Words to Live by in my Life Today
Proverbs 3:
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.
AND
Zechariah 4:6
So he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty.

Top Ten Tuesday
Top Ten Books On My Fall 2013 TBR List (you could do top ten fall releases you plan on reading or just your planned reading list)
I almost feel disqualified for this having so much required reading and little leisure reading due to the 19 hours I'm taking. Most of my courses opt out of books in favor of posting PDF articles on various topics. I have a few things at home like Fare and Casual Vacancy as well as a library of non-fictions I occasionally peruse, but mostly I'm stuck with coursework. Learning to read music means going in-depth into the sheet music for the pieces my teacher and I have chosen for voice and the pieces for choir.
Word of the Lord: "Stop worrying and start doing. I'll meet you. (There are times to wait and times to go.)"

Visualize Reading
I had to answer this one because of the topic. When I was young, I definitely read to escape. Upon reading the title and the author, I already had a feel of where I was going. When I read the first page, I was immediately enveloped in another world. Like the Pagemaster, I stepped through the book into a forest or a medieval castle and became the characters in the story or interacted with them. The word "visualization" does not quite describe the transformation I underwent with each reading. While the same is true today, I have less time to read, and I take the time that I can to disappear into a world of someone else's making, melding it with my own and with my own character.

Lindsay Rae - "[Keep Trying] Maybe"
Can't figure out from which part of my soul springs forth singing. Until I do, no one will get it and I will be sad.
