It's just You and me here now

There is something so amazing about singing in a room of people, hearing all their voices, and yet being completely alone with God. Tonight, at the last oppertunity to worship together as a Simpson community, I was somewhat disappointed with how few people showed up. When we started to pray and worship, I remembered how intimate a small group worshiping together can be. Seeing the heart of next year's worship team makes me really excited for next year, and at the same time so heartbroken that this year is already at a close. This year as been full of struggle, pain, growth, confusion, trust, joy, and peace. It certainly has been a journey. Now I am about to leave the place I now consider my home, and leave those I consider my family; and return to where I come from. I'm not going to lie, I'm scared. Summer is always such a hard time for me, because I don't have the same type of Christian community there as I do at Simpson. Tonight while we were singing, we sang "It's just You and me here now, it's only You and me here now." As that was sang over and over, I stopped singing to listen. I felt God telling me that. It's just me and you. That's all you need. I will be with you this summer. There is nothing to worry about, because I will be there with you, and I will provide what you need. I know now I can face this summer, and I will make it a time of growth and renewal before I come back to Simpson. I am so excited about stepping up and becoming a prayer leader and getting more involved at the Stirring. For now, I will focus on whatever plans God has for me this summer, and remain in his joy.
