For Kenya this year what Gavin Audagnotti is doing is he's letting each of the team members pick one song that is really close to their heart. Like, one of those songs to where when you turn it on you just feel deep in your heart that you need to worship, It speaks to you. He's doing this so that when we worship it won't be some random song that he picked, It'll bring us to that place with God. And my automatic choice was the song From the Inside Out by Hillsong United. When ever that song is on my iPod I just want to break myself down for God. I can't really explain it, But if any of y'all have ever been to Y.F.N. before you know what i mean. It's sort of like the feeling to where God consumes you so much that you don't know whether to sit, stand, jump around, be still, raise your arms, or just fall flat on your face!! You're so in love with god that you don't know really what to do. For me, that's how the song From the Inside Out is! I don't know what it is, but i love it!!
One thing that i find with music is that it can sound really amazing, But the lyrics are lacking. With that song though, it doesn't.
A thousand times i've failed, still your mercy remains. And should i stumble again, I'm caught in your grace. Your will above all else, still my purpose remains the art of loosing myself in bringing you praise. Everlasting your light will shine when all else fades. Never ending your glory goes beyond all fame. And the cry of my heart is to bring you praise. From the inside out Lord my soul cries out. My heart and my soul, i give you control. Consume me from the inside out Lord. Let justice and praise become my embrace, To love you from the inside out.
I think that every person needs something that speaks such truth into their life that they can't even find a loop-hole [for lack of a better word]. This world needs more Christians who are willing to desire such an intimacy with God. More christians who are willing to loose themself in praising God with a purity that surpasses all sin and doubt.
I had no idea what i was gonna blog about, and this is what came from typing out what was on my heart. So take that cookie and eat it!! :D

Pretty much I was told that they're fine with me wearing skirts as long as I wear modest shorts underneath.
...I'm slightly disappointed though. I do loathe nation games... But I'll play if I must.
