being a Christian then is more about celebrating mystery than conquering it.

darkest clouds are breaking.

i tend to misspell things quite often these days. for example, shakespeare. i didn't know it had an 'e' at the end. thank God for spell check :o) i also seem to be more easily distracted than usual. but not really with bad things. it's usually just with music or art or my thoughts or an idea that i'm afraid i will loose if i fail to pursue it. so off i go into distracted-ville.
i got one of those dove chocolates last thursday and in the wrapper it said, "shut out the world for just a moment." that's what i need...
goodbye world.

and they sang.

come drink this water
come and drink this blood
come and drink this love that you could not afford

i'm in an artsy mood. maybe i'll go paint.....

what shall become of this?

today will be a day of rest and other stufff.....
i was talking to someone yesterday about the sounds of silence and of heat. now that i'm sitting here in silence....i see what they mean. there is a sound in silence. it's like the sound of stillness. i like it.

shut your eyes.

eloquence: the practice or art of using language with fluency and aptness; the quality of persuasive, powerful expression; the power of expressing strong emotions in striking and appropriate language either spoken or written; movingly expressive.

"don't have to prove that you are so strong cause i can carry you on my back after our enemies attack."
-snow patrol

i thought this quote was cool. because it is a secular band singing to a girl. but it is so relevant to our odyssey with God. not just because of the fact that our weakness puts on a show of His strength, but because our enemies are His enemies, and vice versa. He carries us after the battle has been fought by the both of us and He still has the strength to bear the weight of us on His back.

this weekend was really awesome! bill rife hit on a lot of points that we as a group and me as an individual needed to hear :) it was humbling and tons of fun. God is moving in this group....big time. as the yfn-ers say.....the best is yet to come.

it's good to hear words....again. i've been listening sermons from onething '07. it's exciting to be reminded of things you've fotgotten...or just not really focused on in a while. One thing Julie Myer said was that God absolute passion for us in our weakness. hurray! so yeah. buh-bye :)

this world has nothing for me. i will follow You.
so the night of worship was amazing....i love is when God just shows up :)

thanks to the rain, i went to school at 10am today and will be leaving tomorrow at 1pm. horray! i'm trying not to look at the rain with such disdain, but i really just miss the sun and the moon and the stars. i miss the dry grass and my reading nook on the front porch. but for now...i will embrace the fact that the rain is getting me out of school...and it is fun to play in :)
