[Greater Things, Ex Nihilo]

So today was a loooong day.  I got up, went to water aerobics, came home, showered, went to a consult to get my wisdom teeth out, ended up having to wait for TWO HOURS since the surgeon I needed to to consult with was behind in his surgery schedule (thus spending over half of my day at the UW hospital), came home, made dinner, then went to the Fall member's meeting for our campus at Mars Hill Church (we are members at the Ballard campus).  It went long, which was totally cool by me because it was awesome, but now I am exhausted and don't have the gusto to write anything more than this.  I've loved getting all the feedback and my intention is totally to be on top of responding... intentions don't always equal reality, though, so we shall see.

I am writing a li'l ditty about the meeting for our campus blog, so if it gets published I'll point you all there.  For now, feel free to check out this song.  It's an original written by a Mars Hill Band (we have actual bands that lead worship, which is awesome.) and it's such good music paired with equally awesome lyrics- the way church music should be.

Disclaimer: if you think church + drums/bass/guitars = heresy then you won't like this.  For the rest of you, this song is awesome.  All of the music on the website is recorded live so that's why the quality isn't studio-type; it's still freaking amazing, though.  Enjoy.

EDIT:  So the first time our church sang this was this past summer when I was home on bed rest.  My husband came home and told me it was written by our worship pastor, Tim Smith.  But when one of my friends commented to say that they sang it at her church I thought I had better verify, and, come to find out my husband misheard what Pastor Tim said, because the song was written by a band called Bluetree and is on a Passion CD, though I think they call it "God of this City".  Jas figures Pastor Tim was probably saying that he wrote / reworked the music that goes with song, to make it more rocker-ish.  Regardless, I don't want to be misleading, so this is not actually a true Mars Hill Original; it's still an AWESOME song :)
