These worship songs I'm about to share with you are more than just fun tunes that I jam to in the shower. These are songs that have spoken truth into the places of my heart where I felt hopelessness. When I sing or hear these songs, the atmosphere around me changes, and my circumstances become smaller while my God becomes so much bigger. My hope for you is that you will be undone by the love of Jesus by listening to these songs. So without further ado, here are 10 of my favorite worship songs. (These aren't in any particular order)

1. How He Loves— David Crowder Band

Whenever I need to be reminded of the truth that God truly loves me, I listen to this song. My heart always becomes undone when I realize how much He loves me, and this song displays God's heart so beautifully.

P.S.— "Unforeseen Kiss" is WAY better than "Sloppy Wet Kiss" (for all of you John Mark McMillan fans).



2. Lean Back— Dion Davis

Man, oh, MAN. This song makes me sob.

"Now I can see, your love is better than all the others that I've seen."

This declaration of just how much God loves us is such a banner over my life. This song talks about leaning into the arms of our loving Father and breathing in His goodness that he pours over us.

3. Desert Song— Hillsong Worship

My favorite line of this song is, "All of my life, in every season, you are still God. I have a reason to sing, I have a reason to worship."

These lyrics have been a powerful reminder in my life in so many different seasons. No matter what is happening around me, God is still good and still worthy to be worshiped.

4. We Are Yours— Desperation Band

I remember crying out to Jesus with everything in me while singing this song:

"Jesus, we are yours, we are yours."

Such simple lyrics can have such a huge impact. This truth that we belong to Jesus sets my heart on fire and gives me joy like nothing else.


5. No Longer Slaves— Jonathan David & Melissa Helser

This song. The first time I heard this song, I was completely in shock that there was a song that spoke such truth and identity into my life at that moment. I've never felt more seen and known by God in my entire life. The lyrics "I am no longer a slave to fear, I am a Child of God" have become the anthem of my life. If you struggle with your Identity, take a listen to this song and soak in every word.


6. I Am Free— Desperation Band

This song is a bit on the older side! It's very upbeat and carries so much joy. This song is about finding freedom in following Jesus. There is something that is so powerful when we declare out loud that we are free from the bondage of sin. When we declare these words, the enemy backs down.


7. Out of Hiding— Steffany Gretzinger

This song has such beautiful words that speak the true character of who God is. The first line of this song is "Come out of hiding, you're safe here with me." Every word of this song shows the love in Jesus's heart for His children. It's one of those songs that is best listened to when you close your eyes and quiet the noise in your head. The instrumentals in this song are also incredibly beautiful.


8. Catch the Wind—Jonathan & Melissa Helser

"I am strong and full of life. I am steadfast, no compromise. I lift my sails to the sky, I'm going to catch the wind."

This song is about how God reigns over our disappointments, and he teaches us to dance upon them, even when it's hard.


9. Even When It Hurts—Hillsong UNITED

This song has some raw lyrics. The writers of this song were not afraid to voice what is true about life, and they did such a good job of it. This is a description of the song written by the members of Hillsong United:

"Even When it Hurts is a Praise Song—not exactly in the new-traditional happy-clappy-Sunday-morning sense—no, this is the kind written to sound its loudest in the cold-lonely-silence of the darkest night, or the heart-drenched-desperation of the heaviest of tears. It's a song that finds it's voice in the moments and seasons where to all common sense and logic, to sing, and be thankful for anything at all, let alone sing a song of praise to God, makes no sense at all—when the fight seems lost, and all strength gone with it—when it's hard to even find the words ... this is that kind of praise song."


This last song brings my list to an end. If you find yourself listening to these songs, I assure you something will happen in the atmosphere around you. My hope for you is that this is more than just a list. I hope you find yourself rehearsing the truth of all of these songs in your life—no matter who you are.

10 . Breathe/ What A Friend I've FoundThis mashup of songs gives me such peace when there is overbearing anxiety. I hope it gives you peace too.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
