I made it safe!

I cant believe it! I am in SEATTLE, WA. 


After a LONG 37+ hour ride on the train I finally made it to Seattle, WA.
I first got on the wrong train :( but it was really amazing. lol
I met a wonderful woman named Floreesh Conner. we had a great conversation. we talked about God and His wonderful works. we talked about what God has been doing in my life and in her life. what an amazing story this woman has. 

sitting on the train after Floreesh got off I put on my headphones to my ipod. I was listening to many songs, but one in particular stood out. Majesty (Here I Am) by Delirious. what a great song. I was just listening deeply to the lyrics 

Here I am humbled by your Majesty
Covered by your grace so free
Here I am, knowing I'm a sinful man
Covered by the blood of the Lamb

Now I've found the greatest love of all is mine
Since you laid down your life
The greatest sacrifice

Majesty, Majesty
Your grace has found me just as I am
Empty handed, but alive in your hands
Majesty, Majesty
Forever I am changed by your love
In the presence of your Majesty

Here I am humbled by the love that you give
Forgiven so that I can forgive
Here I stand, knowing that I'm your desire
Sanctified by glory and fire

Now I've found the greatest love of all is mine
Since you laid down your life
The greatest sacrifice



wow! I just love this song! He loves us SO much He laid down His life for us. I have known that for a long time but never really truly thought about what all that meant. 
Majesty? what does that even mean? I looked in the dictionary and it means
1. impressive stateliness, dignity, or beauty
2. royal power
our Father God is all of this. He has the royal power. he is more beautiful than anything and person. He has the greatest love. He sacrificed himself. He has the power to do so much but He lets us choose the life we live. He dont want us to be robots. 
I am going to Stand. Stand firm in what I believe. I am His desire and I want Him to be my desire. full heartedly. no more half heart. I want God to use me in so many ways while I am on this trip here in Seattle. I want to go back to Minnesota with a better and bigger understanding of what God has planned for my life and where He wants me to be. 

He is the greatest sacrifice. HE is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, He is Christ our Saviour and Redeemer, our LORD. 

Getting off the train today I was met by some project friends. Brooke, Megan, Mindy, and Uncle Tom. they are all so great. We went out to buy some dinner and get a few groceries. I know that I am going to make some life long friendships here. they are just so hilarious and awesome. so then we came back to the dorms @ SPU (Seattle Pacific University). I took a NICE LONG COLD shower. and already the day is just about over. so Crazy! lol.

I am just so excited to see what God has planned for our day tomorrow. 
another great adventure I can not wait to have :)



I am sorry. I totally just went on a tangent. lol.
