MY MIND, HEART & BODY MAY BURST!

Oh.
Man.

Cornerstone=The closest we may ever get to heaven on earth.

I miss everyone desperately. That short term experience of true community was amazing yet has become agonizing because it made me realize what it means to have it, this thing we are called to live in and God calls us to it because of how it fills our souls.

I don't really know how to share any one experience, and it would take hundreds of posts to even come close.

It is sort of like when you feel that there are no words to describe God's love.
So I think I will leave it at that.
A glimpse of heaven.

Besides that, it has never felt so good to be thrown around, shaken up, and slammed against a wall spiritually.

We are not called to comfort as Christians. The only comfort we can receive is through Jesus Christ, and I for one am ready to get uncomfortable for the sake of his name.

Anyone with me?

Oh Lindsay you and your ideas that make me do things when I should be doing something else. . .

Ok. . . taking direction from lindsaycorinn, (see Miles & Lindsay I can do it! :) )
I thought I would also throw out what I am most excited about for Cornerstone.

BANDS

• Relient K-Lindsay and I can support each other amongst the teens throwing skittles and such
• Cool Hand Luke-Totallly representative of my first summer at East Bay and is the one CD that got me through a very hard time dealing with first hand witnessing of child abuse.
• Anberlin-Because why not.
• David Crowder-Because I never have.
• Mewithoutyou-because love them and I never have.
• Showbread-I get the feeling they would put on a pretty good show.
• Norma Jean & Underoath-Only because I am hoping they redeem themselves in some capacity, from my previous experiences with their not so "shining" behavior.
• Glenn Kaiser Band-Because Nate is sooo excited and it cracks me up.

These are obviously just my top picks, I hope to experience much, much more music.

I will post more about seminars and movies later. I really need to shower and be productive, but ahhhh this day off is glorious!

Back in the saddle

So, I must admit, I did one of these my freshman year of college but good ole Lindsay Corinn got me inspired again!

So, today I had a day off. Which was nice, but not really a day off, because I scheduled a voice lesson, and Nate had praise team rehearsal. However did just awake from a glorious two hour nap.

This next week I will pray for a lot of strenght and endurance because my boss is in Paris so I am working every single day until next Sunday. OOFTAH! But it is alwas nice to have the hours and to save money.

Tomorrow will be a long day to start the week too. We have church in the mrning, then I leave church early for work, then I leave work and go back to church for youth group.

I must admit I find myself being a little envious of Nate. He is all finished with his first year of seminary, and I have never been so proud of him! But it was my first realization that I don't get a summer break anymore. Welcome to the workforce! It is a little hard to accept. I want so badly to be able to pick up and go to Mama Helle's and just run around the yard and savor the simplicity and the lushness of God's Creation. That place feeds my soul and my brain and my heart. We are planning to go to Cornerston of course, but I don't know if we will make it there before that, and it saddens me. Nate will be down there every so often to help Uncle Rod and Grandpa work on the hunting lodge. It is a project that I am praying works out for all involved.

Also, call me a dork, but Nate and I are getting ready to purchase a tent for Cornerstone. YEP! After 23 year of doing without, I am going to make it there! I am sooooooooo excited! Not just for the shows (because I am already almost peeing my pants for Cool Hand Luke), but for the seminars too! Nate is really excited about a Zombie one, and there is a C.S. Lewis one that I am really looking forward too.
