God-Shaped Hole

Lord help me to be less jealous and more trusting.

Tonight was pretty awesome. I went to a city wide Christian gathering called "The Gathering" at the hockey stadium with a few from my church family and we sang and danced and praised God together. It was so awesome to see the light and the energy of God's love in their faces as they sang and gave it all to Him. I love it. I love God so much and I love praising Him.

The most attractive thing about a boy is watching him praise God.

I feel like I need to do something. When I lived in Edmonton I was involved for awhile with street ministry and different kinds of children's ministries and I just feel like I need to be involved in that again here. I wonder if there is something I could join in on or if there's something I could start. I just know there's a need for more Christian faces on the streets getting their fingers dirty. We need to be living more dangerously. We need to be risking more. We need to fill the God-shaped holes!!

I left my PJ's in my bedroom and my Uncle and Aunt have already gone to bed, so I guess I'm sleeping in my jeans tonight!

I miss my brother deeply.

I should really get off this because I'm using my dad's laptop and I'm probably not aloud haha

God's Amazing Power

In Christ Alone

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost it's grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Brought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
'Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand
