Your love is strong...

Your Love is Strong by Jon Foreman. (Check this song out, fabulous)

so many emotions. so many colors and feelings.

i got a new group yesterday and i am so thankful to co-host with mo again. and this group i am very thankful for as well. my word to describe today was encouraging because that is all that is happening today. i was encouraged by this group and everything about them. how real and authentic they are. how passionate they are to serve our God. and how they are intentional about worshiping with their whole lives. not for one song. or one church service.

so much to reflect upon this holy/passion week, but i want to dive into the different part of the bible study devotional thing these students are doing this week. first we read in john 19 (unit 3 scripture skit) where the jews bring Jesus before pilate. and this devotional book asks what are kings are? a line in the scripture verse says "we have no king but caesar"....who is your caesar?

my caesar is as of now my vocation. at least a big one is. i feel like my job makes it so easy and yet so hard to put God first, and really realize how much it is not about me. i think that it is a daily and constant struggle, but by the grace of God i get humbled everyday and get a glimpse into God moving into this city.

may we begin to realize the humbleness in being His hands and feet. may our hearts constantly bow at the one who creates, and is in all things no matter how great or small. and may we know that although He could do this all on his own He chose us to do His works with out stretched arms of love and grace.

i have no more to reflect on right now, but definitely will digest on this week for many more days to come.

other things that happened today that i did not mention: downtown cluster-lunch at union with mo-tennessee group singing for the elderly-handing out soup on the streets-praising the Lord through song with 16 passionate senior highers who love our Lord and Savior-sharing a middle eastern meal-ms. karen williams (coolest van driver ever)-time to meet kids one on one.

amen.
