| Light |
This past Friday, I stood with 5 other believers, in front of a house in the corner of a community where drug deals take place, where addictions destroy families, where Satan has His grip, and where evil holds firm strongholds. It was here that we joined together in prayer over this area, for God to truly bring His love and light.

Stopping the time, the rush and the waiting, Leave it behind shifting and shaping, Keep it inside it all goes, it all goes by...
I had a fall day like this the other day. Except it involved Golden Acres, torrential downpours, tacos, the Worlds Series game 7, Hide and seek, Michael Buble Christmas music, and some of my favorite people.

Worship with every breath.
Friday evening found me at an amusement park, riding indoor rollercoasters, battling thunderstorms, sipping coffee, eating ice cream with good friends, meeting celebrities, waiting in long lines, and experiencing some unexpected worship.
I feel close to God a lot now. The other day I missed my devotion in the morning and it felt so strange until I finally read my Bible and prayed for a while. I don't know what it is, but even the most ordinary moments of my life I feel close to God. On Friday at Rock the Universe, I felt close to God simply by being around other believers. But then I had these couple moments by myself with a crowd of unknown faces watching Switchfoot in concert and I just had such a moment of worship towards God. There's something about that band's lyrics that are beyond profound to me. I stood towards the back, surrounded by strangers, listening to them sing Stars, Your Love is a Song, This is Your Life, The Sound, and Gone. The rollercoaster gliding behind the stage, the lights shining, the stars twinkling above, all seemed to fade out as I listened to these songs and worshipped God. How? I just kept thinking about how God created those stars shining overhead before He even created man, before I existed. I thought about how His love is a song, how I just knew His love so deeply and He was becoming my everything. I meditated on His sovereignty and His goodness. I thought about my life and about who I wanted to be- a servant of God. It was something that God has been slowly nurturing in me, this desire to serve Him each moment of my life and now I'm finally beginning to embrace it. Before long, my prayers came to a close when my friends joined me again and we walked off in our still-wet-from-the-rain TOMS out of the park and back to the bus. We were heading home. What a wonderful Friday with an unexpected moment of worship, a "captivating moment" with the Lord!

Бог Ты Дал
Oh You bring hope to the hopeless
And light to those in the darkness
And death to life
Now I'm alive
Oh You give peace to the restless
And joy to homes that are broken
I see You now
In You I'm found.
And light to those in the darkness
And death to life
Now I'm alive
Oh You give peace to the restless
And joy to homes that are broken
I see You now
In You I'm found.

When I wasn't breathing...
"I pray because I can't help myself. I pray because I'm helpless. I pray because the need flows out of me all the time- waking and sleeping. It doesn't change God- it changes me."

Standing in the Intersection.
Isaiah 55:8-9- "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts."
Oswald Chambers- My Utmost for His Highest

He went out, not knowing where he was going —Hebrews 11:8

Have you ever “gone out” in this way? If so, there is no logical answer possible when anyone asks you what you are doing. One of the most difficult questions to answer in Christian work is, “What do you expect to do?”You don’t know what you are going to do. The only thing you know is that God knows what He is doing. Continually examine your attitude toward God to see if you are willing to “go out” in every area of your life, trusting in God entirely. It is this attitude that keeps you in constant wonder, because you don’t know what God is going to do next. Each morning as you wake, there is a new opportunity to “go out,” building your confidence in God. “. . . do not worry about your life . . . nor about the body . . .” (Luke 12:22). In other words, don’t worry about the things that concerned you before you did “go out.”
Have you been asking God what He is going to do? He will never tell you. God does not tell you what He is going to do— He reveals to you who He is. Do you believe in a miracle-working God, and will you “go out” in complete surrender to Him until you are not surprised one iota by anything He does?
Believe God is always the God you know Him to be when you are nearest to Him. Then think how unnecessary and disrespectful worry is! Let the attitude of your life be a continual willingness to “go out” in dependence upon God, and your life will have a sacred and inexpressible charm about it that is very satisfying to Jesus. You must learn to “go out” through your convictions, creeds, or experiences until you come to the point in your faith where there is nothing between yourself and God.

I’ve reached this intersection in my life. Four roads, four choices, none of which I expected. However, my friend reminded me that what I feel is a Plan B, isn’t necessarily a Plan B to God. So here I stand at this crossroads, waiting for God to shine the light on what His plan is. Lord, I will follow.

I'm letting go, I'm letting go.
My friend showed me this song. It is so true about everything going on right now.
