our team officially kicked off the semester yesterday. italian students are slowly returning to florence, and we're trying to connect with them as they do. i must admit that i was not looking forward to returning to a normal schedule. the idea of getting back to campus, throwing myself back into italian language learning, and being intentional with students was far from the top of my list... and this was yesterday. it's weird to come off of a break just as weary as you began it.
but as i sit in my room this morning- spending time with Jesus and thinking through what is before me, i can't help but be excited. i purchased a new cd from itunes this morning- one that's a little old, but new to me- Passion: God of this City. i love how refreshing music can be- in all its varieties.
as for today, the Lord couldn't have been more clear:
You're the God of this city
You're the King of these people
You're the Lord of this nation
You Are
You're the Light in this darkness
You're the Hope to the hopeless
You're the Peace to the restless
You Are
There is no one like our God
There is no one like our God
For greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this city
Greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done here.
i can't wait.

Amen. Greater things are yet to come, and He is the God of this city Florence. Forever He is the light in the darkness, the hope to the hopeless. Thank you, Melody, for letting His light shine through you. Thank you for speaking the hope that is in the gospel of Jesus Christ. I love how personal He is, and how He spoke to you so clearly through this song. I love you and miss you!
