okay, okay, i know that if i blogged about EVERY song i was into for those five minutes, this blog would be flooded with posts by me... xD. but i guess as for this "moment", this song really hit me. i get so caught up with my past, and so anxious about my future...and while all that happens, i'm skimming over the present that God is giving me. it does us no good to think about the "if onlies" because they've already passed. every day, God is giving each one of us a blessing RIGHT in front of us. our families, our friends, our fellowship, our church, our homes, our food...the list goes on and on and on... i don't want to miss the miracle of what God is doing NOW. i won't try so hard to see God's blessings that it stresses me out, but i just need to remember that every breath is another blessing, and as i exhale it should be returning the glory to Him. thank You God for every moment.

obsession

Hehs, so i guess i'll be the first post :].

"Magnificent Obsession" ~Steven Curtis Chapman

this song really helps me to refocus my attention back on God. i'm a very...distracted person. i get distracted really easily. even when i'm living knowing about God, i forget during the day that every word, action, thoughts, desires, etc. should all be glorifying to God. i'm praying that God will be my magnificent obsession-- not just a casual interest that so transient like a breath, but an overtaking LOVE for God, not simply an emotion but a lifestyle! hahas, and i know i will fall and mess up every now and then, but i want my life to revolve around Him. wOOt God!
