Moved by God
“How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?”
I love the ocean. This is something that I didn’t really know about myself until this trip. I love to listen to the waves. I love to look for the perfect necklace shell. I love to touch the sand and walk in it. I love the fishy smell of the ocean. I even like the seagulls. I love that you can’t see the end or the beginning. Just like God, the ocean just is.
“How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?”
People fascinate me. Everyone has such an interesting story to share. Everyone is unique, but so similar. I like to watch people. Ask my dad, I hate shopping, so he and I would watch people at the mall. Today I watched people and I am amazed by the creation of ‘us’. I love that you can’t find two people the same. God loves to create.
“How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?”
I have a friend who loved to build things. I have another friend who loves the Latino culture, a friend who loves to sing, one who loves to play guitar, and one who loves to act. Still another friend loves to write, one really likes to read (especially this week), and one likes to paint. I know people who love math, others that love biology, others that love to learn about computers. God gives passion.
“How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?”
As we get closer to Holy Week I am reminded more than most parts of the year what it means to be moved by God. It is a call to follow Him as a response to Jesus’ sacrifice. A response to an incredible act of grace. As I stand with Christ looking at my life how can I stand here and not be moved by Him? God loves.
“How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you? You are all I want, you are all I need, you are everything…”

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you? That is exactly how I feel every time I read a new blog, think about a week in Haiti or Lousiana. It is how I feel each time I marvel at the miracles done in Jesus' name. Laura, Steph, Kelly, Josh, Jesse; you have touched thousands of lives in your ministry called Latreia. Thanks be to God that you are who you are! Love the ocean, love the books, love the sand and the smiles and the tears. Don't stop loving... as Christ loved, so should we love... a Latreia sort of love.... DADBILL
