Unforgettable

Tonight, was one of the greatest nights I can remember.  Oddly enough, it started out with the potential to be one of the worst nights ever.

Today, both Esther and I had awful days at work.  We both felt restless and actually debated upon doing something illegal just to fulfill our restlessness.  After much sitting and thinking of things to do (the most illegal thing we thought of doing was sneaking into the Palisades to climb rocks--I know, we're rebels) we ended up having a long conversation about how we are both restless and we both aren't feeling ok.

It ended up with us praying together for around 40 minutes.  This wasn't your normal prayer.  Let me tell you, randomly feeling the power of the Holy Spirit in an impromptu prayer in your dorm room is something that everyone should experience.  During this prayer, something in me just told me to sing "Forever Reign".

This song, made both of us break down and cry.  There is so much truth in that song.

This is all sort of choppy and strange sounding, but that is because I am in awe of the power of God.  I cannot explain what I am feeling, but I'm so very thankful that I have a God that meets me exactly where I am, even if it's a dorm room.

You are good, You are goodWhen there's nothing good in meYou are love, You are loveOn display for all to seeYou are light, You are lightWhen the darkness closes inYou are hope, You are hopeYou have covered all my sin
You are peace, You are peaceWhen my fear is cripplingYou are true, You are trueEven in my wanderingYou are joy, You are joyYou're the reason that I singYou are life, You are life,In You death has lost its sting
Oh, I'm running to Your arms,I'm running to Your armsThe riches of Your loveWill always be enoughNothing compares to Your embraceLight of the world forever reign
You are more, You are moreThan my words will ever sayYou are Lord, You are LordAll creation will proclaimYou are here, You are hereIn Your presence I'm made wholeYou are God, You are GodOf all else I'm letting go
Oh, I'm running to Your armsI'm running to Your armsThe riches of Your loveWill always be enoughNothing compares to Your embraceLight of the world forever reign
My heart will singno other NameJesus, Jesus
Oh, I'm running to Your armsI'm running to Your armsThe riches of Your loveWill always be enoughNothing compares to Your embraceLight of the world forever reign
