Best Floor Meeting Ever!!!
I headed off to floor meeting tonight a little begrudgingly. Chris had come over for tea and we had to gulp it down because of floor meeting, however, we get to floor meeting and our RA announces that we'll be getting into our prayer groups, then we'll get assigned to a location where we will meet up with prayer groups from other floors. Ours was outside...I wasn't thrilled about that. So we bundled up and went out to the parking lot where we joined up with people from every other floor in Res and together we prayed through a whole list of prayer requests. It was so incredibly awesome.... and it gets better!
After praying through the list, we all went back inside to the underground parkade where all of Res got into a big circle, sang worship songs and served one another communion. Talk about bonding and unity and communing with one another. It was mind blowing!! I left with a completely different outlook and attitude. And so powerful to say to another person, "His is Christ's body, broken for you!"
One of the songs we sang, I've heard many times and have loved it. I own the CD. I've song along with it countless times but tonight the words really resonated with my heart, and the impact was huge, so I'll share them with you.

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
Fullness 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 it's grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Brought 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

Hey,
I just left you a comment right before you posted this. Now I'll leave you another one.
I love that song too. When life seems to be crashing down around you, He is the solid ground and the cornerstone. I needed a reminder of that tonight, so thanks for sharing!
Well, goodnight my invisibly handcuffed friend!!
I definitely agree with you! That night was awesome, I must admit I was a little skeptical at first but it turned out to be an incredibly evening. Talk about some awesome community building within rez! :)
I wish I had your fire.
Right now is not going good for me--spiritual or otherwise.
I'm envious of you heart for God.
Hey anonymous friend, I'll be praying for you. If you go to school with me or have my email, write me or pull me aside sometime. I'd love to talk and pray with you and just hear about what's going on in your life. And, always, talk to God about it. Your in my prayers!
