Getting Ready For Daytona!

So today has been a pretty long day. I went with some buddies to the mall today just to goof off and get some things before we leave for Daytona next week. I AM SOOO READY!!! It's Saturday night and I still have not packed for the trip. =/ I'm excited yeah for the beach, but I am also excited to see what God has planned for the week. I know some of the things we have planned, but it kinda raises your curiosity to see what God's got going on. =) I think back to last yeah and all the fun we had, but I also look at God things. The things that I felt, the things that I saw, that were totally GOD. Tomorrow is Sunday and more than likely our Pastor will call us up to the front of the church for the elders to pray for us. Now I do like this idea but I am not too excited about going all the way to the front of the church to stand there. Now moving on to next week. . . Crowder is going to be there and I WANT him to sing the song "How He Loves". I absolutely love this song! Also, Tomlin will be leading worship and Louie Giglio will be speaking. Sounds like an amazing line-up right? YES!! But is that the entire reason we are going to camp? What do we look forward to for the week? The good times? The fun? The food? The music? Or. . . do we look at next week looking to God, what will happen to the youth group, to us. It's hard to not look at all the fun, music, and good times. But, one thing that I know is true is that God will be there and He is going to do mighty things. I don't know about you but that kinda raises some curiosity and some excitement. You know that excitement like at a football game and they play the opening song where the players come on field. That kind of excitement that sends chills down your spine; that's the kind of excitement I am talking about. I can remember last year when Tomlin first walked out on stage, he played the song "Let God Arise", I started to feel something, a tingle, a chill; was it the music? Just the idea that I was hearing the music that I had sang for so long coming from the writers mouth? Was that it? It was the fact that I was singing this song, the song I had sang for so long in my bedroom, to myself; I was singing this song to the one and only God, God Almighty. Just the thoughts of that right now is making me a little excited, okay maybe a lot excited. Alright well I need to go get some things ready for the trip and for church tomorrow. Have a good night, I will more than likely be back tonight to talk a little more about the trip. See Ya!

Off Work For The Day. .

So today I am off work and going to the pool. Pretty awesome huh? I'm pretty psyched about Summer Camp coming up, just F.Y.I. We showed a promo video on Sunday and even though I have seen the video about a million times I still went and downloaded the video on my laptop when I got home. Just call me crazy but I love the video. It's totally worth checking out the video. You need to watch the one titled "Type-Hype". So this year at camp there is gonna be Tomlin leading worship. The best worship leader in the world, in my opinion, well except Jason of course. =) Louie Giglio will be teaching and everyone knows that you can't listen to Louie teach and just walk away the same. So I know it's gonna be a pretty awesome week. Oh also, Crowder and Leeland will be having concerts on different nights throughout the week. So all in all its gonna be pretty exciting. Alright well I am off to the pool, figured I would kinda let people know what's going on. Talk to you later.

BTW David Crowder released a new single that is SUCH A GREAT SONG!!! I have included the lyrics below. It's worth downloading. =)

He is jealous for me,

Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,

Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.

When all of a sudden,

I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,

And I realise just how beautiful You are,

And how great Your affections are for me.

And oh, how He loves us so,

Oh how He loves us,

How He loves us all

He loves us,

Oh how He loves us,

Oh how He loves us,

Oh how He loves.

Yeah, He loves us,

Oh how He loves us,

Oh how He loves us,

Oh how He loves.

We are His portion and He is our prize,

Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes,

If grace is an ocean, we’re all sinking.

So Heaven meets earth like an unforeseen kiss,

And my heart turns violently inside of my chest,

I don’t have time to maintain these regrets,

When I think about, the way…

He loves us,

Oh how He loves us,

Oh how He loves us,

Oh how He loves.

Yeah, He loves us,

Oh how He loves us,

Oh how He loves us,

Oh how He loves.
