I want to know Christ more. I want to experience him more. In the past weeks my life has been turned upside down in many good ways. I find myself... as who I used to be: excited. Excited about the unexpected-ness of Father... about now, about the future. About HIM. I'm excited about Christ, and as Colby Ivey always would say while in Japan, "I'm so excited." ... So i suppose excitement is the theme of this post.

That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are at Rome.- Paul, Romans 1

Father has been using this song in my life lately:


Falling down upon our knees
Sharing now in common shame
We have sought security
Not the cross that bears Your name
Fences guard our hearts and homes
Comfort sings a siren tune
We’re a valley of dry bones
Lead us back to life in You

Lord we fall upon our knees
We have shunned the weak and poor
Worshipped beauty, courted kings
And the things their gold affords
Prayed for those we’d like to know
Favor sings a siren tune
We’ve become a talent show
Lead us back to life in You

You have caused the blind to see
We have blinded him again
With our man-made laws and creeds
Eager, ready to condemn
Now we plead before Your throne
Power sings a siren tune
We’ve been throwing heavy stones
Lead us back to life in You

We’re a valley of dry bones
Lead us back to life in You
We’ve become a talent show
Lead us back to life in You
We’ve been throwing heavy stones
Lead us back to life in You
