That's right, friends....the Passion: White Flag Cd had finally come...and it was a day early!! It wasn't supposed to be released until today!
I have been looking forward to this day since, well, the day I left Passion. It's been a little over 3 months. Now, I know you're probably thinking, "really Kaci? It's a CD." And, "here she goes, talking about Passion again." I understand that...but it is so much more than just a CD. And it is so much more than just Passion. I wish I could explain better in words about how Passion has impacted my life in so many ways. It was so much more than just "another conference".
Think about something in your life that has impacted your life significantly! It changes you. You're not the same person after. You are forever changed. And because that "thing" whatever it may be has changed you, in most situations you are going to talk about it. You can't not talk about it.
For me, Passion was one of those life changing moments. I haven't been the same since. So many amazing things happened there, and I still can't believe I was there and a part of it. I am so so grateful that I had that opportunity. And I hope to go back. The Lord touched my heart in so many ways while there. In saying that, yes, I am going to talk about Passion a lot. I just can't help it.
The worship at Passion was incredible. I mean, anytime you have 45,000 people in a room singing at the top of their lungs, praising the Lord, and just going crazy....it is going to be powerful. As someone said, "It's a small glimpse of what heaven is going to be like!" That is the perfect way to describe it!
Now....I have a little piece of Passion here in Kansas, in my home. Literally! The CD was recorded at Passion. My voice is one of the 45,000 voices you here on the CD, crying out to God with all my heart. Raising my White Flag. Surrendering all I am to HIM! Lifting His name on high! God used the words of every song you will find on this CD to touch my heart. To speak to me. To experience Him in a deeper way. To be my anthem songs.
I'm not usually one to try and "sale" things to people. Actually, I never do that, but I think I am gonna have to change that today. haha I just want you to know in case you were wondering, it would be well worth the $12 to buy this CD. I just know the impact Passion has had on my life, and while you were not able to actually be there, this is a way to experience a piece of it! And when you buy the CD, I encourage you to go some place where it's just you and this CD....no distractions. Turn it up loud. Listen to the words. Sing the words. Cry out to God and see what happens!
Today has been a beautiful, beautiful day partly because of the weather outside, and partly because I have been listening to the CD on repeat...and probably will everyday for a while! It's just so good! This afternoon I put in my earphones, turned on my iPod (that way I wouldn't disturb my roommates) in my room, cranked up the sound, and I had a dance/worship/go crazy party...just me and Jesus. The only reason I am telling you that, because I realize that probably sounds silly to some people, but I encourage you to do the same. Who says you have to be in a room full of people to have praise and worship?!?! :) Maybe you have never done anything like that, just a warning: you might feel a little silly at first. But I promise once you get going, you won't even think about it. It'll be awesome. Let loose. Go crazy! And maybe lock your door... :)
Or, you could just crank it up and listen to it in your car. That works really well too! :)
"My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing and make music with all my soul. Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn. I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples. For great is your love, higher than the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, and let your glory be over all the earth."
Psalm 108:2-5
If you do buy the CD, let me know how you like it! I would love to hear your thoughts!
