to live a life that's worthy..

I think one of the most satsifying and fullfilling things in all of life is to know you truly brought someone closer to the Lord, rather that be through your actions, prayer, or actual incounters with another person. I got to spend several hours last night with two close friends of mine who I have been seperated from for some time because of me being away at Lee and everything and to see the fruit of many hours in prayer and just many hours investing touched my heart in such a powerful way. And I got to thinking after I got home about how God works like that...how much power can come just being in His prescense observing Him at work in the lives of people you love. I do that at church sometimes, just look around and see how so many people ( a lot of them who are as dear as family, I've practically grown up looking up to them) that I've spent time in prayer over and observing their faith in God, being met right in front of your eyes by God. And it's just awesome that I get to be a part of that, and that I can have those moments. I love the way the Lord has been showing me His faithfulness as much as He possibly can. And as I was thinking about all this, I just for I think the first time in my life, or at least in a very long time, feel 100% that my life has been worth it and I've made a difference, and that if I were to die I would have honored the Lord with the time He gave me on Earth...and to wake up every morning being fullfilled by honoring the Lord is the most amazing feeling in the world. Great song by Hillsong....Mighty To Save....

Everyone needs compassion
A love that's never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Everyone needs forgiveness
A kindness of a Savior
The hope of nations

Savior
He can move the mountains
My God is Mighty to save
He is Mighty to save
Forever
Author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave

So take me as You find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in
Now I surrender

Shine your light and let the whole world see
We're singing for the glory of the risen King...Jesus
