Passion 2014!

The Passion Conference was absolutely stunning.

Highlights:

• the freedom to walk around wherever we wanted in downtown Houston (as long as we arrived on time)
• the Houston Police Chaplain escorting us through an underground tunnel that shot all the way across downtown
• jumping rope with complete strangers while we waited for doors to open
• a stadium full of 17,000+ college students praising God
• the worship team(s) created new, never-heard-before songs especially for the Passion Conference
• Hillsong
• listening to Louie Giglio, Francis Chan, Beth Moore, and Judah Smith speak
• "if you work on your character, no matter what happens [facing the unknown future and making big scary decisions about careers, opportunities, etc.], you won't waste your life"
• "where you stand has the power to determine where you walk, but where you walk will never determine where you stand"
• experiencing God's grace a whole new level
• "10,000 reasons" sung by more than 10,000 people
• praying for a homeless man on the street with my peers
• reviving the passion for Jesus Christ in my heart

The whole weekend was an incredible experience and I wish I could give more than a few fragments of it, but sometimes it feels so futile to use words. Truly, humility is being an English major without words, the very things I have staked thousands of dollars and hours of study upon and still, I am utterly speechless.
