...up from the grave he arose...

the tears came too suddenly for me to do anything about it.

must be missing home a little more than i thought.

must be missing family a little more than i thought.

it's going in my list of moments that i can attribute to g*d specifically doing something to affect me, nudge me, speak to me.

the last, i think, was the long drive across the lovely hills of central texas. something about meeting a girl at the upcoming concert i was so anticipating. and she being the one i would marry.

there are others.

the personal bible study in the van, alone, in mission, tx, on the mission trip. "if you are ashamed of me on earth, i will be ashamed of you in heaven."

the waterdeep show at the door, months after breaking up with the girl i once thought i'd spend the rest of my life with. the beginning of what had/has been a long process of healing.

the night in august. i was 9. somehow a scary shadow on the wall in the middle of a storm leading to a discussion and prayer with the parents...the confession of my sin and admitting i needed Him to save me.

outside the tabernacle on the youth trip. an overwhelming presence that made you want to say "can you back off just a big, g*d?" realizing that there was more to salvation and discipleship than that prayer as a 9 year old.

moments i will never forget.

the tears came for me yesterday, too, and the chills along with it...just sitting next to you knowing how much that song means to you...
