a heart changed

this weekend i had the privilege of hanging with an amazing group of kids from one of the coolest churches in the world!!!we had spring retreat…ACESNT 08!!!……and that is what we did….ASCENDED!!! 
the earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.   Who may ascend the hill of the LORD?   Who may stand in his holy place?  
coming with clean hands and a pure heart into the presence of the LORD will change everything about you!!! there is nothing like it!!! we spent Friday night and Saturday morning learning about what it meant to come to God clean and ready to receive……then the storm rolled in…..we were forced into a metal building (over a tent with metal poles) to wait out the lightning storm….it felt like prison….there was not enough room….it was loud…it was hot….and it started to smell…..then we started singing……right after that…we were able to return to the tent…..we started worship….it was drizzling….there were a few who braved the rain to have more room to worship…..then everything changed….The presence of the Lord feel all over that place and people meet Jesus!!!!at one point it started raining harder…..not too bad…but hard enough to feel like a cleansing!!i stood there arms high…face to the sky…allowing my God to literally wash over me……with every drop….He as there!!!  With every breath….came healing!!i headed back into the tent for second…when I turned around….almost every student was standing in the rain worshipping God……some jumping…some dancing……some simply standing with hands held high to a loving God….it was incredible!!! 
for me……the healing waters washed away painanxiousness
