i have decided.

i have decided, to follow Jesus.

yes, but i've also decided that i'm no longer going to be using this blog anymore. i started another one on tumblr because:

1. i like the layout

2. i like to be able to put high-res images up (even though i don't really have a camera...soonish i will get my hands on a dSLR :P)

3. it's simple, yet complicated

4. twitter/facebook integration (even though the latter is mooooot at the moment)

5. ohmylanta CSS! (IT FEELS LIKE HIGH SCHOOL AGAIN!!!!)

6. i've had the account for a while, but i just never got around to figuring out how to use it :P

fear of the Lord.

Do not let your heart envy sinners,

but live in fear of the Lord always.

[Proverbs 23:17]

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;

fools despise wisdom and instruction.

[Proverbs 1:7]

"The fear of the Lord is a state of mind in which one's own attitudes, will, feelings, deeds, and goals are exchanged for God's"

[MacArthur Study Bible commentary]

That is what it means to fear the Lord.

love.

Currently playing on iTunes: [All I Need Is You - Hillsong United]

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your ways, O Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.
[Psalm 19:14]

You hold the universe
You hold everyone on earth
...
all i need is You, Lord

These are my prayers for today

love.

the reason i sing.

I love to sing. No matter how many people's ears go deaf because of my horrible tone, I'll still do it. Most (if not all) of the songs I sing are about love. From other people or from God. I've never fought a spiritual battle unlike the one I've been fighting over the past couple months. To whomever that reads this, I ask that you pray that Satan won't get a hold of my life, especially since I am back at school.
My love for singing hasn't changed, but my heart doesn't feel the same anymore.

I heard this song tonight from one of my favorite artists, Jimmy Needham. Here's the chorus of the titled song, "The Reason I Sing."

Cause even accolades someday will fade away
Oh just like me
Yes everything but You, yeah
And many years from now it won't matter
How I write the rhymes I do, yeah
Help me get back to the reason I sing for You

Lord, help me get back to the reason I sing for You.

love.
