I sit here at 3:00 am in the morning still in awe of what God did today. I have been going to Lighthouse since 2006, and I can’t remember a more emotion-filled, heartfelt night. This was more than a service. My friends I felt like we were reaching toward the heavens. I was overwhelmed with the power of the one voice of our collective seeking GOD. The emotions that filled my soul were not of this earth. It is amazing what one story can do. The pain of person and willingness of that person to share and literally open a heart to us into places not normally invited into. The rawness of this heart that yearns for God. Today I was amazed at us all and most importantly, OUR GOD!

The words, OH HOW HE LOVES US…..OH HOW HE LOVES US!!! It’s amazing to think that our God could love us like no one else. We are broken, a lot of us wanting to feel more love. To know that our Savior loves us. It’s so simple yet so powerful that it can bring tears to our eyes and break down our walls and hearts. I am truly blessed to get a opportunity to be with you all. This is not the end all, by any means. It is our beginning and our end. We are so lucky to be able to worship like this. We, as a collective, have no idea how much it impacted many of us. I am in awe of so many of you just singing with your hearts and soul. My heart is raw because, as one of my friends would say, “I went under the knife.” I was there thinking about my life and seeing how powerful our stories are and how we can be powerful to each other. I encourage you to listen to the podcast of Scott Crosby’s story or Angela Holdridge’s story if you haven’t already.

I leave this to you, my brothers and sisters: please realize how powerful and how big our God is. He calms the seas. He places the stars how he wants them. He knows us. He loves us. OH HOW HE LOVES US!
