taking a break from all your worries

all there is, is out of love. creation, in all its wonder was made out of love. love for me, love for you, love from Him. the God of abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. the God we let down, but always lifts us up. the God who loves us perfectly, that we imperfectly love. the God of heaven and earth whose sole desire is our hearts. i wish i was perfect for him, that i could always hit the mark, never miss. but it's too late for that now. but the great thing about grace is that it's eternal, and it came for everything we do. the great thing about his love, the perfect love, is that it never goes away. the great thing about Him is that no matter what, he never lets us go. ever. so i just want to take this moment and worship my God, whom i do my flawed best to love, but who loved me flawlessly first. because he's just so awesome. beyond awesome. he's searched me, he's known my ways, and even when i fail him, i know he loves me. his holy presence surrounds me always, never lets go. and in every season i can know he loves me.

today i felt the need to go deeper with this. i want to bow down and testify to what God has done. he's so awesome and i'm so not, and he loves me, so i want to say it, because i dont say it enough, how grateful i am for his grace. how thankful i am for the cross, for the grave, and for the resurrection.

Hope this works

February 8th, 2009

let this date be marked, forever and ever, in the histories of our children, and their children's children, as a day when the Lord showed up. let it be marked as a day when the Lord's presence was upon his people and his people's hearts were waiting for him. let it be known as a day when our worship rose up to him, and his blessing came down, tenfold of tenfold.

Personally, tonight was amazing for me. I got blessed enough to be part of worship, to play some songs, but more than that, to feel God's presence; a presence of which i am unworthy, but was freely given. I also got to be prayed over, and pray over some, and feel the renewing of God's blessing and grace, as it fell down like torrential waters. my maybe lame attempts at poeticness may seem unsmart to me tomorrow, but through it all, there's just one thing i want to say.

God Showed Up.
