Unmovable!

Unmovable. Unshakeable. 
Let my roots grow down deep. 
Unmovable. Unshakeable in You.

And I wanna be like a tree
Planted by the streams 
Of living waters.

I know. I know. enough with the rooted theme right? But I couldn't help but post the words of this song.  These words were stuck in my head as soon as I heard them! I mean, this is my greatest desire and a constant prayer of my heart.  When I heard this song the first picture that came to my mind was a strong, plush tree growing by a beautiful rushing stream with clear, fresh water.  I want to be that tree!  As a student at a public university, lies are constantly being thrown at me, and in order to reveal theses as lies I have to be founded in Jesus Christ!  For me, this means staying in God's word, praying continually (1 Thessalonians 5:17), and having faith in my God!  A tree that is planted far from a water source is not as strong.  So we must make sure that we are surrounded by the living water (aka Jesus!) that will help us dig deep roots.  In my own life, I have consistently seen that when I neglect getting into God's Word and spending time in conversation with my Heavenly Father, I get discouraged and find it easier to be swayed by some of the world's lies.
