From Blogging....to song writing??

So i was reading the book of psalms lately....nd David (the song/poem writer) writes a LOT of chapters jus describing his relationship with God. Nd after a few chapters....I'm like, He' s not sayin anything different from the previous chpt. All his songs are Soo repetitive, so i kinda stopped afterwards (started another book). And at some points, it feels like his songs are more of complaints and "whining" to God (although there is also praise, and glorification). But that's how much time he spent with God. U no...similarly, it's like blogging lol, we jot down all the thoughts from the top of our head and express it through a blog post. It's almost the same thing. David wrote down (or blogged) every thought & feeling on his mind, and expressed it through a song to God. Most of them revolved around the glory of God, and the All Power & Mightiness of God. In the present, instead of writing out thoughts down in poems/songs, we blog. srry....if tht was a bad comparison.

Sooo....blogging strengthens your relationship with God! Good!....not Bad! for some reason, my parents discourage me from it=(. The only reason i rmb is, "do you realli have time for tht??"

side: School has been such a barrier lately. It's hard to display that same...."attitude" at school, as opposed to church. Ppl at school...who don't really know God yet....are jus totally different. No one's there for you....like at church. Ppl don't really care...but that's when it is my job to "give" back to them...even though I don't exactly "receive". I think ppl jus need to experience that "love" that God has for us....nd tht's what changes a person. Didomi has given me so much....I should take it...and spread it out to as many ppl as possible....so that they too, will see how God works in the lives of a christian.

Skool is the site of most distractions...prevents me from living an "everyday" christian life. So sometimes, I even go as far as feeling like a Sunday christian.

actually sidenote. you know how you said some of the psalms were repetitive? my friends and i did a devotion on that last night. they're supposed to. it's the type of style of poetry that they used in those days. instead of rhyming words, they would use different words to create phrases that say the same thing over and over again.

realli?...never knew tht. But i jus kept reading and reading....nd i didn't seem to be getting anything new out of it lol. (Not saying psalms isn't a good book, it's jus another way to describe ur own relationship with God)
