How many songs do you think you here a day? 30, 40, 50?
As your driving you have the radio on, or as your checking Facebook you will have music playing on your computer.
Today we are going to BREAK IN to Jesus by using our music.
Every time you listen to a song today, listen to the music and the words.
How does each song make you feel?
Do the words encourage you or depress you?
When you get done listening to that song are you inspired?
Every where we go in life, we hear songs and music. We have to realize that the things we listen to can change the way we feel.
Today take time and really listen to the music you hear playing around you. See how it effects your thoughts, feelings and eventually your actions.
Love you all-and because Destinee commented about how much she loved the "peace out" that we left.....
PEACE OUT!

Intoxicating
Ephesians 5:18b, 19 says, “…be filled with the Spirit. Speak to one another with psalms,
hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord.” NIV
When someone gets drunk they are under the influence of an intoxicating substance. We are not to be con-
trolled with alcohol but with the Spirit of God! How do you let God intoxicate you and put you
under His influence? You just read about it in Ephesians. We are to sing spiritual songs. It has a “Spirit filling”
effect on us.
Take 30 minutes today by yourself and worship God with your whole heart! Go in your room, close the door, put on your headphones, do whatever you need to get away from the world and focus completely on God! Then, jump around, lift your hands, scream at the top of your lungs, read a psalm (middle of your bible), worship your God with everything in you!
Warning: if you do this once it will become so addicting that your life will never be the same. Consider this with extreme caution because once you worship God with everything inside of you there is no turning back! You will be hooked for life!

Reckless words pierce like a sword, but...
Proverbs 12:18
Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
God has been really working on my words lately. I find so often that my words of sarcasm, or shortness really can take a toll on those I am around. Have you ever heard the term- every sarcastic comment has truth in it? How much easier would it be to give someone a compliment or speak life into someone rather than say a sarcastic remark that has no meaning and ultimately is useless in the kingdom of God. If every action and word we say is held accountable at the end of my life, I want to make sure I spend my time speaking life and using my words to heal hearts rather than using worthless words that mean nothing.
So what?
Will you take the challenge and speak words of life that bring healing today or will you fall to words that cut into people? Go to war today to make your words worth something on this side of eternity! Find at least 10 people today to give a compliment to. Instead of fighting with your parents and siblings tell them how much you appreciate and love them. Lets change the world through our words!
