Last night, I had the pleasure of knowing everybody was home and in their own "place" in our house. It's so good to have Avery and Lex home. Lex had a great time at Pepperdine and Avery had a very successful rocket launch and journey home.
I will post more later regarding the launch, but for now...
Yesterday morning we were in the middle of our rehearsal time. Singing through the music we would soon be sharing with the church. One of our praise team members stopped us and shared her heart and a scripture....
We were singing "Be Unto Your Name". (From ZOE Heart of Worship CD)
She said she couldn't sing it without thinking about Revelation and then proceeded to read to us what was on her heart.
"...Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty --
the one who always was, who is, and who is still to come." (4:8)
"You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power..."(4:11)
The scripture was beautiful. We love that song and have sung it many times, but yesterday, I saw it differently. Fresh, full of the Spirit. We knew it was from scripture, but to be stopped and have our attention brought back to it was a wonderful experience amidst the "rehearsal" time.
So today as I reflect on those few minutes, I'm very grateful for people who give their hearts in service to God. People who do what they do not for the glory or attention of it, (which can be a down fall to some Worship Teams and/or Leaders), but simply because they are in love with their Savior and in awe of their God and want to share that with others.
Blessings...

I want to love God and his message more. Ego often takes my center stage.
Amen Sandra.
I was actually pretty sure that the person who shared was who you told me it was. How awesome to be able to stop whatever you're doing, wherever you are, and be aware of the opportunity to worship.
