Indescribable greatness

I am home.

Two songs to describe how I feel right now, Yearn-Shane and Shane, Mystery-Phil Wickham.


Woah, God is moving. I think you must be blind if you don't see it. Being back, of course its hard I see how materialistic we are, how many pointless things we have, the amount of money we spend on coffee and things like that. But then I look past that, I see the beauty of this place. I see the beauty of how different the cultures are from MN, to South Africa. When I was flying back I had some super sweet encounters with God, I felt his love for everyone I saw in a way I never had experienced before. It took me three days to get home, and I could soooo tell when I got back into America. The warmness of the people changed immediately, it was very cold if I could put it like that, conversations were not so easily started. That was difficult for me at first, I would try to start a conversation and all I would get was a "i'm good." Then they would continue what they were doing...anyways I want to talk about God again.

I have now been back for 3 weeks, and I can honestly say I am in a place right now where its hard for me to describe how great God is. I am at a place where my whole being becomes humbled at the thought of what Jesus CHOSE to do..for us...for you and I as unworthy as we are, and he does it over and over again. WAHHHH. I mean ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. It BLOWS MY MIND. 
Everywhere I look I find something awesome that I can thank God for. I have been in SO MANY fricken sweet conversations that only God could have orchestrated. I have been blessed to the point of some random woman paying for a lunch I was having with my sister...like ahh so sweet. I am just in love, and I can't put it any other way. If you have not found this love I would encourage you to check it out, because it is the most satisfying love you can find. This world has NOTHING that comes close in comparison to how awesome God's love is. nothing.



God as we continue to face each and every day help us see your face. Help us recognize you in every situation we are in. Let us bring glory to your name in ALL circumstances. Give us the confidence we need to fight the many trials we will face. We know you will never leave us or forsake us and for that we are so thankful. Let us feel your love today in a way we never knew we could, make yourself real to us.
