This got me fired up again...

And made me want to go again...



I wonder if Jesus would be willing to add a couple days to my vacation time?

New Passion CD is out and you should get it now! Seriously! Great stuff to plug into your iTunes!

So my copy of Passion:Awakening came yesterday and so you can get it today. I really think that you should truly consider it because this is one of the best worship albums that you will ever listen to.

Seriously.

I don't tell people to spend money on things, but this CD will warm your soul and give you a great opportunity to have awesome personal worship.

So do it.

NOW!

Awakening

Every once in a while, even in the week or so that it has been since I left Passion:TwentyTen, I've found myself turning on some of the music that I can find on either the internet or the CD's that I have downloaded from the Conference. Every time that I listen to the songs, I remember the exact place I was in and the emotion that I was feeling at the time. I even am reminded of how God showed up in those moments. What is even cooler, is I feel that He speaks something new to me in the moment that I am reliving those moments. I wanted to share one of those songs with you and some pictures from the conference.

I don't want to live in the past, but there is something about looking back at how God has spoken and has revealed himself to me in order to better look for him in each day. I want to be awakened to His Voice each day. I want to sing Him a new song each day; to find the light in the darkness, each day. Chris' words in this song speak the truth in my heart. May you be blessed by this song.

Reflections on Passion 2010: Awakening

What an amazing time that I experienced while at Passion:2010. What I expected to be a vacation-like time was greeted with cold air, huge meetings, lots of work and moments of complete brokenness. Not exactly what one would think of when they thought of vacation. I am so blessed to have been part of it and to BE a part of it. I was truly awakened to some truths that I had never quite grasped.

I'm not going to be detailed in this, but I have to say that this awakening is something that will prove to be something of process. It is a process that I have to go through in order to truly recognize the awakening that began at Passion.

So, now it comes to where the rubber meets the road. What will be different? What will be the difference of my life after this day? I marked some stakes in the ground in the last post, and I intend to see those things come to fruition. But I wonder what my complete awakening looks like in the long run. I wonder what people will begin to see on my face. I want to reflect Jesus. I want people to see my Father.

Then Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it. Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, "Lord, by this time there will be an odor, for he has been dead four days." Jesus said to her, "Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?" So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, "Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this on account of the people standing around, that they may believe that you sent me." When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out." The man who had died came out, his hands and feet bound with linen strips, and his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Unbind him, and let him go."
