As I sat there and listened to the music that Friday night I felt an ache in my heart because I was watching students worship. My heart swelled with a feeling of complete awe and misunderstanding and my eyes teared up. We continued into our weekend with good conversations, hard situations, and the collision of who God is.
Saturday morning came and I sat in the back and watched. Nick got on stage and started telling his story. When Nick speaks I always seem to step back and look at my life. He told some heart wrentching stories and made some funny jokes, but there was something incredible and beautiful that was happening. God was entering the room. He sat there and weighed on hearts and moved around and tugged on souls. Tears came from my eyes because I saw God. Nick's words and stories were spoken in complete unconditional love, and in that moment, God was made complete and love was made perfect. I sat there and breathed in God. Tears flowed down my face because there was beauty there that I have only encountered once before in my life.
I want to collide with God. It scares the life out of me but I want to so desparatley collide with God. Because there is beauty and love in collision.

Ali-this was well said. I'm glad you were able to have that experience. I know I feel whenever I have a chance to hear Nick speak that God uses him.
best regards, nice info »
