During my drive to Nebraska last night I saw lightning. More of it then I have probably ever seen in my whole life combined, all in one night. It was fantastic and gorgeous really.

Don't worry, I will be home at least in time to be at church/school by 9am Wednsday morning, in order to work with Autumn on getting the place ready for school next week!!! So I won't be gone forever, just two more days. It was very, very hard to miss church this morning, even though I did attend church, there is no comparison.

I have realized that by far the biggest thing I do not miss that used to be such a huge part of my life yet is no more, is all the drama!!! Wow, I didn't see how blessed we are to be practically drama free until I finally realized how drama packed all my friends' lives are here in Lincoln, and how much mine was probably even worse then that about a year ago. I think this can actually be compared to when Pastor Steve talks about no longer hearing "the voices" (ok, sounds like we're all scitzo's or something ), but really, I can see how much clearer it is to think without all the voices of drama going on through my head.

I love Yahweh, who is the King of all Kings and Lord above all Lords, more than anything in the entire universe. I cherish my church, and the body that I am so blessed to be given the opportunity to even know let alone be an active, alive part of. I am so thankful for ALL my pastors and leaders, especially Pastors Steve and Kathy Gray.

I have the One True God, hope, purpose (much bigger than myself), destiny, joy, wholeness, prosperity, shalom, complete life, and the best group of friends, mentors, and leaders in the entire world.
WHAT DO YOU HAVE?

When the Jews are standing shoulder to shoulder with us, worshipping the one true God and our Lord, Jesus Christ, it will be uncomparably better than "this".
That's all I could think of during that song at church yesterday.

When Pastor Steve was singing "You Raise Me Up" I couldn't help but think that maybe this line, "You raise me up so I can stand on mountains", could possibly be rewritten to say, "You have raised us up to stand on Mount Carmel"? I don't know for sure, but that was an interesting picture in my mind anyways.
Our destiny is speeding by so fast. If I slow down for even a second I could almost miss it.

Jesus is Lord, and Ceasar is not, nor is Budah, Alah, or any other thing or "god" people place above the ONE AND ONLY GOD!

(btw, I have a computer again, but I haven't had time to configure it to work for wireless yet- I need to go get a new wireless card now... but at least I can type papers and stuff again, and I didn't lose my hard drive.)
