winter+passion

or passion in the winter. haha. passion for GOD, ANYTIME! yay!
"Teach me your way, O Lord, that i may walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name." -David, in psalms 86:11
hmm...what does "fearing" mean? why would an undivided heart cause you to fear God? i'm thinking fear as in respect.....??

i came here so many times and was about to blog, but laziness won me over. you see, i emailed a huge email to some cr friends about passion concert and didn't want to write it all over again.....so here's the email. yes, i copied and pasted. haha. by the way, it's the best time of the year in costa rica, really nice and sunny, but not humid. mmmmm....i'm thinkin BEACH right now. i can almost smell the saltwater.....

i'm with all the really cold winter'ed ladies....like 10 cm of snow just fell LAST NIGHT!!!! and we had to walk to school in all the coldness, and all the stairs at the school were wet and dirty and not quite safe. oh it's a sight to see when everyone's in their winter gear, but sweating underneath it all. hahaha. and goodness those tukes, messes your hair so badly and, yes, so static-y!! haha i tried combing my hair back down with my hands, but forgot they were gloved, and it just made it stick all the more to my face and whatever else it could get in touch with!! (my hair, i mean). happend the other day, i went to a concert with a couple friends....oh!! I WENT TO MY FIRST CONCERT you guys!!!

it was absolutely amazing, it was passion concert. (passion is group of 3 christian bands, chris tomlin, charlie hall, david crowder...donno if you've heard of them, but we sing a lot of their songs in the church. have you heard of "indescribable"?? GREATEST SonG EVER!! or "how great is our God", GREAT song too. anyways. they travel doing evangelistic stuff. our concert was FREE cuz they saved up the offering from other concerts to come to toronto. they're from the states,by the way.) wow long parenthesis. ANYWAYS, as i was saying, it was ABSOLUTELY AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i felt it was way more than just a concert....there was a message and louie giglio (ok, now i'm just throwing names out there) got the whole crowd to do prayer triangles, and just oooo it was amazing!! the whole concert was to remind us of how GREAT, how BIG and how AWSOME our God is! louie showed a whole lot of photographs of galaxies and just...HUGE stuff. we're merely a speck of dust in the universe!! or, not EVEN. we're like...nothing. "just a passing wind" (or something like that)

he was showing us pictures after pictures of different galaxies...guess what? they were shaped like an eye! "now tell me God isn't watching you!!" so neat! and at the very end, he showed us a picture of the greatest, most beautiful galaxy that was the farthest out of them all---a picture of jesus on the cross. GIGANTAGEOUS cheer from the crowd! SO TRUE though....he showed a photograph of a whirlpool galaxy way out there somewhere,(31 million light years away, i looked it up just now) and said how there was this x-void thing in the center of it......and it was in the shape of a cross. how AWSOME is THAT!!! NOBODY can say the earth isn't filled with HIS GLORY!!! :D

ah, well, school isn't so bad now, i'm getting to know people better (hah after two years, shame on me) and stuff. ummm oh!! our school's athletic council is starting a indoor soccer league!! hoping to round some people up to join.....how i miss the indoor soccer!! :D man i can't wait to get out of the snow though! sure, it's lovely, but gets ruined so quickly by dirt and cars. sigh. how fragile.

it's like our lives...so fragile. and even though we start out so pure, we get ruined by the things of the world we live in. very quickly. and if we try to keep it sheltered from the mud of the world, it'll just melt away anyways. um. i donno how the melting relates to our lives. just a thought!
