Hello Hurricane :)

Shama llama ding dong. Sup kids? :{D

SO. I've been listening to Switchfoot over and over for like the past week. I have their Hello Hurricane album on repeat hahahaha. Can you blame me? Jon Foreman is stinkin amazing! :] His voice is to raw and raspy...I love it! And I know the band itself is a secular band, but the members are practicing Christians. They pretty much make my life happy. :D

Alright. Getting to the point of this blog...I've been listening to the title track most of all this week. It basically says that no matter what this life throws at us, nothing will ever take away our love for each other or for God; "Hello Hurricane, you're not enough. Hello Hurricane, you can't silence my love. I've got doors and windows boarded up; all your dead end fury's not enough. You can't silence my love." S'got me thinking...

How many times do we really admit to ourselves that we're not as "in control" as we'd like to be? I know personally, I like to control what's going on around me. Especially when it comes to my relationships; any relationships. Whether it's with my parents, my friends, or anybody else, I like to keep things tucked away in me so they don't get to completely see everything I am. That's something I need to work on.

I guess the world today is like a hurricane. It's big, scary, and devastating. But, if you know just the right place to stand, everything is peaceful, at least for a little while. We can't let this world intimidate us and tell us what's right or what's wrong; we already know what's right and wrong according to the Bible. Our love today sometimes seems to be choked out by this monster storm of a world we live in, but we can't let it! Nothing should silence our love! If we stick to our guns and prepare for that stormy weather that's a-brewin, nothing will be able to shake us.

Gah. I just love this song! It just gets me so excited; it makes me want to scream to the world, "NOTHING YOU CAN DO WILL EVER SILENCE MY LOVE!!!!!" Just keep Holding On, and you'll get through the hurricanes of life, I promise. :]

Here's the lyrics, just in case you'd love to know lol;

I've been watching the skies
They've been turning blood red
Not a doubt in my mind anymore
There's a storm up ahead

Hello hurricane, you're not enough
Hello hurricane, you can't silence my love
I've got doors and windows boarded up
All your dead end fury is not enough
You can't silence my love, my love

Every thing I have I count as loss
Everything I have is stripped away
Before I started building I counted up these costs
There's nothing left for you to take away

Hello hurricane, you're not enough
Hello hurricane, you can't silence my love
I've got doors and windows boarded up
All your dead end fury is not enough
You can't silence my love, yeah my love

I'm a fighter fighting for control
I'm a fighter fighting for my soul
Everything inside of me surrenders
You can't silence my love
You can't silence my love, yeah

Hello hurricane, you're not enough
Hello hurricane, you can't silence my love
I've got doors and windows boarded up
All your dead end fury is not enough
You can't silence my love

Yeah, I said hello hurricane <3
