Worthy Is The Lamb!

Today has been a very emotionally turbulent day. A week long convention that my church holds has just finished up and I find myself challenged, inspired, and wanting more out of my walk with God.

A friend opened herself up today in an incredible way, which served to draw the cords of friendship so much more tighter; not just between myself and her but throughout our whole group of friends.

I was also waiting for an important conversation with a christian man that I greatly respect,every minute of which was nerve wracking. (The waiting, not the conversation).

On top of all of this, tomorrow is the one year anniversary of the death of a very close friend. Memories, thoughts, hopes, and emotions have all been stirred up because of this. Some sad, many happy, and also not a few filled with hope by looking to the future. We graduated together and each wrote something in the other's yearbook. The last line of what he wrote goes like this, "I look forward to getting back together in the future." Does it make me cry? Absolutely. At the same time though, it makes me look forward to the future with great hope and joy because I know those words are just as true now as when he wrote them.

Now I'm at home listening to selected parts of Handel's oratorio, 'The Messiah', while going through school yearbooks remembering, and praising God. With all these emotional storms going on, the Solid Rock has ever been beneath me never moving or shifting, and I can truly say, 'Worthy is the Lamb that was slain.'
