What do we do with this

So i decided to try this thing called blogging just to get some of my thoughts out there, so here it goes!

I just got back from this amazing conference called Passion, and if you are in the college aged range i would highly recommend saving up and going to this because it was probably the best thing i have been too! Sure it was crowded, but to look up while worshiping and see 45,000 students praising and glorifying God was absolutely incredible. But the thing is what do you do after? You leave this incredible place where you can feel God all around and then you head back to normal life that is full of temptations and pain. But is it really supposed to be normal after a week like that? How do you go from being on such a spiritual high.. to continuing that at home?

Louie Giglio said something when he spoke that really kind got this thought going. He said " is the name of Jesus going to echo back into everyday life?" As simple as that question is, it really made me think.. am i already echoing the name of Jesus in my life, and how do i echo it more? Thats the thing i want the most out of this, I want to shine the light of Jesus into the darkest of places, I want to be part of that city on a hill praising His name! Our God is so incredible, and this week really just reminded me of what a great and powerful God we serve!

His grace and mercy are what get me through the day, just knowing that He died for MY sin is such a powerful thing, and thats what i think helps us go back to normal life after such a God experience.  We are all unclean but by the grace and mercy of God we are made new everyday. Isn't that the best reason to go out and spread His word to an unclean world?


Less of me, and more of You.
