worship

worship

what does this word mean to you? to me, it means praise, song, a life, sacrifice, offering, lifting up the Lord’s name…bringing HIM glory, taking the focus off of yourself.

this week, I’ve had a refreshed view of worship & what it means. it is not only the amazing praise band at kairos, the 1,000 something young people lifting up their voice in song, the jr and sr high at brentwood baptist singing along with their amazing praise band tonight…it is a lifestyle reflective of a response to the love of a faithful Father. it is a daily offering & constant turning our gaze to HIM to give HIM glory and make HIS name known---whether that is at our job, school, friendships, relationships, etc. it encompasses our life.

this week at kairos was the worship night and we also started a series called “plan B” which was awesome and so applicable in this stage of life…how the Lord can use those “plan B’s” as ways to turn our trust to Him…and it is how we respond to those “plan B’s” that our faith is tested. and by “plan B’s” I mean how we have this vision of expectations of how we want our lives to go, but we are diverted to plan B’s- things we didn’t really want. how do we respond to that? how should we respond to that as Christians? by faith.

tonight was sort of eye opening too in a humorous way. my friend rachel and I are interested in leading a small group at our church. we went tonight to just observe and see how wednesday nights work. we got there & felt sort of out of place, but also grateful to not be in that stage of life anymore….but also thankful that the Lord used so many experiences in those days of high school and junior high to shape us into the women we are now. it was funny to sit in on a small group and feel and remember that age and what I was so focused on then and what my prayer requests were then and how the Lord has truly worked in my life since those days. I am thankful for a faithful God who is pursuant of me even in my faults & rebellion.

please google or look up the book “plan B” by pete wilson. he is the guy that spoke at kairos tuesday night…amazing speaker with so many words of wisdom and insights from our Heavenly Father.

happy thursday! Looking forward to:
