I will stand up now...

and I will not step down.

I was doing my morning music devotion and I heard Stand Up by Everyday Sunday.

This reminded me of the whole start of this transformation. The reason I am more peaceful, more loving, and just more of somebody that I love and somebody that loves God in a different and radical way.

I worked at a "liberal" Lutheran Bible Camp, Camp Luther Crest. We sang this song for the staff musical. The song isn't important but the memories and the significance of it being the catalyst for the change in my life that is now!

I had a huge transformation from a "conservative" Christian who looked for fights with anybody on any silly little issue to, well...this!

You can swing by the blog I made while I was there to see the intense transformation I went!

Yearn

"I want to yearn for you. I want to burn with passion over you."

-Yearn by Shane and Shane

This is the line that I want to make my prayer.

I hear these words as I do my morning meditation on God while listening to music and it brings a tear to my eye because of how accurate it is.

Sometimes I am a bit off and that is exactly what I need to get back on. To yearn and burn with passion. So this is what I want.

On a random note:

I have my first office hour today, which means I get to sit in a room and wait for students to come to me if they have a question or something.

HAH, who would give me an office?
