https://padlet.com/cdotjgb/oiafqw7z9x9eqhi7 These songs have a lot of meaning in my life they are in part, the reason why I am the way I am. en-us 2022-09-07 02:32:58 UTC 2025-06-13 13:59:40 UTC hello@padlet.com cdotjgb https://padlet.com/cdotjgb/oiafqw7z9x9eqhi7/wish/2291613094 This song is so important to me because it describes the life change I went through. Growing up I wasn't a bad kid, I just made a lot of bad choices. I made choices that I very much regret and have to live with for the rest of my life but God stepped in. I always knew that God was real and grew up in church knowing Jesus was my Savior but it never really clicked in my head what He had to save me from. I got to the point when I was 16 that I was so hurt and hated myself that I wanted to take my life. I tried to and I failed to but I am glad I did fail. "Now I'm alive to tell the story, How I've overcome, It's goodness and mercy, and the power of the blood. I'm so glad that my freedom, Wasn't based on what I've done But the goodness and mercy and the power of the blood."]]> 2022-09-12 02:35:03 UTC https://padlet.com/cdotjgb/oiafqw7z9x9eqhi7/wish/2291613094 cdotjgb https://padlet.com/cdotjgb/oiafqw7z9x9eqhi7/wish/2291620823 This song came out in 2011 which is when I was 10 years old. I really didn't know or understand what the song was about because I was only 10 and didn't really understand what love and heartbreak as the song talked about. A little while back, I knew the feeling this song was describing. I had a girlfriend that after we broke up, said we would still be friends, completely cut me off and treat me like the stranger that the song is describing. This turned the song that I did not understand into a song that describes something I went through.]]> 2022-09-12 02:44:18 UTC https://padlet.com/cdotjgb/oiafqw7z9x9eqhi7/wish/2291620823 cdotjgb https://padlet.com/cdotjgb/oiafqw7z9x9eqhi7/wish/2291631065 Back on the relationship side of things, this song showed up on aftermath of my hardest breakup. I had a church job opportunity show up that forced me to pick between the girl I was with and the job. I knew this job was something that God opened the door to but it meant giving up the relationship with this girl. This girl is one of the most amazing human beings and it was really hard to let her go but I felt in my heart that I needed to. I was so happy with her and thought she was going to be the person I marry. We broke up and it was really hard because I didn't want to break up with her. Living a couple of years outside of it, I do not regret what I did and honestly still hope that one day we fix things but I can't stop and look back. While Lil Dicky is talking about rap in this song, I used the church job I got as the analogy. "And that's you (That's you)
And that's true (That's true)
Really wish that I didn't care about you anymore (Care about you anymore)
But I do
What do I do when the rap life
Make a motherfucker choose up in that fight?
Make a young couple do something sad like
Being broke up even though we had life (Had life, had life, had life)"]]> 2022-09-12 02:56:45 UTC https://padlet.com/cdotjgb/oiafqw7z9x9eqhi7/wish/2291631065 cdotjgb https://padlet.com/cdotjgb/oiafqw7z9x9eqhi7/wish/2291652362 Even though I am completely in love with Jesus, I struggle with my past, with anxiety and lies. I start to think that God doesn't love me and that I need to quit doing ministry. This song is my reminder that Jesus is not just my Savior and salvation but He also promises to be with me and be my friend forever. It's so crazy to me that the God of all creation and everything good wants to be my friend. In the midst of my insecurity about everything I have done and will do one day, He never wants to leave. Thank God He never wants to leave me.]]> 2022-09-12 03:23:31 UTC https://padlet.com/cdotjgb/oiafqw7z9x9eqhi7/wish/2291652362 cdotjgb https://padlet.com/cdotjgb/oiafqw7z9x9eqhi7/wish/2291656594 One of my favorite artists of all time is Kanye West. Despite some of his recent controversies, he came out with Jesus is King and Donda which are my two favorite albums from him. He fell in love with Jesus and I am glad he did because he used his platform to write music glorifying God. I liked Kanye before he came with two albums and the song I first think of when I think of Kanye before is Heartless. It is one of his classics and as a kid hearing this song, I used to vibe to this song. This song makes me feel like a kid again and while it isn't about Jesus, it is a fantastic song.]]> 2022-09-12 03:29:11 UTC https://padlet.com/cdotjgb/oiafqw7z9x9eqhi7/wish/2291656594
