Love Songs

I realized that I keep love songs in my head during the day, songs that I haven't heard in years or months or weeks (or days or hours)And they'll go along with me during the day. Let's take some time and analyze some of the songs that have filled my head recently.
So as of last year, I have been addicted to this one song by Lady Gaga called "Bad Romance"  and it is brilliantly done and ...evil. Here are the lyrics:
I want your love, and I want your revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
I want your love, and all your love is revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
Oh, caught in a bad romance Oh, caught in a bad romance

Now this is just the chorus of the song but as you can tell, it's not a holy song .  The singer is desiring something bad and compares love to revenge even saying that they are the same thing. Desiring something that is not good for you is definitely not of God. If we read Revelation 12, we see Satan taking his revenge  on the people of God, or the bride of Christ. Lady Gaga is definitely inkling to ward indulging in the devil's revenge against the people of God.

Now this song is in my head because one of my students keep singing songs around me.  It's Rihanna.
S.O.S. please someone help me.
It's not healthy... for me to feel this way
Y.O.U. are making this hard,
I can't take it, see it don't feel right
S.O.S. please someone help me
It's not healthy... for me to feel this way
Y.O.U. are making this hard
You got me tossin' and turnin' and can't sleep at night

[Bridge:]
This time please someone come and rescue me
'Cause you on my mind it's got me losing it
I'm lost, you got me lookin' for the rest of me
Love is testing me but still I'm losing it
This time please someone come and rescue me
'Cause you on my mind, it's got me losing it
I'm lost, you got me looking for the rest of me,
Got the best of me, so now I'm losing it

Needless to say, I really don't appreciate Rihanna's music. But clearly in this song, she's calling for help from some guy to alleviate some tension. SMH. Why is a twelve year old singing this song? SMH. The guy is not Jesus. I do not need to go into the spiritual implications here. Some desires do not need to be indulged.

Next song that I've been thinking about this week: White Flag by Dido. Here's the lyrics:
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
My friend tells me that this is how life is sometimes. Um ...not for me. I think to be hung up on someone so much is just depressing and difficult. Can't do it. I will try to refuse because he say life is unpredictable. But the spiritual connotation is.. well, God does call for us to surrender to Him and this song is just not surrendering, desperately clinging to the hope of a lost relationship.


So, yeah. I'm trying to stop my mind from thinking about these songs because these songs don't help me grow spiritually. SMH

Update: Focusing on Jesus is the key.

I'm Amazed

Yes I'm taking a picture with my phone. And what? Look at that forehead! The majority my face is my forehead. I don't know what I'm doing with my hair. Think I'll wear my hat tonight. But look at those beautiful teeth! And those eyes! Sweet! Can wait till I grow back those eyelashes and that brow! I need to rock those contacts. Those eyes can not be hidden any longer. Bday is coming up in a month and some days. Y'all pray that my lashes grow back by then. Any who...so the reason why the phone is in the pic. I lost this phone yesterday evening when my friend was dropping me off near the mailbox so I could bring in the mail. Unfortunately, I was clueless to what occurred until I was in the house. By then I wasn't sure if I left it in the vehicle, if it was hidden in one of the bags I take with me to school, or if I had accidentally dropped it on the ground in front of the house or the mailbox. As it was already dark outside, I decided to leave the excursion fo...

Church today

It was good. Sabbath School was about seeing the great controversy in Daniel. I sang Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus for special ( apparently Atonte has got me on the singing roster). Then the Pastor spoke about NEWSTART for a healthy body/marriage/church. My interest was in his evangelism thrust. For 10 months, the church will be planning a program for the community once a month. Now, I thought that this was interesting because I was wondering how I was going to be a part of evangelism here, being that I am a part of the minority in this community. Well look at God! Sometimes I envy the eagerness/willingness that others have for evangelism and I wonder why I do not have the same desire... Well, I'm doing it anyway! I other news, my hair is super neglected. I'll be conditioning tonight, possibly all night. Right now, it's a very old, very stretched out twist out that I haven't retwisted in days. Can't see myself pushing this hair past Sunday. In fact, I'm kind...

Church Hair

My hair was not cooperating this morning. Look at it! Mad stringy! I think the continuous twisting is thinning out my hair. And the pulling back is thinning out edges. Pray for my hair y'all. This week coming, I'm going to just let my hair hang in smaller twists, keep it like that for a month until my b-day. Anywho... Church was great!! I  love my pastor and my young adult bible study group. So last night, the group met and we discussed the reasons as to why today's society is the way it is, in reference to post-modernism and the secular mind set. We are doing a series on this starting with the middle ages that will lead us to today and how we can evangelize to the young adults of today.WORD! I'm so down! Then today for Sabbath School, we did a study on Daniel 2, 7, 8. 9, 11 and how each vision just gives more details than the previous vision.  So deep! Then the sermon was about the book of Esther. The title was "Ask for the Banquet" and Esther is a type...
