Hi InTheTimes.com Girls!
ZOEgirl is truly one of my favorite groups of all time! I'm currently listening to the single "Reason to Live" originally from the Room to Breathe album and recently re-released on The Ultimate Collection 2-disc set. It's a great upbeat Pop-Rock power anthem, that really gets you going for the day!
My fav lyrics? This is such a great song so it's hard to decide! "I won't give up, I won't give in / I'm ready for my life to start again / I won't back down, I'll stand my ground / The time is now to show the love I've found / I've got a reason to breathe, I've got the freedom to stand / The future is mine, I'll give it all I can / To break down the walls that hold me in / It's my reason to live"
When you make the personal decision to seriously follow the LORD, He gives you the strength to stand up to whatever twists and turns life may bring! You can smile at the future because you know that God has truly given you a 'reason to live' !

Blessings! RUTH

YOU GET ME
"Growing up I was always looking for somewhere to fit in. I longed for acceptance and a place to belong. It always seemed like the harder I tried, the more I was let down.
After I became a Christian, my focus changed drastically. I discovered a whole other side of life through Jesus. It was then that I realized how temporary this world is and how permanent eternity is. I found myself less concerned with fitting in with the world and more concerned with belonging to God.
God is truly the only one who knows my thoughts before I think them. He's the only one who knew every day of my life before I even took my first breath. No one else but God could ever love me and accept me for who I am the way that He can. He's the only one who gets me."

BEAUTIFUL NAME
"We wanted to write a song that boldly states our mission as Christians. Beautiful Name is meant to get people excited about their faith and to challenge and encourage Christians in their walk with Christ.
This is a song that every Christian, no matter what denomination, can stand behind and agree with. The words of this song are a constant reminder to us of why we are here today. We have a calling on this earth and for the sake of the name of Jesus; we will stop at nothing until it is fulfilled."
INSIDE OUT
"This is a fun and light song, with an encouraging message of inner beauty. It shows a girl, who once only saw her worth in her outside appearance, beginning to discover the amazing qualities and gifts God has given her on the inside.
God has made us all with unique talents and personalities. It's those beautiful qualities within us that make us who we are meant to be. The outside will fade, but what's inside of us stays. At the end of the day, that's all that matters."
DEAD SERIOUS
"Over the years, we have met so many kids who are undeniably sold out for God. They're leading Bible studies and prayer meetings after school and influencing others everywhere they go. Their roots are strong and they aren't afraid to tell anyone about Who and what they believe in.
However, it's not always easy being the only Christian at school or work. People can be brutal when they don't relate or understand something and sadly, these Christian kids often find themselves being laughed at or getting made fun of for their beliefs.
Dead Serious is a fun song that communicates a strong message of encouragement for the kids who sometimes feel left out for standing up for Christ and making the right choices in life."
