Blech… You know the days when you don’t really have anything wrong with you per-say, but you just feel miserable. Yeah today is one of those days. I feel like I just could stay laying down all day and not move or do anything cause my body feels just reading to give up. I hate this feeling, I love praying about it.When God moves in your body and removes the sickness I love that. I think though sometimes that we feel like this because we’ve been going to hard or not taking care of ourselves as well as we should have been and this is the end result. More than likely God has been saying “slow down” for a while and I just haven’t been listening and because of that I have a day, and hopefully only a day, of feeling not willing rasberry able to get up and do things. If we would just pay attention to the quiet voice I know we would have been able to hear the slow down we have spoke to us. One thing that is always good about this is that this means a day with my family. I love those days. Common with kids like mine you can’t argue they are both so good. Just awesome.So in the end maybe I’m not so upset I don’t feel good today… Later
Last night was my first time leading in what feels like months, even thought it’s only been a couple weeks. I love having the opportunity to worship with people that I love and I know love me. The band last night was awesome, Craig was playing guitar filling in for Brandon, and Chris Holcomb was playing drums, so Heather stepped up front and sang with us.It started off amazing with a really good practice. I love when the most intimate times with God come while we are suppose to be “practicing”. It is always the time when God shows us what he wants for us in the evening and just allows us to worship him and with no one else there, there is always just an ease because you aren’t even leading worship, your just worshipping. When we have a practice like that I always assume that either the evening is going to be amazing, or it’s going to suck. No in between. But it was awesome.There was so much time where we were just worshipping and letting God speak and we weren’t singing or really having anything happen but time alone with God. God spoke a few really awesome words through people. Brian Carswell, Ryan Borowko, Luke Tuitt, and myself. The one that really hit me was Ryan’s.It was “simple” but so powerful, God was speaking so directly and strong. I’m so glad he shared it. We had just sang The Stand by Hillsong United and there is a line in the song that says ” And all I am is yours” Ryan came up and the thing that hit me the most out of what he said was God said to him “Ryan, all you are is mine”. It’s no different if your tecticle other than he is made it about him taking us and not about us giving ourselves to him. I like that. When God says he is taking you because you’ve opened yourself up to him.I love when God does something different. Quiet time with God is not normal at converge, it is usually all about the alter calls and the words and the worship and last night it was just about being quiet with him and letting him speak. Man I love when God changes things and yet he stays the same. Faithful and loving.Anyways that is what happened for me last night, if your reading it and things were different for you I’d love to hear how they are different… Later
