As we all may know, college is one of the most expensive investment that we would ever make as a young adult.. I've been very nervous about money issues lately, I'm sure that most of us seniors who are going to some sort of a CSU or UC are a bit iffy about money. College is already expensive, it hasn't even started yet either. Paying for the most ridiculous things, such as accepting a college is another $102, just signing up for room and board is another $300. They really make it feel like money grows out of trees. On top of college expenses, senior events is another issue. Prom costs around the triple digits which might affect my participation to other senior events. I really don't know what to do.
*As I planted two head phones into my ears, I randomly chose a song "Kindness" by Chris Tomlin on my mp3 player. For some kind of a reason, the acoustic guitar alone allows me to meditate easier. I become oblivious to all that's surrounding me. I close my eyes and being my search looking for God. I usually can't feel His presence at an instance. But this time the soft wind blew against me and I felt God's presence tugging my heart& holding me. And for some sort of a reason, I feel a lot better. I get onto the bus and I realize that I became distracted, several passengers were conversing with one another. And I decided to turn up the volume. I then realize that this situation was similar to my spiritual life. When I was outside waiting for the bus, I wasn't distracted. And it's easier to find God this way. But as there's distractions, I tend to not be able to see him as clearly as I can. But once we realize that we lost focus with God we try to ask God to come back into our lives and God again becomes the center of our lives.
*-sorry about the horrible grammar, etc. I haven't had time to proofread. I just wanted to get the message across, because God is wonderful & works in miraculous ways.

maybe you should open your eyes and God's beautiful manifested in people around you on the bus. spirituality becomes overrated when we remove God from the profane and the everyday.
but then again, finding God in secret--in the mind--is an art and I admire that.
Amazing to know that you're maturing more and more in Christ. =) Worshiping God is definitely a good experience.
I agree with what Nat says too, but that really have to depend on the situation. For me sometimes worships songs helps, sometime it can be a distraction itself (weird huh).
College is expensive, but you can also get so much out of it as well. :D
Yes, it does feel as if money grows on trees sometimes, but there is always a Provider.
It's cool that you can use music.
But, responding to other people we need to ask the real question is it really a worship song? What is worship because quite frankly it isn't being done very well in the church today! It's more like we are singing to ourselves.
It's YOUR kindness LORD that makes MEEEEEEE stand in silence. Hmmm...
