Spring break was more than needed. I got a tad bit of rest and worked quite a bit. The best part of it all was the two day trip my mom and I took to Southern California. We stopped by my grandmas, shopped with my sister, stayed with my sister and visited APU! APU was incredible. I got to see an old friend and meet some really cool people. I'm so excited to begin my major and minor courses at Azusa Pacific University. I wish it would come sooner. My mom and one of the current students at APU who was a transfer (just like I will be) sat together at Wednesday nights Kaleo service (chapel). It was amazing, the message, the worship, and the prayers all impacted me and I've brought it all home with me. The following is one of the songs the extremely talented worship band sang/played, I love this song.
In Christ Alone
In Christ alone my hope is found,He is my light, my strength, my song;
this Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All,
here in the love of Christ I stand.
In Christ alone! who took on flesh
Fulness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones he came to save:
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied -
For every sin on Him was laid;
Here in the death of Christ I live.
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain:
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave he rose again!
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me,
For I am His and He is mine -
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.
No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath.
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.
Over and Out,
SGD
