Movie reviews

I need ideas for movies to review. This is so that I don't review any movies that you think are just totally stupid. Please comment and let me know if there are any specific movies you want me to review.

Here Am I-MercyMe

This song is amazing. We all need to have the attitude of "here am I send me". We should want God's will for our life above all else and be willing to do what ever He tells us.

Prayer requests

From now on I want to have a new thing. If anyone has a prayer request you can comment and leave it and I'll pray for you. Hopefully, some of the other readers will too. If you're not comfortable doing that, you can just say unspoken. If you don't like the idea and think it's corny, please no hate comments. Just say you don't like it. This is going to be the guinea pig. If it works here, I'll do it on my other blog. So please comment and let me know what you think.

Looking for Angels-Skillet

Ok, Skillet rocks. The song has a cool message and the lead singer has cool hair. What's not to like?

Morning

Tomorrow is Friday. Traditionally that's the day that Jesus died. Imagine how His followers felt. Jesus had died. All hope was gone. Their Lord was dead. We go through tough times, sure. But I imagine that that would be the ultimate. Then three days later (traditionally Sunday) when all was surely lost. Jesus arose!! We go through times similar to that. Things are hard. Somebody died. Your parents don't have the money to pay the bills. Your dad just lost his job. Things look very bleak, dark, and hopeless. I just want to say that I serve a God who can turn the darkest and most hopeless of nights into the most beautiful and glorious of mornings. It may be Friday but Sunday is coming. After the night comes morning. If it's night for you right now, morning is coming. All is not lost. All you have to do is trust in God and His hope and His strength.

Legacy-Nichole Nordeman

I know we're only teenagers know, but in a few short years we'll be adults. Now is the time to be thinking about what kind of legacy you want to leave and what you want to be remembered for. Do you want to be remembered for having the biggest house or the most money or the nicest cars or do you want to be remembered for serving God with all that you are?

Giving thanks

Giving thanks. The bible says to do it in all circumstances. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 says "give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." That's not an easy thing to do. Ya know?

You could be having a pretty bad day, you could have flunked a big test, your annoying big brother could be going above and beyond to be annoying today, a parent could have walked out on your family. These are all circumstances that are hard to give thanks in. But consider this for a moment.

In the midst of Ravensbruck, concentration camp, in the middle of world war II, in a barrack so filled with fleas and other vermin that you couldn't possibly escape from them, Corrie ten Boom gave thanks for everything, fleas and all. Corrie and Betsie ten Boom started having devotional services in their barracks at the end of the day and hundreds of woman came to know Christ through these services. They later found out that the reason they could have these services unhindered was because of, you guessed it, the fleas.

Let's make an effort to thank God in all circumstances. He knows what He's doing and He's giving you these things for a reason.

Anticonformity-Krystal Meyers

Romans 12:2A Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. We, as Christians, have to remember that this world is not our home. We're just passing through. We shouldn't just conform to everyone and everything around us. We should conform to God and his standards for everything we do in our life.

Changes

As you've probably noticed, I've made a few changes on my blog lately. These include: adding a poll, making a list of my favorite blogs (not including my other one) and including the links, and adding more written posts instead of music videos. These changes are to make the blog better for you, the reader. I'd really appreciate it if you could tell me if you like these changes and if there are any others I could make. If you think that things are great as they are, that's good too. Just please comment and tell me your opinion.

Definately Maybe-FM Static

Interesting fact about FM Static. The band may sound a lot like Thousand Foot Krutch to you. That's because it is. FM Static is a side project of TFK. It's all the same band members and everything. It's just a different name. The song is cool too. It talks about a guy and girl and love. It's not mushy though. Tell me what you think.

Activate

I really like the previous music video that I did. "Activate" by Stellar Kart. I like the song because it says that we can't be lukewarm or as in the BarlowGirl song Grey. We can't be content with just living lukewarm, complacent lives. God wants more than that. He wants us to be hot and on fire for Him. Sometimes we have to do a 360 in our lives. Being grey and wishy-washy and spineless about God is not near enough. Sure it'll take sacrifice and you might even lose a few friends or some respect or something, if you take a stand. You might even look like an idiot. But so what. At the end of the day, who's respect do you care about more? God's or some mere human's?

the poll results

If you've read my blog at all for the last couple weeks, you've probably noticed the poll I had. It asked what you wanted to see on this blog and gave the options of: all written posts, all music videos, and a good mix of both. The poll is now closed and the conclusion is (drum roll please) a good mix of both. Thanks to everyone who voted and I'm sorry if that's not what you voted for. See you here the day after tomorrow for a new day and a new post.
