My God has blessed me with a heart of worship. I am constantly learning that worship is SO much more than music and singing. When you are a part of this family of God, living a life of worship includes everything that you do. For me it means that I have to look at my entire life as an opportunity to give God worship.
This weekend, Eva and I had some friends over to hang out. I am totally falling in love with these people. I also am realizing how much I need them in my life. What a great time we had eating BBQ and getting to know each other better. Great times.
I also am praying for my friend. This weekend, my dear friends, the Barnards have had some struggles. Alisha has been sick and had to go to the hospital on Friday. I was able to visit her on yesterday and spend some time being an encouragement to Jim. My prayer is that Alisha gets better.
What I’m trying to say is that as a worship leader, sometimes even I can get wrapped up in the ‘job’ of ‘leading worship’. A life of worship sometimes includes fellowship with other believers. It sometimes means encouraging friends. I’m learning how to be a worshiper. I’m learning how to be who God is called me to be…
I hear your heart, Harry. One of my favorite songs is by Steven Curtis Chapman, “Moment Made For Worshiping”. It speaks to us all who get wrapped up in believing that worship is about music or songs that we sing or instruments we play or maybe how to lead others in praise. In truth “worship” is a lifestyle, I am learning this also. Every moment no matter how mundane is a moment given to us by our Lord, therefore it is a moment made for worshiping. I love the thought of worship being a part of every moment that I live in, all of my actions and words, all of my thoughts and dreams are ways that I can learn how to be a true worshiper. All of us can be worshiper’s, no matter our skill level or gift of song. Worship is the cry from our heart that says, “Everything I am belongs to you and everything you are sustains me.”
Thanks for reminding me of this today…..now I have to get back to the duties of a domestic goddess…..all the while worship streams from my heart.
