I Need a Wake Up!...

I am still in search of uplifting music and videos. Maybe using the word 'uplifting' isn't actually correct. I have realized in my search that what I like is very different than what many others listen to, so I have started adding some of the music (and accompanying videos since most of them are from Youtube) that I've come across that appeal to me to my profile page. I hope and pray that anyone reading this might take a moment to have a listen to one or more of the videos to ascertain the type of music I am looking for, as I don't want to limit myself by only listening to things I can find on my own. By no means, does this mean that I am stuck on one type or another, but that I have a preference for a certain style. I don't want to be put to sleep, I don't want to be depressed, I don't want to feel so-so or blah, and I do not want to mumble repetetive lyrics like a mantra. I want bold worship, ardent worship, the type of worship that makes a passerby wonder 'what is going on with that weirdo' kinda worship...if you know what I mean...lol. I love a beat, but am just as happy with strong guitar riffs and searing lyrics. I want to feel music in the marrow of my bones, and not just be lulled by it. God tells me I have been asleep for much too long, and now is the time to WAKE UP!! Can anyone help a sister out here?

Now that I have that out of my system, I wanted to catch up with things. Todd sent me a text a little while ago, telling me he was still in Sacramento, which means he won't be home until sometime tomorrow. It has been almost a week without him, and I struggle to find all the layers of beauty in the world around me without him here. Maybe that is why I have been so fervent in my search for music to lift my spirits...hmmm...something to think about. I have bible study in a few hours. I have only been to this women's bible study twice before, but everyone there is so nice and so very real for a change. My mother-in-law will be coming for the first time tonight. Lord, forgive me for thinking ungenerous thoughts...but I am a bit jealous and resentful of sharing this new space with her so soon, as we have issues with her crowding me in other areas of our lives together. Forgive me, Lord. Everyone, pray for me that I lose those unkind and uncompassionate thoughts before I set foot in our Father's house tonight. Thank you, everyone. God Bless!!
