What's your favorite color?..... ORANGE!

So... right now my brains are still leaking out of my ears due to the insane worshipping and the insane speaking and the insane music and... dang i could go on forever. Well, if you didn't already know i just got home from the Passion2010 Conference in Atlanta, Georgia.... which i have to say without a doubt is the best glimpse of Heaven that i have ever, in my entire life, seen. To be worshipping the One True Living God with 22,000 of your brothers and sisters in Christ boils down to one word... EPIC. The speakers, bands, and students allowed the Holy Spirit to move through them like i have never seen before.

One thought that i still cannot get out of my head is the idea of having... no.... WANTING a heart of anguish. Francis Chan spoke about it in his breakout session and it completely blew me away. Francis summed it up with this statement: "If the Holy Spirit is called the Great Comforter, let it do it's job! How can the Great Comforter comfort someone who's already comfortable?"......See what i mean!?!?! We're supposed to actively pursue a heart of anguish for our Lord so we can suffer like He did! We're supposed to imitate Christ... even if that means dying for him! We're supposed to imagine ourselves being arrested with Jesus... being tied to the pole across from Jesus and being beaten... and being nailed to the cross.... RIGHT NEXT TO JESUS CHRIST.... all the while staring into His eyes and our Lord staring back at us. This absolutely without a doubt blows my mind completely to a thousand pieces.

God is an awesome God. No doubt about that statement whatsoever. God really spoke to me this week about just how awesome He is and how much praise, worship, and glory He deserves. He showed me how self-centered i am and how God-centered I'm not. In the words of John Piper: "We were not made to be somebody... but to KNOW somebody." This statement is without a doubt 100% true. We are God's creation... created for one purpose and one purpose only... to serve His name... to glorify His name... and most of all to worship and adore our great redeemer who is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

God showed me this week just how proud I am and just how much attention I try to get.

He is glorious and He reveals it to us daily... we just have to be Passionate enough about him and want to exalt him on a daily basis to see Him in all his splendor.
