just like my tattoo says...

as most of you know, my tattoo says "Refine Me." This is a title of a Jennifer Knapp song that I have returned to and reflected on many times during the last 10+ years of my life. Jennifer Knapp, despite her cockiness attitude in the past, has provided the Christian scene with some powerful lyrics, vocals, and guitar. For songs like Refine Me, she literally takes her lyrics straight from the Bible which is awesome to me as someone who would love to write songs but has never been able to very well. I was told something tonight, or actually this morning that hit me hard. It was something I never thought I would hear and this might actually change my life and/or at least my outlook on it. What I thought was good in my life might actually just be a huge facade. After hearing this, I got the itch to hear some Jennifer Knapp. I tried to find a video of her performing Refine Me, but couldn't. So, instead, I am giving you a live performance of A Little More. I had kind of forgotten about this song, but it's kind of ironic and cool that I stumbled across it. Lately, I have realized how much I need to get back to the basics with God and my relationship with Him...get back to what's most important. And, I really just need to humble myself in front of Him. Literally get on my knees and give myself to Him again. I have let some things get in the way of that the last few months...knowing it all along, but not doing anything about it and just continuing to let it happen. He is now showing me that this is not cool anymore. So, now I am up at 2am going over both of these subjects in my head....not worrying, just contemplating what needs to happen as a result. And, thought I would share with you A little more so you can focus on what I think are some powerful lyrics. This is an old performance, like mid-90s I think but still pretty cool....usually she looks a lot cooler than this in person too...Anyway, thanks for listening! :)
