In My Ears...♫

We all listen to music daily. Music has the ability to change how you respond to issues, and it has the power to change how you feel. There's a song for every emotion that you could possibly feel. Before I took my relationship with Christ seriously, the majority of the music on my iPod was sad break-up songs & cheesy love songs. I bet you could guess of what was always on my mind: relationships & boys. I had Gospel music on there for sure, but I listened to it occasionally after Sundays.
When my relationship with Christ became my first priority, my playlists HAD to change! I realized how much music can have a control over you. One song will have you mad over a situation that you let go months ago!
Now that I'm a Christ representer, my music represents Him. I've decided to give you all a list of people that you can find me jammin' to. Trust me, my music is not like that boring music that they sing at your grandmother's church. Not all Christians songs have the same sound, but they have the same positive message about the saving love of our beautiful Savior.  

1) Jonathan McReynolds 

 He's so refreshing & he's only in his early twenties. You can tell he loves Christ for real! His album "Life Music" is out right now in stores. 

2) Andy Mineo

This guy.....his lyrics, his style. He brings Jesus in a way that many young people would never expect! His gift is amazing.

3) The Walls Group

 

These four brothers & sisters are such a great representation of our generation! Their EP is out now!

4) Mali Music 

 

Mali has more of an R&B feel, but he definitely loves the Lord. His new album "Mali Is.." is incredible!

5) Lecrae 

For all of my rap fans! This is my JAM! lol I bump this like everyday. His mixtape "Church Clothes 2" is out now! He's also coming out with a new album soon! 

6) Jamie Grace

Sweet melodies. Positive message. Different sound. I love me some Jamie Grace!

I find it hilarious when people get in the car with me & say "this is about Jesus?" The majority of the music that I listen to is about Him! You won't EVER catch me listening to that garbage that promotes drugs, money & sex, or that degrades me as a woman. No way! Now, sometimes I listen to India.Arie, Candice Glover, Whitney Houston and Brandy, but it's very rare. I listen to music that will empower me & help me think positive thoughts. You have to be careful about what you let in your ears, especially if you're living or you want to live for Christ!

So, what are some things you're letting in your ears? If Jesus put on your headphones, would He be pleased with what He's hearing?

Thumpin' Thursday: Awesome (Remix)

Hey everyone! I hope you all have had a great day so far! Now, I know I haven't done this in a while but I have to share this song! This is a remix of Awesome by Pastor Charles Jenkins. The reason why I listened is because Jessica Reedy is on it (she's my FAVORITE!), but it turns out that I love this remix! It's with Canton Jones, Jessica Reedy, Isaac Carree & Da T.R.U.T.H. I hope you love it as much as I do! :)

Jesus At the Center - Israel & New Breed

I know that this isn't Wednesday, but I have to post this song! I've been singing the little bit of this song that I know for some days now, so this morning I went on YouTube & found it. I have been playing this song all morning & I love it!  Israel has always been one of my favorite worship leaders. His songs are so pure! This is the perfect song to start your day off with. When you find yourself angry, sad, or absolutely fine today sing or listen to this song. I hope you are blessed by it as much as I am. Have a great Monday! :)

 

"Nothing else matters. Nothing in this world will do. Jesus, you're the center, and everything revolves around you."

 

Thumpin' Thursday: Smile - Jonathan McReynolds

Happy Thumpin' Thursday! It's our 1st Thumpin' Thursday & today's song is Smile by Jonathan McReynolds. I fell in love with this guy's ministry about a year ago & he finally released an album in September called Life Music ! I bought the album last weekend & I can't stop playing this song! It makes me happy no matter how my day is going. The whole album is DOPE, so BUY IT! lol
But choose to smile today because you are here & you didn't have to be! Have a wonderful Thursday! :)

Worship Wednesday

"True worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks." (John 4:23 NIV)

 

  Hey girls! It's the first Worship Wednesday. My absolute favorite singer in the world(besides my daddy) is Jessica Reedy. She is amazing & her heart for God shows everytime she sings or talks. I had the pleasure of actually hearing her in person & it's just as amazing. Now, I know this is a long video, but the part that I want you to watch starts at about 10:56.



 



Worship means everything! It's what pleases the Father. It makes Him happy. Choose worship today & make God smile :)
