This Ain't Your Momma's Christian Music

Many things have evolved since the 21st century first began. The means of how we connect with others has evolved; with our portable laptops and our iPhones that do any and everything under the sun. Our sources of entertainment have expanded from only newspapers and daily news to Netflix and online media outlets (Odyssey is the best obviously). The same is true for our music. Sure, Justin Bieber's voice has transformed from adorable to talented, and Drake started at the bottom and now nothing but views, but what's really happened?


[OUR GENERATION HAS FALLEN IN LOVE WITH WORSHIP]


"Wait, what? People actually listen to that stuff?" Listening to worship music anytime other than Sunday mornings when your mom just dragged you out of bed and is keeping you from falling asleep by flicking you on the side of the head is absurd. But why?

We seldom realize the effects of music. If asked, you might not remember the first song you heard this morning, but spend 5 minutes alone and I guarantee you will remember when you stop and realize there's been a song humming in your head all day. Our music influences what and how we think whether we realize it our not. Given the choice, I'm sure everyone would choose to have a happy day rather than a unfavorable one. So what are you listening to throughout the day? Are you positively or negatively affected from it? If your answer was negatively, then here's your fix. Change what you listen to.

YES, as crazy as it may seem, worship music is pleasant. Not only is it pleasing to the Lord, but it's also good for us and can be captivating and enjoyable.

Groups of beautifully talented musicians and songwriters have written music over the last 10 years that speaks, excites and encourages us when we are feeling anything but. Some of the most-heard tracks have come from worship groups such as: Hillsong, Bethel, Elevation, etc. Below are seven of this years's most powerful and moving songs, intended to draw us in and praise the Lord in the best way they/we know how.. With all we have!








Challenge: When you wake play these songs and see how positive your day is with the different influence! Comment below if you experience a change!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
