I am excited for a few reasons...
1. It's Thursday and that means tomorrow is Friday and then I get a nice two day weekend...
2. It's the end of a very tough day at school. I was thinking about writing about how bad kids these days are, but then I would just sound like those crabby elderly people.
3. I am the most excited because tonight we have the Quest. I don't know why I am always looking forward to it. I think its because I can be myself there. I can worship however I want. I can sing--or not--as loud as I want. I can experience God.
I look forward to the weekly encounters with God at the Quest. I get fed there. I worship best through music, and the music really is great there.
I know that I shouldn't just be looking to meet with God once a week, that I should be doing it daily. I try, but fail time after time. The Quest provides me with a time where I have to choose. I can choose to meet with God or I can choose not to. Sometimes its hard, whether its the difficult people fooling around next to you, or its the million of thoughts going through your head. But, when I can shut everything else out and envision million of people standing--or kneeling-- around the throne of God with their voices loud, their hands held high, singing praises to the creator, I want to be there.
I will choose to meet with God tonight. I need to experience his love and mercy. I need to be with others who also want the same thing.
God, just show up at the Quest tonight. Give us a word, inspire us to be better, to be more like your son.

Hey, just wanted to let you know your not alone about being excited to go to the quest. i feel like i can actually worship the way i choose to also. at Colonial Woods, i think it is different because there are alot of people there that are serious about wanting to get more from god. i don't understand, but i try to block them out, but at the quest it is different, but that's why i look forward to it too.
I am glad that you feel comfortable there too. That is really how we envisioned it to be. A close knit community, where people could come and unload, unwind, or connect. I am excited that is happening.
I am SO glad that this posted, my internet crashed as soon as I pushed publish. I was bummed when I went to the Quest, but I am so excited to see that it worked :)
it's all kind of mysterious isn't it? We ask God to come close and sometimes he does and other times he's as silent as a father-in-law from a previous marriage. Can we, wil we worship in spite of the evidence of His presence?? Hope so.
