Worship Songs... you gotta love them. But sometimes they can seem a bit cheesy and repetitive.

You want to spend some time listening to Christian music that will center you and let you worship through your earphones while walking to classes or studying in the library.

But sometimes all of the songs you have to choose from seem kind of lame. Christian music does not align with modern music tastes but instead forms its own separate category of cheesy lyrics and out-of-date background music. If you don't know what I'm talking about, turn on WBFJ or K-Love or whatever your local Christian radio station is.

Don't get me wrong, there are some artists and music that I love! Lauren Daigle!! Housefires!! They're literally fire! However, a majority of the Christian community may still not know that there are non-cheesy worship options that are actually nice to listen to. So here is a list of my favorite atypical worship songs:

1. On the Banks// Chris Renzema

'Cause your water's my redemption

Into your kingdom, your heart, God Most High

And your blood is the pow'r that breaks off my shackles

Ends all my battles, I find rest in You, Most High"

2. Turn// Future of Forestry

"Then morning rays through the haze

The golden blaze got a hold of you

It was a vision of light

That turned you around"

3. Sticks and Stones// Kings Kaleidescope

"Longing to give and taste forgiveness

Dying to live a pure religion

Settle the rush to chase submission

Open my eyes and soul to listen"

4. Losing My Religion// Lauren Daigle

"I'm losing my religion, and finding something new

'Cause I need something different, and different looks like You"

5. Let Your Blood Plead For Me// Sojourn

"Let your blood plead for me

Wash me clean

I believe, Lord, I believe

Your blood has covered me"

6. Melt My Soul To Love// Red Mountain Church

"The power, the sweetness of that voice,

My stony heart does move;

Makes me in Christ my Lord rejoice

And melts my soul to love"

7. Jumping from Jaded Heights// Kings Kaleidescope

"Show me every grace I lost the fight to see

I'm coming around

Remedy the piece of faith that broke in me"

8. Farther Along// Josh Garrels

"The good man dies, the bad man thrives

And Jesus cries because he loves 'em both

We're all castaways in need of rope"

9. Not in a Hurry// Will Reagan

"I'm learning to listen

Just to rest in Your nearness

I'm starting to notice

You are speaking"

10. Peace Like a River// Page CXVI

"come to the waters

watch it flow, with his love

where your heart won't wither

but grow"

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

Thank you for all that you do for me
Thank you for working through disagreements with me
Thank you for always supporting me
I appreciate you more than words can express
You have helped me grow and become a better person
I can't wait to see where life takes us next
I promise to cherish every moment with you
Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
