Why is Hillsongs so awesome?

I love this song, we have been singing it at our church for the last year.

"Desert Song" by Hillsong

This is my prayer in the desert,
When all that's within me feels dry
This is my prayer in my hunger and need,
My God is the God who provides,

And this is my prayer in the fire,
In weakness, or trial, or pain,
There is a faith proved more worth than gold,
So refine me Lord through the flame,

I will bring praise, I will bring praise,
No weapon formed against me shall remain,
I will rejoice, I will declare,
God is my victory and He is here,

This is my prayer in the battle,
When triumph is still on its way,
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ,
So firm on his promise I'll stand,

All of my life, in every season,
You are still God, I have a reason to sing,
I have a reason to worship,

This is my prayer in the harvest,
when favor and Providence flow,
I know I'm filled to be emptied again,
The seed I've received I will sow.

Our pastors talk a lot about "seasons" of life and I think that is a great way to describe it. I am not sure what season I am in right now. Don't think is a battle or a fire but not sure if it is a harvest or a desert. I am kind of not sure about some things right now, not necessarily in a bad way, just not sure exactly where parts of my life are going.

Europe Update: Flights

Flights are currently sooooooooooooo expensive! We are flying LAX to Paris and then Amsterdam to LAX and I can't find anything less than $1500! People keep telling me to be patient and wait but it is so hard! I really hope we can get it closer to $1000 but we will see! I can't believe the trip is in 5 months and 16 days!
