"more than a man"

who do people say the son of man is?
some say a teacher, some say a prophet.
who do people say the son of man is?
some say a healer, son of Joseph, son of God.

more than a man to me-

more than a man to me-

more than a man to me-

more than a man to me-

who do we say the son of man is?
is he alive? is he a lovesick man?
who do we say the son of man is?
is he really here? is he in my heart?

more than a man to me-
(jesus you are)
more than a man to me-
(jesus you are)
more than a man to me-
(jesus you are)
more than a man to me-

what can i say about my Love?
he captured my heart, when he chose me again
what can i say about the Lamb?
right from the start, he's been holdin' my hand

(he's) more than a man to me-
(jesus you are)
more than a man to me-
(jesus you are)
more than a man to me-
(jesus you are)
more than a man to me-
(jesus you are)

how low you went, just to catch my eye, when you called me again.
and again...

chorus again.

orlando

there have been several things i like about this trip.
the conference was great.
some of those worship services were so moving,
and each message was like Chopin to our ears.

terri terry did her life's message again, the one about eros love and agape love and the trees in the garden, and even though i had heard it like 3 times, i was so touched by it still.
derek shared his usual message on "true discipleship". i had heard that 3 times too, i knew where the jokes went, i knew the content, but i still cried when i heard it. it was the best i've ever heard him preach it. plus the message itself is so like beautiful. its lovely because Jesus is lovely!
i bought the cd. lol. y'all back home will hear it.

then yesterday, sunday, derek shared on fatherless-ness and adoption, and talked about his story of adopting the girls 5 years ago and the boys this summer, and i was stirred from it, like loving these kids. i'm pretty excited for the ukraine boys to come.
at least 20 couples went up afterwards for prayer about adopting. 20 couples!
the Lord is really doing something here.

also our host family is awesome! last night Climento (host) wanted us to share our story with him, so we all did and he shared his and he spoke into our lives reminding us the importance of loving people. the couple is from colombia, and he says 'beautiful' a lot. describing things.

we went to the hospital yesterday to pray for his mother and sister, and his mother started getting better, it was pretty cool. we are cooking them lunch today. they are awesome.
they cook us every meal, not like "the fridge" like eggs for breakfast, lasagna for dinner, its really special.

so today mark is picking me up, pretty excited, we're going to eat somewhere and then who knows. tonight we are going to Lakeland revival, see whats happening there.
tomorrow we go to the beach.

anyways, its going good.

what God wants

i was thinking about the revival in Lakeland and the revival coming here, and what God was doing in the States.
i cant wait to see healings and manifestations of the Spirit, its going to be really exciting and people's faith will increase and its an exciting time.
but i keep reminding myself and keeping myself in check with this, "even if all these creative miracles take place and i am used as an instrument, if i dont have love inside me i have NOTHING"

kurt weaver's (a student) wife had a dream
in the dream was a scale (the see-saw kind) and on one side was a jar of blood with babies handprints on it (and it was heavier on that side of the scale) and on the other side were little jars with tears the each bottle had a label on it, the smaller jars of tears were labeled "abortion" and "human trafficking" the larger jars were labeled "physical healing" "financial breakthrough"

its not that those aren't good things to pray for, but in Isaiah 1 and 58 the word says, i will pour out my blessings when you take care of the widows, orphans and aliens.
let us have our hearts in the right place,
Love God first, Love others
