Name Change…

As you may have noticed (if anyone is even reading this) I have changed the name of my blog.

There are a few reasons one being that www.affectivecommunication.net was getting ready to expire and was alot to type and a mouth full to say.

So, why “I’m Used”? first of all it’s shorter to say and type and easier to remember. But mainly because it’s something I love to be. I absolutely love to be used by God. I try to always allow myself to be used when, where and however He may choose to. I wish I could say I am obedient enough that it happens every day but I mess it all up a lot of the time. But when it all works out it can be an amazing thing. I hope you have or do experience what it’s like to be used.

New Favorite Band

redI just heard “Death of Me” from Red. What an amazing sound and the video for the song is a punch in the chest!!! Thanks Pete for posting about them. Check it out here:

The message in the video is such an amazing representation of how we really are. The chorus says:

You tear me down and then you pick me up,
You take it all and still it’s not enough,
You try to tell me you can heal me,
But I’m still bleeding and you’ll be
The death of me!

This is exactly what we do to ourselves left to our own devices. With out the guidance and instruction through Christ we will be the death of ourselves.
