Rest

I have to say that not leading worship and sitting back at bibletalk these past 3 weeks has been an insightful, renewing, and humbling experience. An experience that I truly love. It's a blessing when you begin to see things come into fruition, I still remember the day that I wrote down the vision for our time of worship for the blog. I remember posting it. I remember reading it over and looking forward to seeing that vision come to life. It's such a blessing to look at where things have come since that moment, It's such a blessing, I really can't repeat that enough.

What is this post about? I guess nothing in particular, I'm stuck on my bed now extremely sick. I think I have the flu. My nose is runny, my throat hurts a lot, and I have this really bad cough =/ the worst of it is that when I cough, I get this massive pain in the back of my head. It's def not fun being sick, I kind of wish I was being dramatic about my symptoms, but I'm not. I really appreciated all of your calls and e-mails today, I would have called all of you back but I can hardly talk, it actually hurts to talk =(. I'll probably stay at home tomorrow even if I do feel better for the sake of not risking any of you getting sick.

But for the past two hours that I've been sitting here, I've been listening to the song on the bibletalk blog on repeat.

Give me Jesus.

I've been in love with this song ever since Jincy lead it this past bibletalk. It was actually the first time that my ears had ever laid hold of that song, and I've been listening to it everyday since. It's given me a lot of peace as I've been wrestling through different concepts, struggles, and questions that I've had this past week.

Find some rest in this song tonight, that can come in many forms, whether you just sit still and listen to the song, whether you read over the lyrics, whether you sing along with it, or pray to God with it - whatever it may look like, find some rest in this song tonight.

You can have all this world, but give me Jesus.

word. gnite guys.
