Adoro Gesù

(translation: I worship Jesus)

as hard as the last few days have been, my spirits have now been lifted.
1) worship music does wonders for a person's attitude.
2) miracles do happen...

yesterday they took out the respirator/ventilator thing and he could breath on his own! he was/is weak, but he's improving. and tomorrow morning they are going to put in a pacemaker that they had said in the past they couldn't put in. prayers, even from around the world, are heard. how exciting :)

also, i'm going to this youth conference in Bari, a city about 3 hours south of here. it's going to be great...
the title, "perque io vinco", means "because I win." the theme is based on 1 John 5:4, which says, "For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith."

it's next saturday. and then sunday/monday we're going on another road trip. assisi and sienna here we come!
i'm excited.

so. i feel like i've been on a kind of emotional rollercoaster. or just a big drop and then a big, sudden hill. the thing is, it happened before i even found out about my uncle doing so much better. the Lord does great things, huh?


let us press on to know Him
let us press hard into Him
and as surely as the coming of the dawn
He will respond
oh, that we might know the Lord...
