wait And See, and it wasn't really my type of music that I enjoy listening to, but I don't know why, I just found this song really catchy and got excited whenever I heard it. I also love the message that it gives that God is never finished with you. He has lots of plans for you and even when you think you have got it, he has something even bigger in store for you. A lot of times we forget that God really does have a plan for us and if we just let him take control of our lives then everything will fall into place and he will provide many things for us to do. So here is the song of the week, Wait And See by Brandon Heath.-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJwlmb4V-0Y

Song Of The Week
Well, I have 11 more days of school left and hopefully when it's all over I will have more time to blog and therefore I will be more on top of posting a new song for each week. One of my favorite bands that lately I have sadly ignored is the band Relient K. I found a video I made on my computer the other day and forgot how awsome they are. So this weeks song is my favorite Relient K song of all time, it is called Who I Am Hates Who I've Been. The whole concept of the song can be confusing at first, but after you have listened to it as many times as i have, then It is easy to understand. Relient K has been known for their quirky lyrics and this is defienetly one of those songs. This song is basically looking back in retrospect onto something you have done in the past. You look back at the way you were then and your hating who you were. Sometimes this happens and all that we can say is, "God, thank you for loving me even when I did that and giving me a second chance and forgivinging me!" This is a truly wonderful song and i really encourage you to listen to it!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndod2trtpak
