~Delerious~

What can I say...I am just utterly and simply, deleriously thankful and overflowing with joy. Why? My cup has been filled! For today, I have seen the Holy Spirit moving mountains in peoples' lives! What an awesome God we have, who cares about us so much that if we could even understand one millionth of the love he has for us, our heads would simply explode. I already feel like my head's going to explode...I am so...what can I say? Pumped? Burning with passion? Fullfilled yet hungry for more?

I could write and write about what the Alpha sleepover was like this weekend...about the great talks, the informative videos, the bonds that were made and the friendships that were deepened....about the hilarious comments and skits on modified Bible stories, making me laugh the hardest I have in a while....about the prayer and the peace in knowing that God was with us...Emmanuel...but right now, I think that I don't have words to express or summarize the joy I feel inside my heart right now.

Abba, Father in Heaven,
I have been a Christian all my life, yet you never cease to blow me away, and I know you never will. How exciting it is to be in the service of the King! Not only that, but to be called your daughter. Lord, I thank you for filling us up today, with the joy, peace, faith, and presence of your Holy Spirit, who works wonders and transforms lives into beautiful works of art. Oh Lord, if only the whole world could know the joy of spending life with you! If only the whole world could experience how real you are, and see the miracles and love that you shower your children with. Tonight, I thank you for every person in our Alpha group. Thank you for creating a place where talking about you is not taboo but is the most natural thing in the world...because our relationship with you is the most natural thing in the world. Thank you for the joy that you share with me when I have answered your call...Lord, don't let anything hinder the lines of communication between me and you. I always want to hear what you have to say...and make me willing to always do what you want me to do as well. For better is one day in your house than a thousand elsewhere, Emmanuel.

In Jesus name I pray,
Amen
