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.

My hair...out here in the boonies

Here's a hair update... So Korean! Look at that forehead! LML! These are some twists on a lazy Sunday Morning. Can't wait till my eye lashes and eyebrow grows back in so I could start looking less raggedy...ugh. LOL But don't my teeth look gorgeous? I left my home in Brooklyn, NY with absolutely no hair products. I know what you're thinking... AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! LOL. My bag was already over weight I was not looking forward to paying another 100 bucks to satisfy my hair's obsession with moisture. I lie. I did bring one thing with me. Kinky Curly Knot Today... A friend gave it to me and said it would be good for my curl pattern. I usually mix it with Aloe Vera juice and oils from Kimmaytube's recipe but I decided maybe I could use it by itself...super wrong. Apparently my hair has to be super wet to use it. My hair was so sticky when I first used it as a leave in by itself. I felt like it wasn't doing any good in my hair. So I mixed it with olive oi...

Die, Chick, Die!

Yeah...problems. I have cried more in these last weeks in front of people than I ever have.  First last week, I cried because I made mistakes. This week, I cried because I interjected in a confrontation between John and Nadine ( my host parents) and I felt so justified but I suppose the Holy Spirit is working in me, or maybe it was self rising up in me but I felt remorseful about my outburst and I cried in front of them again as I was apologizing to John. Poor John. Poor host  family. I believe crying is a response to the books I've been reading about dying to self. But I cannot discern whether it is the Holy Spirit or self that is causing this emotional response in me. But I am realizing the futility of self and it sucks being unstable. In other news, My hair is a mess. I slept on my twistout last night becasue I didn't want to twist them over again and risk more breakage. One side of my head is all straggly and the other side is full and luscious...

SLO

Reporting Live from Atascadero, California, this is Neon with a quick update about life on the West Coast. LOL! So yeah, there's deer eating the fruit trees and fire rings and different types of birds  and racoons trying to get into your house and 7UP!! I haven't seen this in years! In NYC, 7UP is extinct. And it was so great. I know I don't drink soda becasue it's so totally not healthy but maybe I'll drink some on birthday, hmm? LOL There's also church ice cream socials with homemade ice cream and sorbet ( can you say yummy?) and Pastor Ivor Myers preaching in the church and seminars that can benefit your social life and an eighty-nine percent caucasian population (you know God is changing me, but where am I going to get my hair done?) and a hair stylist who's going to do my hair for my b-day who I'm hoping get's it right. So much has happened in these last two weeks that I do not know where to begin, but I'm happy to be here and disconcerted...
