This is number 10 in my 20 random posts series. I've been looking forward to this one; I have so many favorite songs that I love to share! I do share a lot of them on here, so for some of these I've just put in the link for where I've posted the song before. It was easier on me that way. :) Anyway, I hope you enjoy this music, and that it leads you to worship! I just listed them randomly; they're not necessarily in order of my least to greatest favorites.
I have a whole page with tons of my favorite music over here to the right: great music. Go check it out!
1. Barlowgirl - Hope Will Lead Us On. I posted this song very recently, and I really like it!
2. JJ Heller - What Love Really Means. I discovered JJ Heller a few weeks ago, and I really like her style of music and her passion.
3. Kristian Stanfill - One Thing Remains. I first heard this song at the study with the BSU that I've been going to on Tuesday nights, and I really like it.
4. New Life Worship - Great I AM. Still can't get over how amazing this song is!
5. Third Day - I Need a Miracle. I think I prefer this live version over the radio version.
6. Group 1 Crew - His Kind of Love. Reckless for us!
7. Matt Redman - 10,000 Reasons.
8. Jason Gray - Remind Me Who I Am. This song does just what it says--reminds me who I am.
9. Bebo Norman - I Will Lift My Eyes. I found this song several years ago, and it is one of the few songs I've found that I never get tired of. It's just beautiful.
10. Robbie Seay Band - We Are Not Alone. I like the beat to this song, and the truth in it.

20 random posts : : my greatest challenge
So this is number 5 in my 20 random posts series: my greatest challenge. I lead such a difficult, persecuted and suffering life, it was hard to narrow it down... Ha! God is so incredibly good for me.
I would have to say that my greatest challenge right now would be in being content with where God has me. As I go through my classes and look for a job, I have to admit, I want to be out of here! I want to be in India already, teaching kids at an orphanage and ministering to people in true need! My desire is to be a few years down the road, finished with my degree, on the mission field. But I guess I'll always struggle with that: once I'm in India, I'll want to get married, and then I'll want children, and then I'll want grandchildren! I'll always struggle with trusting God's purpose with my placement in the world.
To combat this sort of thing, I usually try to figure out why God has me where I am now, and what I can do here and now that will minister to people. For example, I think one of the reasons He has me here, going to school and working and living with my family, is so I can grow up and gain some life experience before I just go off on my own. I mean, I'm only 19--I haven't really done much with my life yet! I need time to grow in the Lord, to establish myself and solidify my faith, and to just prepare myself for what He'll have for me.
In terms of ministering to people here and now, I have my Compassion kids: Djamsel, Majoie, and Cristian. The three of them are such incredible blessings in my life; everytime I look at their pictures on my wall, I'm just blown away that the Lord of the universe, who created these kids and can speak to them so much better than I can, has allowed me to reach out to them, even if in just some small way.
Overall, in struggling with contentment in God's plan, I just have to remind myself that He is God, I'm not, and He's in control. I am learning to rest in Him
I wanted to share some of the music I've been worshipping to lately. Enjoy!
I found this song a long time ago and just recently discovered it again. It is so beautiful!
I had heard this song before, but I guess they did a new recording of it recently, and I like it a lot more. I know I haven't done an Everyday's Thanksgiving post in ages, but this song reminds me anew of how much I have to be thankful for; 10,000 things to thank Him for shouldn't be difficult, let alone 1000!

Sorry for the terrible quality!

Bless the Lord!
I just read this poem, and wanted to share it.
The Scribe
What lovely things
Thy hand hath made:
The smooth-plumed bird
In its emerald shade,
The seed of the grass,
The speck of stone
Which the wayfaring ant
Stirs—and hastes on!
Though I should sit
By some tarn in thy hills,
Using its ink
As the spirit wills
To write of Earth’s wonders,
Its live, willed things,
Flit would the ages
On soundless wings
Ere unto Z
My pen drew nigh;
Leviathan told,
And the honey-fly:
And still would remain
My wit to try—
My worn reeds broken,
The dark tarn dry,
All words forgotten—
Thou, Lord, and I.
-- Walter De La Mare
Also this incredible song by Matt Redman. It's so beautiful.
