Filled With His Goodness, Lost In His Love
As I was worshiping this morning before I left for school, this old hymn popped into my mind. I was blessed by the reminder that we have assurance of eternity with Jesus once we have given our lives to him. No one can condemn us to any other destiny. So when I am discouraged of past or present failures, I will remind myself of my Blessèd Assurance in Christ Jesus my precious Savior and Lord! Because of God's abundant grace for his people I forever can be 'Filled with His goodness, lost in His love!' AMEN!

Romans 8:38-39
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. -NIV

I'm absolutely convinced that nothing--nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, 39high or low, thinkable or unthinkable--absolutely nothing can get between us and God's love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us. -The Message

Blessèd Assurance
Fan­ny Cros­by, 1873
Blessèd assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior, all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior, all the day long.

Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

Perfect submission, all is at rest
I in my Savior am happy and blest,
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

Sleepy But Worth It
Man, the Nickel Creek concert ROCKED! They call it bluegrass but they really ROCKED OUT last night! The instruments seemed turned up louder than normal. They played some old stuff, and then also some new stuff... One interesting song that I hope they put on their new album is called 'Oh Ye of Little Faith'. It was about being a 'doubting Thomas'. Anyway, I would like to hear it again and catch more of the lyrical meaning.

There was a great, fun part where the base player put down his base, and as Sean, Sara, and Chris played a fun instrumental, he did a little 'tap/river dance'. LOL! Great stuff!

Ok, now for the BEST part of the night... Nickel Creek had come out for an encore, played one or two more, and then (and I was kinda ready for this b/c I knew they did it in their shows), they stepped in front of the mics, unplugged their instruments, and called anyone who wanted to come down to the front, to stand in front of the stage. I grabbed Jill, Jill grabbed Anna and Kelly and we booked it down to the front. I think there were MAYBE 2 people in front of me, and we were dead center stage!!! It was sooo cool. So they proceded to play 2 more totally accoustic, and then the ENDING SONG.... the PERFECT way to end such a great concert... They ended with my all favorite hymn... Sara lead out singing, "Be Thou My Vision" as the guys sang harmony. I had only heard them do this live one other time, and I think this time was EVEN better!!! It was awesome! Can't wait till Merlefest!

Pictures to come....
