Phrase of the day : The Bee's knees.

That is exactly how i would describe my day at church.
Cell was really cool today because we had lots of time for worship and word.
Then Rachel shared about her week, and i was close to tears, because
she has this amazing, beautiful nature of hers, and she's such a person of
strong character.

Worship went quite well, before today, I was debating whether or not to use 'Your Name' for worship,
and I decided against it, part of the fact that I had an inkling it would come along.
So after a wonderful time of fellowship, we went up for service.

Sitting there in my seat, I looked down, cuz it was pretty high up.
I got a good view of the tons of youth that I've grown so much to love,
and I just felt this blanket of peace around me. I watched Clem talk to Ry, and was reminded of
the wonderful relationship, mentor-wise,

I watched Glenn slap his pals on the back, I just saw so much, all the mingling in cells, and the smiles on all their faces, it was just something to make me smile. I think it's got something to do with the fact that I haven't been in TNG for about a week, last week was just sort of an hour and people were away at YMLC and stuff. This week everybody was back here.

Then I saw the worship team hop on stage with Luke in that notorious bright red.
Worship began, and I was once again amazed by God's wonderful blessing, the worship was incredible today
God never felt closer. And guess what, Luke sang his own song, and I was like (:
Because I think the power of affirmation does great things.

I mean, though its just a simple thing like a matter of song choice, it makes you feel like you've been heard,
I prayed for God's presence here in church today, and it was really cool that i got it.
Rachel and Jamie also mentioned 'Your name' for cell worship context, but that wasn't the best part.

I think that today is the first time that I'm happy that I wasn't the only one who received. (realising myself at least, without people actually telling me that they heard from God)

with all the shortcomings, pain and grief of the week, in knowledge of the hurt people went through this week,
I saw today, that God was speaking to each one of them with broken hearts, and slowly mending them.

No, it wasn't me that felt the pain, but after hearing from all these guys, I'm glad service did something for them. I mean, it was really applicable to some of them, and it was the first time I felt grateful that God actually managed to speak to all of them in a personal way.

From the altar call, and sermon, even the video. I just know that God's heart is so great, it seems he has like 6 billion eyes to watch over all the people who roam the earth, and he has the brain the size of Jupiter, to contain thoughts and concern, and plan for those 6 billion children.

I also think God has 12 billion ears, two each for all the prayers that come knocking on his door, and that He has hands the size of the milky way to hold us all in the palm of His hand.

And a few days back I posted that video of Jon Otto speaking about a person's selfworth. It pretty much summed up the sermon topic for today.

Aaw man, embedding was disabled. But here, I thought it was awesome.

I love you this much.

Three men were walking on a wall,

Feeling, Faith and Fact,

When feeling got an awful fall, and faith was taken back,

So close was faith to feeling, he stumbled and fell too,

But fact remained and pulled faith back,

and faith brought feeling too

I'm standing in reverent awe
