I was more in a rock mood lately.....here goes my list:
1. Hearts of Saints- Over and Over
I came across this song via HearItFirst.com. I have to say that I reallylike this song. It has a rock and pop fused mix that makes it catchy. I find myself singingit constantly.
2. Fireflight- For Those Who Wait
This is my song for the year! I play it all the time because it reminds me that I'm not the only one in this situation, going through what I am going through. The wait will be well worth it. The band is totally awesome. I can't wait to get their new CD.
3. Above the Golden State- I Am Loved
You can't go wrong with a feel good song that reminds you that you are loved. ATGS reminds me of the Californian beach bands.
4. Decfyer Down- Crash
I like the song and their sound. They remind me of Breaking Benjamin and Crossfade (an absolutely + in my book). I'm looking to hear more from them in the future.
5. Fireflight- Desperate
Another awesome song by Fireflight.
6. Day of Fire- Lately
Day of Fire is the Christian band I've been dreaming about: awesome voice, lyrics, head-banging songs, etc. I love them!
7. Newworldson- You Set the Rhythm
Newworldson is this awesome band that music sounds like a melting pot of everything good. The song is catchy and an honest confession of how since Jesus came into our hearts He has set the rhythm.
8. Brandon Heath- Love Never Fails
I know this is really cheesy but I would love this song as a first dance song. The song is pretty much 1 Corithinans 13 in a song. I love that its such a beautiful song but it still gets its message across.
9. North Point- It Is Well
Its a cover of the hymn. I love old hyms, they are the true honest statement of our emotions and feelings. The words were changed a little in the cover but the message is the same: through every situation, toil and snare; through the drama, good days, bad days, it is still well with our soul.
10. Needtobreathe- Don't Wait for Daylight
I saw an article about them and downloaded the song. I like their sound but the verdict is still out on the song.
Well, we'll see what next month inspires me to listen to. Be blessed.

My Top 10 Fav Songs- May 2009
So this time I am actually going to list just 10. It will be difficult, but I think I can do it.
1. Let Go- Grey Holiday
I found Grey Holiday when I looked up their song from the Fireproof soundtrack. I think this song is so cool! It’s talking about asking God to give you the strength to let go of whatever, whoever, etc. We all have things we need to let go of but they admit it’s not easy in this song and they are asking for help.
2. Back to Indiana- The Elms
This song is so cool! I am on The Elms mailing list and downloaded this song as soon as I got to the email. It’s the classic formula that I love about them: old school rock! Can’t beat that.
3. Cartoons- Chris Rice
This song is sooo hilarious! I started listening to it because I wanted a song for the children in Children’s Church to sing it or listen to it. The concept is cute: how would the cartoon characters praise the Lord?
4. Yearn- Shane & Shane feat. Bethany Dillon
Let me tell you about this song. I was at this point where I wanted, no needed more but I didn’t know exactly how to express it. I was listening to Bethany Dillon on Youtube and I came across the live version with her singing the song. I played it over and over again. I want to get to that point where I yearn, burn, desire, and crave only the Lord.
5. Everything is Beautiful- Starfield
This song is cool. I used to listen to it occasionally on my cousins iPod and decided I should download the song for myself. I love it!
6. Thief- Brooke Fraser
I am honestly trying not to be a sickening romantic but I absolutely love this song. I am going to admit that I love Brooke Fraser Ligertwood’s songwriting but this song is so beautiful. It’s about the guy being the thief and breaking into her heart…..sigh.
7. I’ll Love You So- Above the Golden State
Now I am so surprised why I didn’t add this song before. I love this band! They remind me of The Beach Boys but updated, hotter and better yet: Christian. The song is saying that he will continue to love Him.
8. I’m Letting Go- Francesca Battistelli
She’s a new artist on my radar. I love her deep scratchy like voices. The song is what I needed to hear as I made the change into my new room. It is about letting go and letting God. I feel we don’t do it enough.
9. Open Skies- David Crowder Band
This song is rather old but it makes me feel so good whenever I hear it. I love this band; they make the worship experience an awesome one. I would love to go to one of their concerts.
10. Undo- Rush of Fools
This song is an honest expression of someone who realizes they are nothing without Jesus love and grace. We have to ask God everyday to constantly undo us and let Him work in our lives instead.
Be blessed.

Location, Location, Location!
I love living in New York. Really I do; but when there are things like Blizzard (a Christian youth retreat) in Ohio, Erynn Mangum book signing in Texas, and Christian rock concerts everywhere but New York; I wonder sometimes if New York is the best city to be a young Christian? All these amazing Christian events I read about and love to be apart of are in other states that would require me to fly to get there (mind you, I am afraid of heights). The only event that is in New York is Kingdom Bound, and that's Upstate New York! Oh the humanity! I would love to see Salvador, Above the Golden State (sigh), Leeland (I LOVE THEM!) in concert but it would mean I would have to travel to see them......
Now that I have gotten that off my chest. I am so looking forward to Laura Jensen Walker's new book "Turning the Paige". Its the second book in the "Getaway Girls" series. I absolutely loved the first book "Daring Chloe", it was hilarious. I hope it gives you a follow up to Chloe because I am eager to know what happened to her. Anywho, I am such a dork. I called Barnes and Noble (I am a proud member)and had them order a copy for me (Christian Chick-Lit isn't carried much in bookstores) as soon as the book was released. I was on alibris.com (The Godsend of discount book sites!) and found out that I ordered over 40 books from October 2007 and January 2009! That doesn't count the books I bought from Barnes and Noble. I knew something was up when my books and fashion magazines started to take over my room, lol. I won't complain, because when it comes down to it I wouldn't resell them. I love reading and rereading books. I like that these books entertain me and speak to my spirit (not to mention many of the characters are as crazy as me); so what more can a girl ask for? Well Starbucks, Mr.Darcy, and Haagen-Daz Dulce de Leche ice cream (lol).
