My Mid-Evil Life, in a Medieval Time!

How would my life be in another era? First, I need to chose an era that I would want to live in. The first thought that immediately popped up in my mind was the Medieval era, a jaunty era known for its' nitty-gritty inventions created by savvy people. Hypothetically speaking, my life would begin as a normal peasant child, then I would grow to be a strong and astute soldier, and finally end impersonating a king to satisfy my heinous need for power.

Praise You In the Storm

Music is a very powerful way of expressing one's most inner and deep feelings. There are so many songs that can relate to each and everyone of the feelings one can think of, and they can all be expressed in an innumerable amount of ways. For example, if I'm in a joyful mood, I listen to music by Jesus Culture, like: "Where You Go I Go", "Happy Day", and "Your Love Never Fails". Though I like these songs, my favorite songs are those that bring hope, inspiration and peace to my soul. The song that does this is called, "Praise You in the Storm" by Casting Crowns.

"Praise You in the Storm" is a song that describes how a person is passing through a hard time in their life. It describes how he cries out for God's mercy and love. It enunciates that the person feels he can't hear God's response to his cry because the circumstances seem too difficult and only seem to get worse. The song expresses that even though sometimes one can fail and get frustrated by the situation, God gives them the strength to keep moving on. So they have learned to trust in God no matter how big or how difficult a problem may seem,, because they know that without God it will only get worse.

I chose this song because there have been many moments in my life when I've felt I don't have enough strength to overcome difficult situations that present themselves. Each time this happens, I decide to put my trust and faith in God. This I do hoping that God will come to my rescue and save me from the storm I'm in. Though sometimes I get impatient and lose that hope I had entrusted in God, I freely lay down my guns and listen to the song's message. Once the song begins playing, I feel an immediate sense of of hope and peace. I regain my strength and patience, and continue to wait for the time when God will extend his mercy and love over me, and free me from the situation I'm passing through.

To give an extremely short conclusion, if you ever feel you are alone, depressed, or just sad, and you need words of consolation, I urge you to listen to this song. I urge you to sing this song from the top of your lungs, and I promise that those negative feelings will cease to exist.

Being a Girl is F'awesome!

Ever wondered how a girl lives her day to day life? I've been asked to think, how I would be, if I were to live one day of my life as a human of the female specimen. I decided that I would first go to the beauty salon, then go shopping at the mall and finally spend some time with my girlfriends.
