Beautiful

"I look up to the sky, and say....You're beautiful."

First of all, I love Phil Wickham's music. It's so good and true.
One of my favorite songs is by him, it's called "Beautiful."
Not only is the melody absolutely genius, but the words have such deep, spiritual meaning.

Second of all, I listened to this song as I was walking in the snow on campus. I love the snow...
(Call me crazy, but winter rocks my socks)
But yes. I don't know so much what it is, but i love the snow.
I was walking in the snow, it was snowing, and I was listening to this song.
I know this sounds slightly cheesy, but I looked up to the sky of falling snow, and said "Wow. It's so beautiful."
My Dad created that.
How my Dad created something so beautiful...it amazes me. It just once again shows me how incredible Jesus is.

On another note...
The other day the Lord gave me a vision. He gave me the sight of a foot/ankle.
There was a shackle around it.
The thing is though, the shackle was broken and on the floor.
The shackle was around the foot, but it didn't have any grip/touching it,
--
It was just surrounding it.
--
Broken.
--
On the floor.
--
And the foot?
Just standing there.
It could walk out, be free, but it didn't.
Stood there. Waiting.
(I then remembered that someone had a similar vision this summer in Chicago)

And then I started thinking about the Treasure Hunters at my church.
(Treasure Hunting is where we get together and pray. The Lord gives us clues on who to talk to, where to go, etc. And then we follow those clues and pray for those people.)
I went a couple of weeks ago, and wow. 
The Lord tells commands us in Mark 16:15: "And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation."
Students as young as middle school brave enough to pray in public.
--In public.
--Where everyone can see.
--Where sometimes peer pressure can be the worst.
--
Never doing this before, some (not picking anyone out, my first time I was just the same) were nervous. They had never done something like this before, (I had not either until my first time as a Senior in High School) and through the Lord, they built the courage do this.
--They didn't care about the judgement.
--The Lord became their focus.
--And it was like taking a dog off it's leash.
They were unstoppable; they became desperate for the Lord and broken for the Lost.
 --
They stepped out of their broken shackle.
They started to run into the Marvelous Light, and straight into the Definition of Love's Arms.
--
If this isn't enough, after we all parted for the day, encouragement stuck with them.
Things started happening on their own.
--When they didn't have a group to support them.
--They didn't have the numbers for someone to say "Group of People. Makes Sense."
--They stepped out on their own.
--And the Lord did even more.
*Praying for someone while bystanders watched: Smirking, laughing, and making fun of.
*Praying for someone that they saw.
*Praying for teachers at school.
*Healing.
They ran into their Dad's arms, and forgot about the worldly influence.
--

There's an Army rising up.
To Break every chain,
Break every chain,
Break every chain.

The Lord gave me a chorus one day while I was writing.
He not only gave me part of a song, but He gave me instruction.
He said.

"I gave you My Hands.
 I gave you My Feet.
 I'm daring you to move, go ahead, and Glorify Me.
 I'm testing your heart, where nobody sees,
 Go and Love the Un-Loved,
 A Love that is Me."

That's what Mark 16:15 says.
Go out into all the World...
Go and love them.
Give them a Love that is Me.

---
Tomorrow, a group of Treasure Hunters are going out.
Please pray for them.
