I am not currently playing a song, but my roomie is playing Illuminate by David Crowder.
Today on the way back from eating brunch in the Marketplace, I called, "shotgun," on the way to the car. To keep the story short, I had the front seat stolen from me, then was told to get in the car. I did not. I preceded to walk back to the dorm. You know why? I've realized what makes a man a man. Choices. Standing up. Fighting. Now you may say, "Ryan, it's just a seat." But, no. There isn't anything of my life that means nothing. By living for a God that is extreme, my life must be extreme. I will stand up for what I believe in, no matter what the consequences. I will not be silenced about the God I stand for-- in any situation. I AM ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH SOMETHING THAT I CAN NEVER LOVE ENOUGH. If I say anything ever, hear me now: I deserve to go to hell, but, by grace, God sent himself to my world of sin, so that he could beat sin and save my soul. The same is true for you, and I hope that you realize a hint of how stinkin' awesome that is! And, I hope you realize it more and more each day. Get it yet?
Galations 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me."
May this be true for us every time we have the chance to do so.
"But for now... I will sing... A new song... For you..."
Shalom.
P.S. Dearest Friend. You have made my heart smile.
