Something New

I'm excited about some of the things God is doing in my life. New songs. New friendships. Fresh revelation of truth that I understood with my head, but forgot with my heart. I've just written a song called "New Creation" based off the verse in II Corinthians 2:17.

To be honest, I just sat down Sunday afternoon glanced at a list of verses to memorize and thought someone should write a song based off that verse. I think God moved through the song to minister to my heart. I was actually weeping by the end of the song. So, this theme of being a new creation just is resonating deep within me, and I'm going for my usual walk around the block with my ipod when this hymn came on. Yes, I know how unusual it is for someone my age to have "America's 100 Best Loved Hymns" on my ipod, but I do. They're actually really good. I can't believe people don't sing them anymore.

"The Church's one foundation,
is Jesus Christ her Lord,
She is His "new creation" ,
By water and the Word,
From Heaven He came and sought her,
To be His holy bride;
With His own blood He bought her,
And for her life He died,"- "The Church's one foundation" (empasis and quotes mine).


Cool, huh?

It's even cooler to find out one of my best friends, Matt, just got engaged this past Sunday and another friend Benny from college is getting married too. It's kinda crazy to think that God has used my life in some way in their lives. I'm excited to see what God will do next.
