2 Chronicles 15:7

Remember I stated on the 27th of July that I intend to buy off some songs in Amazon? Well…

MP3 downloads are only for US customers -_-

I must say that I was disappointed when I saw this and was contemplating: either to continue listening to the few soundtracks off Youtube, or downloading them free through other sites. The latter, I am quite sure, would have open me up to more temptations and weaken my resolve against anti-piracy.

Yup. That was how low I felt that time. I mean, hear I was trying my best to acquire things the right way, and suddenly a barrier appears and blocked me from doing just that. I was like, is this how those who try to live upright rewarded? What happened to Matthew 5:6?

Nevertheless! Much of that feeling passed and I decided to look for a legitimate site to e-buy those songs.

The first few attempts were a no go. The sites displayed bore the texts “free MP3 downloads” and such like. No surprise there, seeing as the majority would rather see “free downloads” that “purchase downloads” when Googling. As for me, thanks – but I think I have done my “fair” share of downloading “free” songs in my earlier days.

And so I continued my uneventful search for a legal MP3 site, and lo! Jesus said in the Bible, seek and you shall find.” At last, God rewarded me for my patience and effort. After awhile I chanced upon the seemingly legitimate site: http://mp3fountain.com. And yes, I actually went through the legibility of the site at http://mp3fountain.com/terms.

Best of all, once you sign up for it, the site gives a $0.30 starting credit which allows you to download up to 3 songs – and the 2 songs I am desperately looking for are available! Which leaves me with an extra $0.10 for future usage before I start buying off them =). Say whatever you want, but I am truly thankful to God for all these little things in life.

Now I can have my personal praise and worship without the burden of guilt upon me. No longer do I feel uneasy when repeating those songs again and again. When you are truly into worship, the songs which you think have you have grown bored off suddenly fires you up the same as when you initially sang it.

To God in Heaven, be all Glory!

PS: The 2 songs I downloaded were:

  • Some Will Seek Forgiveness, Others Escape – UnderOath
  • Redemption – August Burns Red

RFG always.
