Today has been a GOOD Day.
My Church had a baptism today. Three of the Youth group kids got baptized. Plus 1 other younger boy, and one of my co-leaders For Youth group, his mother, and one of my schoolmates.
I'm not going into my whole opinion of baptism, because my whole point of this blog is not to create controversy and to flaunt my opinion.
It was a beautiful thing for me to see. I haven't seen a baptism that large before, and it made my heart glad. Then my church made so much food it was crazy. We do mainly do three things at sunrise. 1. Pray 2. Get into scripture. 3. fellowship... through eating.
Seriously. I have never met a group of Christians who eats as much as we do. As a cook myself, I love making food for these people. It's such a fun way to serve, and to get new recipes. :)
Anyway, off the food. We all were at a lake, and it was wonderfully, deliciously cool water, on a gorgeous, clear blue sky-ed day. So wonderful. It makes you want to join in right?
Then I came home, and went about my normal sunday routine (Except I was so full from lunch I didn't make dinner.) and I have been thinking about how I would describe how I feel about today.
It came to my attention that today was just... so full of... Jesus, that I can't even describe it.
I was sitting on my bed mulling over my thoughts, when this song came on:
Calloused and bruised
dazed and confused
My Spirit is left wanting something more
Than my selfish hopes
and my selfish dreams
I'm lying with my face down to the floor
I'm crying out for more (crying out for more)
Chorus:
Give me Words to speak
Don't let my Spirit sleep
Cause I can't think of anything worth saying
But I know that I owe You my life
So give me Words to speak
Don't let my Spirit sleep
Every night, every day
I find that I have nothing left to say
So I stand here in silence awaiting Your guidance
I'm wanting only Your voice to be heard
Let them be Your Words
Let them be Your words
(chorus)
I just don't understand this life that I've been living
I just don't understand (x2)
I just don't understand these lies I've been believing
I just don't understand (x2)
(chorus x2)
I know that I owe you my life
Owe my life
Owe my life
(x2)

Perfect.
I really can't think about anything else to say. I don't understand. Jesus, please give me words to show the world how GOOD you really are. You are so indescribable... and sometimes that frustrates me.
But I guess that's a good thing when you think about it. Maybe the reason I can't know God the full complete way I want to is because He WANTS us to be completely speechless.
As usual, I've given myself more to think about then I thought. Hm.
