"Sing to the Lord a new song. Sing to the Lord a song!"

Remember last week how I was lamenting my little situation and how I shared that its been frustrating to not really be able to worship like I normally do? Well I was totally blessed this week at youth group when a few of the guys who are in high school lead our group in true authentic worship. I sang my heart out with my half working mouth and irritated ear...the Holy Spirit was so thick in our Sanctuary and it. was. amazing.

I was reminded that God doesn't care how good you sound, or even how loud you can sing. It's totally and completely 100% about your heart. 

Thanks guys, for leading my heart in worship this past weekend. What a blessing it was!

A New Era

This morning was the first Sunday back at church where my sister's praise team was back up after my sister moved up north. My BFF Pap is also on the team and in J's absence, she has stepped up to lead the team.

Speaking in public is not Pap's favorite thing to do, nor does it come naturally to her. This poses something of a problem when you're leading praise because you're always speaking in front of the congregation and leading everyone in worship. This morning I thought of Pap as I was driving to church because of her concern about just this. When it came time for praise, however, Pap hit it out of the ballpark! With the spirit of Christ surrounding her, she preached to the masses and she really did an amazing job ushering us all into the presence of our God. 

Excuse the poor quality, but here's a quick iPhone shot of Pap (first mike on the left) leading with her team this morning. She spoke today about the freedom we have in Christ and about how if you've asked Jesus into your heart, then you are free from the chains of sin because they've been broken by our God for us! I couldn't have said it better myself :)

Pap, I am encouraged by how you have stepped out in faith in leading this team and our church in worship. You have demonstrated to me that "where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom!"

Can't wait 'til next Sunday,
