Saturday night a huge group of young adults from our Thursday night prayer group and high school/junior high students went to a concert in Murray, KY. It was part of the Passion Tour. Kristian Stanfill is one of Passion's worship leaders and is traveling around putting on concerts, and promoting the Passion conference which is in Atlanta & Houston in the winter. If you don't know about Passion, check it out here. There are really geared toward reaching college age (18-25), but right now they have started this tour for the first time where anyone can come.
Oh my goodness, it was incredible. The presence of God was truly there. Now most the time you don't expect that at a concert, but this wasn't just a concert. It was just like any other worship service, except the worship leader was famous and had written a lot of the songs we sang.
We even had a dance party. If you have the Spirit within you, how can you not jump for joy when you are worshipping the King of Kings? How can you not be excited for the things He is doing?

working 9-5
I have just been informed that it's a long time since I have blogged... so here it goes.
I've been rather busy working 9-5, Monday-Friday. Work is good, but it can be crazy busy and sometimes a little stressful. So when I get some, I'm ready to just relax and just be chill.
Other than work, I've been trying to squeeze in time to work out, which doesn't happen as frequently as I would like, but I'm working on it. I like to hit up the elliptical for a while and then stretch real good. After I've worked out, I always feel really good, but I just don't always have time to get there. Or I just don't feel like going.
Last Friday night, a few of us girls went bowling with my friend Jason who is in medical school. It happened to be cosmic bowling, which is awesome. We had a lot of fun just catching up and spending time with him. And we got DQ afterwards, and sat in Jason's car where he quizzed us about our lives. It's the simple things in life that are oh so much fun.
Then the next night, Angela, Cacy & I went to Crossroads Bible Church in Norris City. They were having a night of worship. It was incredible. Most of the music was new to me, but it was really good. We spent the evening worshipping the Living King. It was so refreshing to be in the presence of God.
My quiet time has been so good lately. I feel like I've really been digging in. Recently I've been reading in 1st & 2nd Timothy and I just started in 1 Thessalonians.
"We give thanks to God always for all of you, constantly mentioning you in our prayers, remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you, because our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction. You know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake. And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you received the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit, so that you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia. For not only has the word of the Lord sounded forth from you in Macedonia and Achaia, but your faith in God has gone forth everywhere, so that we need not say anything. For they themselves report concerning us the kind of reception we had among you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come." 1 Thessalonians 1:2-10
This is something we should strive to be as Christians. That we would become imitators of the Lord because we are filled with joy of the Holy Spirit. That we would turn away from idols of this world to serve the one true living God because He promised Jesus was coming back. And we are always, always to give thanks for one another.
1) Celebrating Ben's 30th birthday at El Ranchito.
2) One of my new favorite movies, very good, wholesome, family movie. Worth watching.
3) Watching my high school alma mater play soccer.
4) My sweet niece at 11 months old getting so stinkin' big.
5) The most recent picture of my youth kids in Ukraine. One of the girls recently graduated from University.
6) And a throwback to Seattle. I wish I was there.

last night
I worked most of the day yesterday, 10am-5pm.
I'm trying to save up my money for my spring break trip to NYC.
last night my friend Becca and I went to Wired Coffee House for a concert.
it was absolutely incredible.
David Curtis from Run Kid Run was the main event.
I have seen Run Kid Run quite a few times, and an acoustic set with David and Neil, but this was different.
David was with a full band, and he played worship songs, popular ones as well as some originals.
it was such an amazing atmosphere in there.
the passion was magnificent.
I'm so glad I went.
and I'm quickly falling in love with Wired.
it such an awesome place to hang out.
plus, Becca and I are turning into hipsters.
skinny jeans, flannel, cardigans, scarves, Toms, nose ring, cool glasses, no money.
together, we are like the ultimate hipster, haha.
