the paradigm is shifting
i got to talk a little at the rehearsal dinner tonight, and it was so great that i could think of nothing but good things to say about the lovebirds. i remember when nathan and i first met, i was studying romans 6 with a friend and nate sat down to join in. he just loves Jesus so much it's awesome. for a month he just annoyed the crud out of me to go to landmark, which i would abruptly refuse for a long time. but time wore me down and i gave in, and i don't regret sticking with landmark for the last year-and-a-half. nate is a persistent dude, and i've watched him use that same persistence in life to accomplish so many things. he has sacrificed, scrimped, and saved so much just to be able to provide for his and jennifer's future together. he is so impressive, and a great role model for how a man should take care of his woman. he has pursued jennifer with a vengeance, and i imagine that woman has got to feel like a queen what with everything nate has strived to provide her with. they are great, and i think they will go quite far in life.
i've gotten this gift from God that i've just recently clued into. i realized it this past wednesday when all of the new freshmen started just pouring into the upper room. no jitters! no. jitters. at all. i was so incredibly relaxed getting ready for worship, and it was the coolest. it's not like i was perfect wednesday night either. i just led 102 people in praising our awesome Father. i sware, i could do this forever. love it. so yeah, this gift of... what... confidence...? is really cool. i think it comes with surrendering a lot of territory in my life to God. He's just that good!
i give my life to you
so i can gain it back again
i stand solid
