Passion

March 31 2006
So, it has been almost 3 months since Passion....and I am just now uploading my pictures!  I know, I know, I need to be more on top of things, but better late than never, huh?  Well as I was uploading them I was overcome with emotion looking at the glorious ones.  For those of you who went to Passion, I am sure you understand.  For those of you who missed it, let me explain.  During the week there was a thing called the "Go center" which was in the convention center.  It was a place to hang out, find out about ministry opportunities, and there was a place you could make worship art.  There were huge sheets on the wall and you could write whatever you wanted as worship to God.  Well, the last day of Passion the worship leaders are on stage singing "Glorious, Over Us..." when these rafters started to raise and there were sheets on each of the 4 sides of the stage. 

One side has G-L, the next O-R, the next I-O, and the last U-S.  There was bright light shining, and you could see the letters.  Then there were red lights on the sheets. 

Then all the sudden they turned black lights on and you could see the worship art that people had drawn during the week.  This was an unexpected surprise and it was overwhelming to see so many prayers to God.



















It was amazing. I had no clue what to expect when I went to Passion and I was blown away.  It seriously changed my life.  God used Passion to speak to my heart and I have not been the same since.  I felt His presence so strongly and there is nothing that could make me give that closeness back now.  My life is His and His alone.  I want only to glorify Him.  There are days (actually every day) that I fall short of this goal, but I know that God loves me and that He does not expect me to be perfect, just willing to be used by Him.  He is changing me every day and I am so greatful. 
So, I wanted to share these pictures with you and my prayer is that you will feel the closeness of God today.  There are more pictures in my photo box if you want to see them :)
Love you-
B
