...
i wasn't going to update my blog until finals were done with..
but i love sharing and updating my playlist..so i was like oh wth i'll write a post too...
some awesome '90s r&b! these 6 songs on my list really gets me going emotionally when i listen to them..you know just one of those songs... that take you back to that time and place in your past ...and you can rememer in your head and feel it in your body and be like 'wow this is exactly how i remember myself feeling couple of years ago!". music is such a powerful thing..probably why i fell in love with it! speaking of music... today was my first sunday singing in the worship team,
i come from a background of doing countless performances and shows...and performing secular music was always about doing it for myself. strictly dealt with my love and passion for music.
Worship/praise i understand logically ..that it's about worshiping God and using my talent to honour His name, not mine. aside of all the nerves and anxiety of singing in front of the congregation.. i think i struggled with this the most: having my mind filled with all the musicality .."am i gonna sound good, or forget the lyrics, wil i remember the transitions, is my voice gonna crack". when really all i should be saying to myself is STOP THINKING ABOUT YOURSELF and just PRAISE GOD...
i guess this will improve with experinece as i continue to serve in the worship team =)

  1. i was at a worship service on sat night and saw these girls dance in the name of God...and i wondered in my mind if they know that they are doing it for Him and not us or themselves...
    i think the fact that you even realize it is a big step ahead already...it makes me feel warm and joyous hahaha

    anyway, heres something you should watch...its REALLY touching
