30 Day Blogger Challenge: CP Edition

Because CBB is so wise and inspiring, I've stolen this challenge off of her blog (which is, I think the point!) Due to my lack of internet at home, we'll see how frequently I can pull this off, but I LOVE this idea. I haven't had many opportunities to just WRITE, and not being in college for the moment has made me a little antsy...

My wonderful Timmy encouraged me to write him letters while I was on my cruise this past week, and that definitely helped get my creative juices flowing. (I love him. He makes me better.) It also got me to think about writing again, and this is just what I needed. When I was in my ENGW 1101W class way back during freshmen year, I remember them specifically saying that if you truly want to write and be a writer, you must write EVERY DAY. Even when you don't feel like it.

So here goes:

Day 01: Favorite Song

Now, I had to think about this for awhile. I love all kinds of music, and I have never truly answered this question when I was ever asked, "What is your favorite song?" I have never answered this question truthfully, because which song of all the music that I listen to is the favorite? Which song moves me beyond all others? What lyrics describe me? What does the music do? What style of music should I go with?

And so, after much thought, my favorite song is "Into Jesus" by: d.c. Talk

The song is quite old, and I think I first heard it when I was eight years old. However, it has stuck with me and was a part of many life changing experiences. The lyrics are what makes it so relevant, and what sticks out the most:

"Hey you, I'm in to Jesus."

It describes my faith perfectly, and in the most simple of ways. The song is a rock song, has a great melody, and the band takes you on a musical journey. Those are the songs that stay with me.



AND because I wouldn't be me without it...

"I Want It That Way" by: Backstreet Boys

Such a classic. So good.
