Ryan's Journal

Cross Products guest grouped for Harvard Law's Cross Examination out in this church's really cool building. Stained glass windows, high arching ceilings, and lots of wood, with sliding doors and balconies. But enough of the building - it's really cool to sing with and get to know other groups in praise of God. This particular group loses 80% of its members each year, but I think God really wants that kind of influence right there - they keep going. Each group has its own distinct sound, and this year Cross Examination sounded very a cappella-ish.

This little frosh, however, was busy learning some lessons from Search for Significance. Such as the completely unreasonable assumption that worth is based on others opinions. How long have I been living with that one? Yes, it definitely is inspiring to know that Jesus loves me. No matter what, even if I act like a fool and almost break my back. It really is strange how sometimes I feel like I'm offending people - hopefully God can make use out of whatever's so raw and unrefined in me. As much comfort as it gives to know His unfailing love, I hope He doesn't want me constantly offending people.

Actually, today was even stranger in the respect that I felt both close and far from God. Like I was really beginning to understand some things about, but personally I was drawing a little farther out. And I'd rather not have that happen, life is too short to fall into cycles of up and down so frequently. Harvard Law titled tonight after the song "Wonderful Invention (of Love)" - it is indeed wonderful. Take heed, self, that's not something to be taken lightly or ignored. Understand what full of wonder must have meant when the author penned those lyrics. He must be an incredible God to be able to invent love.
