Mexico

Life is to short to care what other people think. David says "I will become even more undignified than this!" all for the glory of God. I admire that. Being a worship leader has blessed me in more ways than one. I have the blessing of standing in front of people and proclaiming Gods name but i also get to use the gifts God gave me for him. To be honest i think that i have not only let God down but have let myself down also. In Mexico they worship like David. They dance and jump around and swirl towels over their heads and start conga lines, they worship without pretending, they worship like no one is watching. I was blown away by that small church in Durango Mexico. Being able to watch them inspired me to become more like them. I don't want to care how i look up on stage or care what i sound like. If the note is to high to hit who cares. If the guitar is not tuned who cares, if the bass isn't playing the same song as everyone else who cares. Its not about how it looks or sounds on stage. Its only about the heart of the people worshiping out father. Last week i saw worship as it should be. I saw a church as it should be. I saw the love of Christ come to life in those people. We were their four short days with those people helping to build a roof that would last for many rain storms and stay standing through anything. But those people were determined to serve us and make us feel more at home than we could have imagined. For maybe the first time in my life i felt like God was standing in front of me smiling and holding out his hand for me to grab hold of. I was swimming in Gods presence. It rained Gods glorious love. God worked through those people for me to see and learn from. I will never forget their faces when they saw us and greeted us for the first time and the instant love that came over them that pored out onto us. God is Good and almighty. He is the ultimate healer, lover and father the glorious name the Great I am the only one that i can cling to for hope, the never ending grace that helps me carry on. God is my father and i will not be shy about my love and passion to serve him each and every day of my life praising his name for the blessings of each day.

Pray for me to stay firm in every situation only relying on God to help me through. I know i will be tempted by the devil please pray that i wont fall down. God is bigger and stronger than anything the Devil will dish out. I cling to that faith.
