For Love of You

Music is so inspiring. It's always neat to find different artists or new songs that move you.

I just heard about Audrey and her new song, "For Love of You." Such a beautiful song ... may it inspire you to be captivated by Him again.

Because of You ... I come alive.

My Hope

Really loved the scripture reading I came across today ... what a beautiful way to start the day. This is where my Hope comes from ...

Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him. 6He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. 7My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge. 8Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge. Selah

Psalm 62:5-8

Grace is unfair.

The new series I've been helping to facilitate on Grace has been crazy challenging so far. It was really neat to see how the sermon yesterday tied together so well with everything we've been talking about in the class. Grace is the one thing that has the power to change the world.

Grace is truly the last best word (in reference to "What's So Amazing About Grace?" by Philip Yancey).

At its core, grace just seems too good to be true or so good that it must be true. Grace is unfair, but that's the beauty of grace ... it is never about fairness.

Yesterday, we talked about forgiveness which is super tough, especially, when you don't feel like you've done anything wrong. But grace challenges us to love ... to act differently than what most people would do. And in many ways, forgiveness puts our message to the test ... do we just believe a great theology or does it actually change the way that we love others?

"To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you." ~ C.S. Lewis

You should watch this ...

Having attended Passion 2010 ... people always come up to me and ask, "How was it?" And of course, that's an incredibly difficult question to answer. There's so much to share!

This video sums it up really well ... you should watch this ...



All I know is I want to be a door holder for a generation to run after the glory of God!

Yum!

I think it's time to start a food blog ... mainly because I love to take pictures of food! :D
