Música

i love music.

a lot.

and those who know me, know that i almost *always* have music playing/earbuds in my ears.
(which i'm sure gets a little irritating when people are talking to me and realize 5 minutes later that i haven't heard a word they're saying cuz my earbuds were in :P )

but lately, God's been doing a lot in my heart as far as what i'm putting in my ears.

i tend to have a very wide range of "music appreciation" and sometimes, i forget that the lyrics (as catchy as they are), are NOT helping my mind or my walk with God.

now i'm not one of those ppls who just listens to songs cuz they've got a "catchy tune". if i fall in love w/ a song, it's because of the lyrics. and lately... i've found some songs w/ really REALLY amazing lyrics.... but i've also found many songs w/ not-so-amazing lyrics.

i tend to make the excuse that i'm only listening to those "other" songs when i'm exercising (cuz they have a quick beat and a catchy rhythm that's easy to jog to). However, even then, the tune/lyrics get stuck in my head and i find myself thinking about them throughout the day. :-\

Sooo.... yeah. pray for me as i try to get rid of some of the old junk in my music playlists and as i find some new and more "positive"(?) music :) :)

.... i think that's where i was going w/ that... :P

Oh, and some of my most recent favorite songs that you should check out (if you don't already have them):
