transformation

it's just beautiful to me how God can turn one bad situation into a good one. i wasn't having a great day today. i was in one of those contemplative moods where i want to think really hard about things meaningful, spiritual, relational...you know...you can tell from my last post...

but tonight i journeyed down the mountain at 10 o'clock with some friends to get a bite to eat and we ended up making our way down to the chattanooga walking bridge. cute...quaint...vast...

but let me tell you...

when we got to the middle of the bridge we ran smack dab into a 30-40 person group of 20-somethings who were singing praises to the Lord with all their might. they sang "jesus paid it all," the doxology, and then broke out whoopin' and hollerin' something about the gates of heaven and right in the middle this burly african american guy just broke it down and whipped out some of dance while he was rapping...it was so great...just to see people rejoicing in the Lord.

everyone was laughing...

i want to see people rejoicing in the Lord like that all the time. my heart has been there so much for the past few weeks...just wanting to get up and dance everytime i hear the mercies of the Lord...and so this time i did.

OK, this is really funny. Because here I am, doing workstudy, looking for blogs to talk about Covenant on (I don't really like it, but I have no choice), and I get all excited because here is a blog about someone who just heard the Archbishop!! Great converstation starter!! Then I notice that the post is by Jill. And I continue reading. This Jill lives on a mountain. Oh. I guess I can't encourage you to go to my college cause you already do. ^_^ lol I hope I didn't scare you, girl.

Love always,
