Three Year Anniversay

So I didn't always like Hunter Hayes. There was a time I hated him. His songs "sucked" and he was just too "ugly" he looked like Justin Bieber which was what everyone said. But something changed my mind...
3 years ago I got the privilege to go to San Antonio Texas with my dad for his work. On the way down of course we had to sleep in hotels and every night we would get to one at like seven thirty, eight o'clock. To me, that was a little early to be going to bed so I decided to stay up on my tablet and watch YouTube videos. I had heard of this country music star named Hunter Hayes who was basically the "country Justin Bieber" and I had already made up my mind that I hated him. For some weird reason I just had to check him out though because I knew some people liked him and I had to know why. When I searched him up, this video that said For The Love Of Music episode 53 came up so I clicked on it.

It started playing, I thought he actually didn't look that bad as I had thought before when I saw a picture of him. The video was about the making of the Everybody's Got Somebody But Me music video. There was something about his personality that really got me. Even though it was a short little clip, he had me falling. There were more For Love Of Music that showed up so I clicked on the next one which was actually the one before it because the one I had just watched was the newest one. I learnt as I kept clicking and watching them that they were just a weekly "webisode" that just said what was going on with Hunter. His sweetness and his personality in general was great. I had never seen another guy like him. I started listening to his music and it was so great. His songs were always so sweet, always love songs (and some break up songs) but they just make you feel it. They make you gush. As we were driving we saw a billboard with him on it and I kind of freaked out. My dad didn't know what to think of that. Some random picture of a guy and his 12 year old daughter is screaming over him. Also we drove through a state that he was playing in which made me think I was so cool being in the same state as Hunter. When I got back home from San Antonio I was really liking him. I was too embarrassed to tell anyone because I already had announced to everyone that I hated him. It took some time to finally let it out and when I did, people wished I had never heard of him. To this day I won't shut up about him. But that is because he has inspired me to try out music and after I did, I just have to learn the most instruments I can. He has wrote songs that meant so much to me, that taught me something through just one line. He has made me laugh like there is no tomorrow. His sweetness and kindness just warms your heart. His love for music is makes me smile. He is quite handsome, but of course all of you can see that. Hunter is just all around an amazing guy. I am so happy that he is now a part of my everyday life because it has made my life so much more exciting. It has brought me joy and sadness like anything does. My love for Hunter has got me a really good friend. I really don't know what I would do without him.

 

 



So Hunter, I love you. Keep being awesome, keep being a great inspiration, keep writing great music. I will always be a fan.
I hope this story made you laugh because it sure made me laugh when I was writing it. I hope you all give Hunter a listen at some point. His music is all clean so any song is good.
God bless you all, thanks for reading, and keep being awesome!

Don't Hide It

Hello my people. I hope you are all doing well. We got snow here where I live so we are just trying to stay warm. I must say, I am liking the snow so far but I probably won't be saying that when it is still here in March.
So I was scrolling through my Pinterest feed and came across this quote,

Some might live for Him in private because they are scared, others are embarrassed. But, was Jesus scared and embarrassed to show His love for you?

People might hate on you or make fun of you but they are missing out on what you have. You are living for a Saviour who died for you so that you don't have to go to hell but instead go to Heaven. They are living for themselves and themselves only. So don't be scared to share about Jesus. Don't be scared to work for Him. Making God happy and proud of you means much more than getting praise from others because they can't give you what God gives you. Jesus wasn't always popular when He was on earth so there will be no difference when we do. The Christian life isn't about gaining followers. It is about living for our Father in Heaven. It is about praising Him for what He has done. It is about always striving to be like Jesus. It is about being His child and obeying His will which includes telling others about Him.
So share your faith boldly. Not yelling, but meaning all what you say and stand by it.
God bless you all and keep living for Jesus!

Unperfect Yet Flawless

Hey guys! I only have one follower, which is my mom, but when I get more everyone needs to feel included so I will say guys. I hope you are all doing great when you read this. But if you aren't doing the best, this should cheer you up because it sure did that for me.
There is this song from MercyMe called Flawless and at first I didn't really care for it but, then I watched the music video and learned this song is so beautiful.
God, because of His great grace and love for us, made us who believe in Him flawless. We have a clean slate according to Him. Even though we filthy rotten sinners and don't deserve to be even thought about as white as snow from anyone let alone God, that is what He calls us and sees us as. It doesn't matter what you have done, where you have been, when you call on God's name, He will call you flawless.

“Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.

Isaiah 1:18

 

In the music video when the paint is all over them, they show what they were like before they had God as their Saviour, a dirty mess. Then during the whole thing the paint starts coming off until it is all off and they are wearing white clothes which resembles what happened when they received Christ.
So give it a listen, it is a great song. Thank you MercyMe doing such a great song!

Hello, This is Me

Hi there,
My name is Rebekah. As you can tell from the name of my blog you kind of know what I am like.
I love God. I became a Christian when I was six and I got baptized in January of 2015. I am dedicated to Him because if He loved me enough to die for my sin, why shouldn't I live for Him? I love reading my Bible and finding out new things in it. I really enjoy going to youth group and listening to the awesome sermons the youth pastor does. Because of all of that, I am going to base my blog mostly about God and what I have been learning about Him.
Also, I LOVE country music. As long as the song isn't talking about beer, wrong stuff, and doesn't have any cuss words, I will buy it and play it on repeat. I love the newer stuff, older stuff is alright just not my taste. My favorite singer, a.k.a. my husband that just doesn't know it yet, is Hunter Hayes. Actually today, November 25 of 2015, is the 3 year anniversary of me talking about Hunter every single day and dreaming about our future. Of course God has already planned out my husband but a girl can dream, right? A thing I love about Hunter is that he is clean. You can listen to his music and not be scared of what you might hear. He is just a sweet boy with the greatest personality in the world and a bonus, he is great looking. ;) So this will be the other thing I will talk about every so often because music is very important to me.
The other thing I will babble about is just life. Or what is on my mind. I like to talk about nothing and everything under the sun. If I had the chance and someone let me, I would talk to a person all day long. So that is another thing you guys will hear on here.
Quick facts about me: I am a 15 year old girl. I am homeschooled with my brothers. I play 7 instruments, ukulele, violin, piano, drums, guitar, mandolin, accordion, and I want to pick up harmonica. I hate pink. I think I love shopping but I don't. I do love clothes though. I live in Canada and love it. The only thing I don't love about it is that a world tour doesn't actually mean we will be a part of it. My family consist of my dad and mom and two younger brothers. We live in the country with a dog, cat, 2 mini donkeys, and a pumpkin patch. Oh and, I am a Pinterest addict. Here is my link for y'all who want to check it out - https://www.pinterest.com/number1Hayniac/
So there you have it! That is me. Thanks for taking time to even read all of that.
God bless you y'all, have a great day or night wherever you are, and keep being awesome!
Rebekah
