Seemingly Invincible


I must say it is an absurd, embarrassing state that I have not blogged in such a long time. I feel as if I have lost my touch for writing. And although I am in the midst of studying and completing the last of my college applications, I feel as if I must say one short thing. I am sitting here, listening to Owl City's version of In Christ Alone. A little side note, Owl City is my favorite, band/group/whatever they might be considered, and In Christ Alone is my favorite song. I always tell my mom that if I die early, I want that song to be played at my funeral. As morbid as that sounds, it is the absolute truth. It came out in their blog last night http://owlcityblog.com/2010/10/25/my-hope-is-found/ and I have been replaying it countless times, it's borderline shameful, but I'm a sucker for this song. This song makes me feel invincible. It takes me to a place where I feel no hurt, no pain - almost the equivalent to the days of childhood. Except instead of childhood innocence towards violence, suffering and pain, I know those things but more than that, I know my Jesus. I know that He has conquered those things and in Him, my hope, my life, my all is found in Him. It is a truly incomprehensible concept. And as I am sitting here listening nothing but the click of my keyboard, the light putter of the rain, and the voice of Adam Young, I am enthralled by God's beauty and love.
In Christ ALONE...
