May It Last.

I'm happy today!
I got back from a weekend in Zurich that was refreshing. Refreshing because I met a few people whom I really connected with. Because I saw how God is moving in a LOT of young Swiss people's hearts. Because I got to spend time and discuss life with one of my best friends.
I went to Shema and had a moving time of worship through song. There's something about the band there - it feels like I encounter God almost every time I go.
We continued the worship down by the lake with a few friends. I felt like I was in community, which is something I haven't been feeling recently.

Most importantly though, as a result of those three things and of having had some good conversation with my friend Marie recently, I feel a little bit of my passion resurfacing. I feel like spending time with Jesus. I feel like praying, and singing, and reading the Word. I'm hungry for Him... I want to bring my plans for September to Him - and wait on Him.

I think I'm ready to do whatever, God, as long as I know it's You who's calling me to it... I'm waiting for You, Jesus. I want to get reacquainted with You. I don't want to go anywhere without Your direction. I know You're there all the time - but I pray that my heart would really sense You as I try to lay my plans down at Your feet. You know what's best. I pray that I would trust You, and that I would take the time and the effort to listen to You. And I know what that takes: falling in love with You again. Help me see You - because if I see You, there's no way I can do anything but fall in love with You... In the words of Shawn McDonald, won't you please "make me more real"...
