Rebecca St. James – Wait for Me
Aug/044
This song truly is a desire of mine. In today’s world, purity seems to be something condemned rather than revered. Well, I believe this is an entirely misguided preconception. The reason purity is not respected is because so many have failed, and those that have failed wants others to be weak in a particular aspect of life just as they didn’t have. Well, I know I tremendously respect those who live a life of purity. And no matter what anybody says, don’t give in. You aren’t “missing anything”, you don’t “need practice”, and sex doesn’t show somebody you love them – it shows that you love yourself and are self-centered around your own pleasure.
Steven Curtis Chapman – How do I Love Her
Aug/040
Even though I’m not married or anything yet. This song portrays the desire of a husband to love his wife. Since I’ve been known to handle relationships quite horribly, this is something I truly desire. When the time comes, I want to be able to give the girl everything she deserves and much more. I want to be able to show a true and unquestionable love with a level of integrity that will prevent any doubt for creeping into anyone’s mind.
Bethany Dillon – Beautiful

This song comes from a very young girl – 15 years old. Yet this song seems to speak to so many people on so many levels. I feel like we all can relate to what this girl is saying. I got to see her debut this song in Charlottesville in March. I was taken back then by the relevance this girl has to our everyday struggles.
Tait – All You Got
Aug/040
This song reminds me to never give up. I think sometimes it is too hard to follow my convictions, or part of my life is out of control. Well, I can find reassurance in knowing that God is in control of every aspect of my life, and that if I let him control it, I won’t steer my life into disaster after disaster. God knows how much hardship I can take, and He will allow hardship simply because it makes me stronger in the end, not because I deserve some punishment. When God is in control, what looks bad in the end turns out be one of the greatest parts of life.
