singleness. running. relient k. beautiful. just kidding.

As a boyfriendless female at the ripe old age of 16, Clearly God is calling me to singleness.

Just Kidding.

But, sometimes I do get into that silly mindset. But is it really all that silly? Maybe, it just needs a little bit of a shift.
Truth is, right now, as someone who's not even close to being ready for marriage, I don't need a 'special guy'.  I'm busy with life, school, and music. And I really need to get completely sold out to the fact that God is supposed to be the number one love of my life before I consider anyone else to go below him.
Forget boy crazy.
I need to be God crazy.
I am actually called to singleness right now.
There's not someone in my life who God is clearly giving the 'go ahead' on right now.
Right now, Is God's time.
Running after Guys?
Try Running after God first.
See who's running too.




Getting into: Relient K
Relient K is one of my All-Time favorite bands ever for infinity and beyond.
What's that, Dearly beloved reader? You're not all that into them? You don't really know any of their songs? You actually don't have a clue who the heck they are?
It would seem you have a dilemma.
I, your ever faithfullish writer, shall solve it for you.
Here we go.

Album:
"Two Lefts don't make a Right...But Three do"
What you should start with:
"Mood rings" a song about girls and their emotions. A good reminder to both genders.
"Falling out" it's about not being of this world.
"Getting into you" It's about making God your everything.
Going Further:
"Forward Motion" the struggle for change.
"In love with the 80's" I love this song.
"Over Thinking" realizing it's time to move on.
For Fun:
"Gibberish" it's pure baloney. with a deepish message.
"Jefferson Aeroplane" I'm not quite sure how to explain this song, but it's good. fast forward after the song ends to the 7:19 mark and you'll hear a rap at the end. It's kinda hilarious.
Here's all the aforementioned songs:

Some songs are just.............................Beautiful.
"Blackbird" by the Beatles is one of those.
Unfortunately, I can't find the original on grooveshark. (way sad face)
So, here's some cool covers.
First, a bluegrassy instrumental version: http://grooveshark.com/#/s/Blackbird/3lzj27?src=5
A jazzy version by the dave matthews band (only for the patient): http://grooveshark.com/#/s/Blackbird/1fER6X?src=5
The Foo Fighters give it try (for the impatient. it's way short.)

The cast of glee. ( they just can't leave anything alone, can they? ces't la vie.)(It's actually pretty nice.)

Alter Bridge. http://grooveshark.com/#/s/Blackbird/wbbxw?src=5 haha. just kidding. But this is a good song too, just in a totally different way.
