So tonight as I worshiped with countless other students at Grove City College's All Campus Worship, the worship team played the Hillsong song "With Everything". Now as the song went on the line "our earthly crowns and all our desires, we lay at your feet" stuck out to me. Maybe its because I just started reading the book Humility: True Greatness by C.J. Mahaney or perhaps it's because there are some things in life that I want to do but I'm being held back in hopes of something better.
But then near the end of the song there is this part on which everyone goes "woah....." and holds/keeps singing it for however long.
Choked up feeling experienced right there.
For the whole time that part was sung, all I heard in my head was my little brother when he sang this at our high school's youth group. I guess one could say that this feeling is the way I miss my brother. And hey you're probably right. Even though my brothers and I don't necessarily have the closest sibling relationships, I know that we all do love each other and at whatever time miss each other for one reason or another. Seems as though for Michael, music is what brings him up in my life. I guess this is just another humble plug for him, but you should check his voice out here.
As for those who've come this far in reading this short post.
Take these next few minutes and listen to this song [in a quiet place] and just think about all that is happening in your life. The good, the bad, the joyful, the sad.

Then try to answer the question, what exactly am I living for?
So I've been lazy in posting anything for the past several months. I hope to get in a swing of things once more. We'll see.
