Spiritual Gifts (A Special Post)

Hello my loves! It's been a minute, hasn't it? Well, here we are, over a year of doing this blog and I send a big "Thank you" to all of you who have been following me from the very beginning, and to those who just joined in, welcome! Well, this is the first time I won't be posting a song analysis or a writing of mine, but rather this is an event I experienced today and just got back from. I have something quite wonderful to share with you, actually.

SO...
The other day one of my RA(resident assistants) posted on our floor FB page and asked if anyone would be interested in going to this Prism Women: Gift event and I had absolutely no clue what that meant, so out of curiosity, I looked at the description to find that this event would help reveal to me what my spiritual gift/s was/are to me and I would be lead by women who are more experienced in knowledge of their own spiritual gifts. 

BY THE WAY...The twelve motivational spiritual gifts are administrator, apostle, evangelist, exhorter(encourager), giver, helper, leader, mercy(comforter), prophets, server, shepherd, and teacher...

Any who, I went to the event today and got to worship, take a general assessment of what my spiritual gift is and then a more specific assessment that helped me to see my top gift. My main spiritual gifts are Helper at number one, and then Mercy, and it is crazy how much I learned today. I learned my downfalls and best qualities of my gifts, as well as how to use that gift to serve others and the Lord. 

Here's the coolest part though that I experienced, I had women with the gift of prophecy and encouragement speak over me and tell me what they heard God speak to their hearts about me. They lifted me up in prayer and I got to hear other testimonies from other women who have discovered their spiritual gifts as well. All the while, God was working so diligently on and in my heart that when the song "No Longer Slaves" was played for a short worship session, I was unable to even sing, I was so choked up and moved by the spirit of God working in my heart, telling me that I am a child of God and the chains I have been bound by are most certainly breakable, and he's going to break them and free me! 

Something else pretty cool was hearing one woman speak in tongues in a prayer over broken marriages, and another translate her speaking to "Grace grace grace grace grace", basically that grace is the answer to the problems in this one woman's marriage, and that when she shows her husband grace and love for how he is in his broken state, he will come before the Lord and bow and worship and praise His name.

All this wonderful stuff happened and it was really cool and I learned a lot, but the best part for me was simply the moving and working of God in my heart and mind and spirit, and just feeling His presence there with me to comfort me and guide me and assure me of His love for me. To know the truth of his love for me and how valuable I am to Him is so important, and if you don't know what your spiritual gift is, I so encourage you to find out what it may be and how you can use that to advance the kingdom and serve the Lord. I can assure you, it's one of the best choices you could ever make. <3

Thank you for reading this my dearies. I know it's different than my usual posts, but I felt the need to share what God is doing in my heart and I hope this has encouraged you to lay down you burdens before God and let him break your chains. Discover what He has for you, friends. You have a gift and a purpose; you were made for this.

Magnify

Well hello dearies! I did say I'd be back soon, didn't I? And so here I am! There's a wonderful song I'd like to share with you called "Magnify" by the band We Are Messengers. I saw them at a concert festival back in August while I was still in Michigan and I hope I can see them again soon while I'm here in Arizona. Now I'm gonna be honest, that was the first I had really heard of this band, and now their song "Magnify" has become very quickly one of my new favorite songs. So here's my little analysis on what this song says.

Magnify by We Are Messengers
V1:
I've been trying to make sense of the sorrow that I feel
Holding on for life to the only thing that's real
I've only scratched the surface, I've barely had a taste
But just a glimpse draws my heart to change
And one sight of you lays my sin to waste
I don't need to see everything, just more of you

Chorus:

Take it all, take it all away
Magnify no other name
Open up, open up my eyes
To you

Take it all, take it all away
Magnify no other name
Open up, open up my eyes
To you

V2:

My sight is incomplete and I've made you look small
I've been staring at my problems for way too long
Re-align where my hope is set, until you're all that's left
But just a glimpse draws my heart to change
And one sight of you lays my sin to waste
I don't need to see everything, just more of you

Chorus:

Take it all, take it all away
Magnify no other name
Open up, open up my eyes
To you

Take it all, take it all away
Magnify no other name
Open up, open up my eyes
To you

~Oh God, be greater than the worries in my life
Be stronger than the weakness in my mind
Be louder, let your Glory come alive
Be magnified

God be greater than the worries in my life
Be stronger than the weakness in my mind
Be louder, let your Glory come alive
Be magnified
Be magnified~

Chorus:

Take it all, take it all away
Magnify no other name
Open up, open up my eyes
To you

Take it all, take it all away
Magnify no other name
Open up, open up my eyes
To you, to you



Now for the overall theme, I see very clearly the repetition of God becoming greater, and that's really the most important thing to take away from this song. Making God the biggest part of your life is the best thing you can do for your life. Because when He becomes greater, and we become less, our lives are much more joyful because we know who we're serving and living for. I'm not saying life is always easier and happier, but it's always worth it and it is so much more fulfilling to serve God and Magnify HIS name over ours.

Now to break it down to the verses...

V1:
I've been trying to make sense of the sorrow that I feel
Holding on for life to the only thing that's real
I've only scratched the surface, I've barely had a taste
But just a glimpse draws my heart to change
And one sight of you lays my sin to waste
I don't need to see everything, just more of you

V2:
My sight is incomplete and I've made you look small
I've been staring at my problems for way too long
Re-align where my hope is set, until you're all that's left
But just a glimpse draws my heart to change
And one sight of you lays my sin to waste
I don't need to see everything, just more of you


The verses show such an honest view of our broken human nature of feeling sorrow and making God smaller by focusing on our problems. But both times the verses draw to how just a glimpse of God's glory can change our hearts and draw us away from our sinful selves. And I love the line "I don't need to see everything, Just more of you," because so often I find myself searching and searching to see every little detail of the plan that God has for me, but it's not all about knowing everything and every cause and for every reason why God does what God does, but just letting Him reign supreme and rule our hearts, and minds, and spirits, and lives by having the control to just be God. We don't need to see everything, so long as we see more of Him.

Now the Bridge and Chorus...

~Oh God, be greater than the worries in my life
Be stronger than the weakness in my mind
Be louder, let your Glory come alive
Be magnified

God be greater than the worries in my life
Be stronger than the weakness in my mind
Be louder, let your Glory come alive
Be magnified
Be magnified~

Chorus:

Take it all, take it all away
Magnify no other name
Open up, open up my eyes
To you

Take it all, take it all away
Magnify no other name
Open up, open up my eyes
To you, to you



This is my prayer. This is absolutely what is on my heart. That God becomes greater than my personal worry and anxiety in my life, that He becomes stronger than the weakness I feel from my depression that holds me back, and that He becomes louder and more magnified throughout all aspects of my life. This is my prayer and I can't pray  it enough. It is my prayer for you, my friends, and for myself as well. That through all I say and think and do in this life, God is magnified and glorified and no other name is lifted high but His and His alone. 

So I pray for you, whoever is reading this, that God becomes magnified in your life and you make Him the priority. And I pray for myself as well, that I remember who's supposed to be in the center and who is in control here. Please, friends, remember who is in control and who holds you together. Give all praise back to Him because He is so worthy and may He be magnified in all of our lives. 

Thanks for reading and have a splendid day, my friends.

Chain Breaker

Hiya sweethearts! Long time no post! Well, It's only been a month, but my goodness so much has happened to me in the past month that I felt the need to update you all on what goes on in the life of Abby Lynn.

For starters, I moved to Arizona for school, I turned 21, and I had another song hit me hard in the heart. Oh my word, friends. God is just so good. It's been a struggle to deal with the changes of moving as I have been sick with a cold for over a week, and I'm struggling to shake this sickness. But let me tell you about my God... He has given me opportunities to be active at Hillsong Phoenix on the creative team. He has given me wonderful people around me to help me adjust to the new life here in AZ. He has given me wonderful people back at home to love me from afar and show me constant love and support. He has given me all I need so far to be successful. Even through the sickness, I've been pushing through and trying to be productive while trying to rest up and feel better. Now let me be honest here, there sure has been a lot of spiritual warfare going on because Satan just can't help but attack God's children when we are more vulnerable to his threats and attacks. But let me, once again, tell you about my God, and also lead into the song analysis for this post... My God? He's incredible. He's supportive, strong, loving, all-powerful, all-knowing, and always good. And no matter what the devil does to try and chain me down, my God is a chain breaker. So here's "Chain Breaker" by Zach Williams.

Chain Breaker by: Zach Williams
V1:
If you’ve been walking the same old road for miles and miles
If you’ve been hearing the same old voice tell the same old lies
If you’re trying to fill the same old holes inside
There’s a better life
There’s a better life

Chorus:

If you’ve got pain
He’s a pain taker
If you feel lost
He’s a way maker
If you need freedom or saving
He’s a prison-shaking Savior
If you’ve got chains
He’s a chain breaker

V2:

We’ve all search for the light of day in the dead of night
We’ve all found ourselves worn out from the same old fight
We’ve all run to things we know just ain't right
And there’s a better life
There’s a better life 


Chorus:
If you’ve got pain
He’s a pain taker
If you feel lost
He’s a way maker
If you need freedom or saving
He’s a prison-shaking Savior
If you’ve got chains
He’s a chain breaker

~If you believe it
If you receive it
If you can feel it
Somebody testify~


Chorus:
If you’ve got pain
He’s a pain taker
If you feel lost
He’s a way maker
If you need freedom or saving
He’s a prison-shaking Savior
If you’ve got chains
He’s a chain breaker


The main theme, I feel, is that no matter what your situation or circumstance, no matter your pain or hurt, no matter your chains that hold you down, our God is stronger than it all. He's a good God and He's gonna break those chains that have held you down all this time. He is so so SO good.

Now let's break it down to the verses...

V1:
If you’ve been walking the same old road for miles and miles
If you’ve been hearing the same old voice tell the same old lies
If you’re trying to fill the same old holes inside
There’s a better life
There’s a better life


V2:

We’ve all search for the light of day in the dead of night
We’ve all found ourselves worn out from the same old fight
We’ve all run to things we know just ain't right
And there’s a better life
There’s a better life 


The verses show the struggle that we all face. We've all gone through the motions and listened to lies of a voice that is not of God. We've all kept fighting to fill ourselves with something to bring us fulfillment and we've come to a loss because, if we look to fill ourselves with anything other than God, we're still empty and left searching. But the verses conclude with this hope. There is hope because you don't have to keep searching and remaining empty. We have something that can fill us and satisfy our longing for love. God has all we need, my friends. God IS all we need.

And now let me share the bridge and the chorus...

~If you believe it
If you receive it
If you can feel it
Somebody testify~


Chorus:
If you’ve got pain
He’s a pain taker
If you feel lost
He’s a way maker
If you need freedom or saving
He’s a prison-shaking Savior
If you’ve got chains
He’s a chain breaker.


You see that? If you got pain, HE IS A PAIN TAKER. You lost? HE IS A WAY MAKER. In need of freedom or saving, well friends, OUR GOD IS A PRISON-SHAKING SAVIOR. And you get bet that if you've got chains holding you down, just give it all to Him because HE IS A CHAIN BREAKER. But now I ask this of you. If you know this to be true, don't keep it to yourself. If you know this to be true, go out and testify. Share your findings with others, tell the story of the chains that God has broken in your life, and if He is still breaking those chains, or you're wondering why He hasn't set you free yet, maybe you need to surrender to Him first. That's step one. Give your heart to Him and surrender whatever holds you don't and I know He will set you free. How do I know this? Well, He's a good God. He's a strong God. He's a faithful God. And HE'S A CHAIN BREAKING GOD.

Please take time to let this truth sink in if you're in the valley of your fears right now. Embrace the grace of God, my friends, and know that He just wants to set you free. May you have a splendid rest of your day, and week, and I'm sure I'll be back real soon. :)

No Longer Slaves

What's up, buttercups? I wanted to bring to light a wonderful song that has been on my heart lately as I get ready to make some big changes and head to GCU in Arizona in about 19 days! Now, I think we can all agree that change can be a scary thing, so that's where this song comes into play. See, God didn't give us a spirit of timidity and fear, we are to do His will and walk free from sin and shame and death and fear as we follow in the footsteps of His love. So here is a song called "No Longer Slaves". I hope ya like it :)

No Longer Slaves by: Bethel Music
V1: You unravel me with a melody
You surround me with a song
Of deliverance from my enemies
'Til all my fears are gone

[Chorus x2]
I'm no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God

V2: From my mother's womb
You have chosen me
Love has called my name
I've been born again
Into your family
Your blood flows through my veins

[Chorus x4]
I'm no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God

~Bridge: You split the sea
So I could walk right through it
My fears were drowned in perfect love
You rescued me
And I could stand and sing
I am a child of God...

You split the sea
So I could walk right through it
You drowned my fears in perfect love
You rescued me
And I will stand and sing
I am a child of God~

[Ending]

Yes, I am
I am a child of God
I am a child of God
Yes, I am
I am a child of God
Full of faith
Yes, I am a child of God
I am a child of God


Okay, so you know that drill, and if ya don't, here's the drill: Let's analyze this song overall at first, and then break it down by verse. So for starters, my overall message that I'm hearing repeated over and over again is how we are CHILDREN OF GOD. Like, we are children of the creator of thbe universe, breather of stars, Lord of Lords-- He is our Heavenly Father and because of this, there is no reason why we should be held captive to fear and sin any longer. He breaks our chains and sets us free from fear. What. A. God. Am I right?

So now that we have an overall summary, let's check out the verses...

V1: You unravel me with a melody
You surround me with a song
Of deliverance from my enemies
'Til all my fears are gone

V2: From my mother's womb
You have chosen me
Love has called my name
I've been born again
Into your family
Your blood flows through my veins

First thing to note here is God's faithfulness to deliver us from our enemies. He is a faithful God who promises to love and protect us and here we see that we have a "song of deliverance" from our enemies that sets us free from our fears. Our God is so good and s faithful to deliver us safely. The second thing to note in the verses is how God calls us as His children. He doesn't just look at us as a number, but He calls us individually, BY NAME, as His chosen children. We are His and His alone. Death has no sting, sin has no power, and fear no longer rules us because we are chosen by Him. The final thing I noted is that we are not only delivered and chosen by God, but we are also new creations because of Him. He loves us so much, that He takes are old sinful selves and cleanses us and frees us from sin. "So there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus."-Romans 8:1(NLT) Boom. There it is. We are free from our sins and free from death and free from ALL condemnation because we belong to Him now. How AMAZING is that? No past, present, or future sin can seperate you from the God who called you because you have been delivered and made new.

Now we're gonna clump the chorus and ending together...

[Chorus]
I'm no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God

[Ending]
Yes, I am
I am a child of God
I am a child of God
Yes, I am
I am a child of God
Full of faith
Yes, I am a child of God
I am a child of God


In case you weren't reassured yet or didn't know it yet, you're a child of God. You are loved and chosen by Him to be a part of His family. And because of this, you are free from your past slavery to fear. You have been set free.

And finally let's look at the bridge (AKA: My favorite part)...

~Bridge: You split the sea
So I could walk right through it
My fears were drowned in perfect love
You rescued me
And I could stand and sing
I am a child of God...

You split the sea
So I could walk right through it
You drowned my fears in perfect love
You rescued me
And I will stand and sing
I am a child of God~

How crazy awesome is our God? That He splits the sea for us, and covers our fears in His perfect love, and rescues us and makes us Hid very own children!! Our God is a loving God and a personal God, He is not distant and far away, but He is right here for us whenever we need us. He's only a prayer away, and friends, please remember how loved you are by Him. Calling you by name, choosing you for His family, saving you by sacrificing His only begotten son-- These are not the actions of a distant and hateful God, but by THE GOD OF THE UNIVERSE. King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Maker of Heaven and Earth, the one who loves like no other and you know what? HE LOVES YOU. He loves you so much, He just wants you to be a part of His family, my dear friends. Please remember that.

Well there you have it. I pray you all have a wonderful night and I'll hopefully post again soon :) 
Love always, Abby Lynn

Come Home

Hello there lovelies. It's me again. It's been quite some time since I last wrote, but I thought I would give a quick update on life and I rediscovered a wonderful song I thought I'd share with you all. SO basically, I'm just getting ready to go to school in Arizona in the fall at Grand Canyon University and I'm super excited about it. But Ya see, I've been feeling kinda distant from God lately. I haven't been getting out of bed very well, I haven't been praying and spending as much one on one time with Him, and I just haven't had my heart in my days anymore. Though I am aware that I can't spend my whole life living ina spiritual high, as nice as it would be to always be that happy and joyful, I still have been getting pretty beat up by my depression and the rest of what's been going on in my life. So I found this song today on one of my playlists and I haven't heard it in a while, but it's a very relevant song and a great reminder of who God is and how He loves me. This song is Called "Come Home" by a band named Luminate. I hope you like it.

Come Home by: Luminate
V1: You're best friends with the word regret
You're afraid that your life's been wasted
So why hope if it's only gonna let you down?

You don't think people really change
You're a mess and you'll always be the same
And you doubt if you'll ever get it turned around

Chorus: So you've been running, searching for something
But you're looking in a place you don't belong
But it's never too late, you can't outrun grace
No, mercy doesn't care what you've done
So come home
So come home

V2: You can try to fix your broken empire
Put bricks on a cracked foundation
But you'll be building castles on the sand

There's power in the blood of Jesus
Your father's screaming just come home
And he's reaching out His hands

Chorus: I know you been running, searching for something
But you're looking in a place you don't belong
Well, it's never too late, you can't outrun grace
No, mercy doesn't care what you've done
So come home
So come home

Bridge: From the shadows, from the wrong roads
From the darkness, from the unknown
To redemption, something beautiful
To a new love, to a new home

Chorus: I know you been running, searching for something
But you're looking in a place you don't belong
And it's never too late, you can't outrun grace
No, mercy doesn't care what you've done
So come home
So come home


So first, overall summary of the song. It's pretty much about how we've wandered astray and have become distant from God and how, no matter what we've done, God still wants to take us back and have us return home to Him.
And here's the break down and we're gonna start with the verses...

V1: You're best friends with the word regret
You're afraid that your life's been wasted
So why hope if it's only gonna let you down?



You don't think people really change
You're a mess and you'll always be the same
And you doubt if you'll ever get it turned around

V2: You can try to fix your broken empire
Put bricks on a cracked foundation
But you'll be building castles on the sand

There's power in the blood of Jesus
Your father's screaming just come home
And he's reaching out His hands

Verse 1 is what I'm calling "The relateable intoduction" because I feel like many of us can relate to this first verse. It's so easy to get caught up in life and the mistakes we make just trying to figure out what we're doing and ya know, that's how we lose track of God in our instablity. But here's something good: Even though we lose track and can give up on God, He doesn't do that to us and He NEVER will. And that's what we see in Verse 2. My very favorite part of the whole song is the second part of Verse 2 where it says "There's power in the blood of Jesus,  and your Father's screaming 'Just come home!' He's reaching out His hands." I think that's a perfect picture of what God does for us. We have been made new because we belong to Him and He calls out to us. Not even that, he SCREAMS out to us to just...come home to Him. I think that paints a beautiful scene in my head of the story of the prodigal son, but in my head it's me. I'm the one who ran away, and then there's God running out to me and reaching out His hands to welcome me back home again.
Now for the bridge and Chorus...

Come home...

Bridge: From the shadows, from the wrong roads
From the darkness, from the unknown
To redemption, something beautiful
To a new love, to a new home

Chorus: I know you been running, searching for something
But you're looking in a place you don't belong
And it's never too late, you can't outrun grace
No, mercy doesn't care what you've done
So come home
So come home

How great is it to know how much love our Father up in Heaven has for us, that though we've strayed and wandered from Him, we can NEVER outrun His grace and mercy and love that never ends. From our darkness and and our mistakes, we can still go home to the redemption and love of our God. When we've realized we've gone astray and have done wrong, the best possible thing we can to is go back to God and confess to Him how we have strayed and He welcomes us back with open arms. Don't stay in your darkness anymore, my friends! It's not always the easiest thing to do, but going back to God is the best thing you could ever do. The smartest choice I have ever made, by far, was choosing to chase after God and run home to Him. His love is the only thing that can fully statisfy out hearts, and this is a lesson that I may have to keep learning over and over again throughout my life, but it's one of the most important lessons I've learned for sure. Make God your number one. And when you've fallen away from Him, please don't forget that He always calls you back home. You just need to listen to Him.

Well there ya have it, folks. That's my insight on how I've been feeling and what I feel this song tells me. I hope you all have a wonderful day and rememeber, Jesus loves you :)

Just Be Held

Hey sweetie pies,
In light of situations taking place in my life right now, I've felt led to share this song with you. This is a song by Casting Crowns titled "Just Be Held" and I think it's a song we could all stand to take a word of advice from. So here's another song analysis! I hope you enjoy it...


Just Be Held by: Casting Crowns
Hold it all together
Everybody needs you strong
But life hits you out of nowhere
And barely leaves you holding on

And when you're tired of fighting
Chained by your control
There's freedom in surrender
Lay it down and let it go

So when you're on your knees and answers seem so far away
You're not alone, stop holding on and just be held
Your world's not falling apart, it's falling into place
I'm on the throne, stop holding on and just be held
Just be held, just be held

If your eyes are on the storm
You'll wonder if I love you still
But if your eyes are on the cross
You'll know I always have and I always will

And not a tear is wasted
In time, you'll understand
I'm painting beauty with the ashes
Your life is in My hands

So when you're on your knees and answers seem so far away
You're not alone, stop holding on and just be held
Your worlds not falling apart, its falling into place
I'm on the throne, stop holding on and just be held
Just be held, just be held

Lift your hands, lift your eyes
In the storm is where you'll find Me
And where you are, I'll hold your heart
I'll hold your heart
Come to Me, find your rest
In the arms of the God who won't let go

So when you're on your knees and answers seem so far away
You're not alone, stop holding on and just be held
Your worlds not falling apart, its falling into place
I'm on the throne, stop holding on and just be held
Just be held, just be held, just be held, just be held


The overall theme for the song is about just sitting in your situation and praying and knowing that God has got full control. There's no need to worry about everything so much, just let it go and just be held by God and sit in His presence. He's got this. 
Now a breakdown starting with the verses...

V1: Hold it all together
Everybody needs you strong
But life hits you out of nowhere
And barely leaves you holding on


And when you're tired of fighting
Chained by your control
There's freedom in surrender
Lay it down and let it go


V2: If your eyes are on the storm
You'll wonder if I love you still
But if your eyes are on the cross
You'll know I always have and I always will

And not a tear is wasted
In time, you'll understand
I'm painting beauty with the ashes
Your life is in My hands


Here we see the struggle of life meeting God's promises and God's love. We always seem to think that we need to keep everything held inside and held together because the world and those in it need us to be strong, but it's okay to break down and fall into the arms of Jesus. Let him love you and hold you and just be with you through it all. And through the trials we face in life, just knowing that He has a beautiful plan for you, and that he's making something wonderful out of your disaster, that is so special to have that. There is power in your weakness and freedom in your surrender so just give it all to God.
Next, there's the bridge we'll look at...

Lift your hands, lift your eyes
In the storm is where you'll find Me
And where you are, I'll hold your heart
I'll hold your heart
Come to Me, find your rest
In the arms of the God who won't let go

This section just shares how God can be found in the middle of our struggles and pain and how he will hold us close and protect our hearts so we can rest in His strong arms and be comforted by His unfailing love.
And finally my favorite part of this song is the chorus...

So when you're on your knees and answers seem so far away
You're not alone, stop holding on and just be held
Your worlds not falling apart, its falling into place
I'm on the throne, stop holding on and just be held
Just be held, just be held

As I've been saying the whole time, just being still and being held by God can make all the difference in a situation. He is a healer and a lover and a picker-upper and he will put you back together, I know it. My favorite part is "Your world's not falling apart, it's falling into place" and that has been so relevant in my life. Being completely honest, I had an emotional breakdown yesterday and I honestly just needed to let God hold me for a while. I just threw myself down onto my knees and lifted my arms and cried out to God to hold me and He so did. He does a pretty good job of being there when I need Him ;) 

So this is what has been going on in my life since my last post, though it was only two days ago, it's amazing what can happen that gives you moments of realization of what's important. And what's important that I am telling you all, don't be ashamed to call on God when you need Him. He loves us so so SO incredibly much that He WANTS us to come to Him when we are broken. He WANTS us to run back to Him when we fall apart. We need Him and we should never be afraid to need Jesus. You, my friend, whatever you are going through right now, are so incredibly loved by the maker of the universe that He just would absolutely love it if you would just sit and spend some time with Him. That's all He really wants from us, is well...Us. He want's our hearts. He wants to spend time with us. So just be still, listen, know to whose you are, friends. Jesus loves you. He just wants to hold you and love you and be with you. As a matter of fact, He thinks you're to die for. And now THAT, is some amazing love.
