New days!

Avalon - New day
Lyrics

Going back to yesterday, saying that each day we get a clean slate, this song just exemplifies that completely. I cherish everyday that I am alive and here because I know that tomorrow is not guaranteed to any of us, and I need to do as much as I can to serve God as much as possible. The second verse speaks a lot to me because my entire perspective on the world has changed in relation to what is important to me now. Instead of caring about what people thought of me, trying to fit in, trying to be popular, I just am myself now, and I let God take care of whatever else He wants to bless me with. All my mistakes that I have made in the past are no longer weighing me down, and instead, I look forward, awaiting any opportunities that may come my way. I also like the way the guitar is played at 2:09!


Lincoln Brewster - Today is the day
Lyrics

Each day is made by God and we live for his purpose. It was hard for me to not worry about what is going to happen in the future and plan ahead for the next year at USC, but instead, I am now living in the present, trusting in what God has in store for me wherever he leads me. This past semester, the Lord has presented freedom from fear as one of the difficult things that we were facing. Throughout the semester, each week, I hoped to act in boldness and tried to go wherever He led me. Not worrying about what would happen in academics as much as I probably should have, but none the less, being free from the fear of not living up to my own expectations, and other people's was good for me. This is a good reminder also that we should rejoice always that we have God in our lives and another day to serve.
