Heart of Worship ministered to me. I had been hurt during my time serving in the Youth Ministry when I was a Roman Catholic. It had left a gaping wound and affected my ability to serve. One day, when I heard Heart of Worship again - the chorus just popped out at me. I'd sung it before many times before, but this time I felt Jesus telling me - It's all about me Geri. Not about them. Leave that baggage behind and worship with a joyful heart again. I can't wait to start serving in Funeral Support, I signed up for Music Ministry too, but I feel somehow that He wants me to serve in the area of Funeral Support for now. So I shall do so in obedience. =) Everything is beautiful in His Time and His blessings bring no Sorrows with them. Amen. I'm coming back to the Heart of Worship, it's all about You... it's all about You, Jesus. I'm sorry LORD for the thing I've made it, when it's all about You... all about You, Jesus.

Beautiful Seed

My friend asked me on MSN - u tink god will be disappointed in me for not being able to do anything? His sister seems to still lean toward abortion. My answer - Nope. You have done what you could. Now let Him do what He can. He can bless the broken road your sister walks on. He can love the baby whether she chooses to abort, give the child away or keep the child by her side. No matter what the decision the girl makes, one thing is for sure. The same grace we have is also available for her if she would receive it. Excerpt from an email i sent to a friend... I feel what I said in it sums up my feelings about the situation - I believe in speaking up for a life that has not the ability to speak for itself and for the truth that I believe to be so. At the end of the day, everyone is entitled to their own view about what abortion terminates and whether it is okay - but for me, as a mother and also as a Christian, I see it as a life - that within that foetus is a potential to love and be love...

God Bless the Broken Road

I love this song so much.When I first heard this song it was on American Idol - Carried Underwood performed it with Rascal Flatts (the orig country singer). I look back at my life and the "broken road" I walked till He led me to Ian. I look at the faces around me that are tear stained and hearts that have been broken and walked upon before... and I long to tell them God WILL bless the broken road and lead you to greater blessings . I wanted to use this song for my wedding but I could not find a version I like. =) Didn't know Selah released such a beautifully sung and arranged version. Ooh well. =D

Part The Waters... I Need Thee...

Part The Waters/ I Need Thee - Selah When I think I'm going under, part the waters, Lord When I feel the waves around me, calm the sea When I cry for help, oh, hear me Lord and hold out Your hand Touch my life Still the raging storm in me I need Thee every hour, most gracious Lord No tender voice like Thine can peace afford I need Thee, O I need Thee Every hour I need Thee O bless me now, my Savior I come to Thee I need Thee every hour, in joy or pain Come quickly and abide, or life is vain I need Thee, O I need Thee Every hour I need Thee O bless me now, my Savior I come to Thee When I think I'm going under... ============= The full lyrics for "Part The Waters" is so moving... Thanks Joo so much for sending them to me. It was the first time I ever saw it. I surfed for the song and found the above version by Selah - a combi of two hymns that are so beautiful and moving. I found so much solace in the words so I decided altho' the above rendition used only one verse...

Journey

When I first heard this song, it moved me incredibly because I felt it sang about the journey I took wandering in the desert and wilderness before I found my way back to Daddy. I am glad I am home and I am close to Him... I don't ever want to wander away again.

5 Loaves & 2 Fishes// Everything in its Time - by Corrinne May

I want to thank Jesus for taking the little I have and multiplying it beyond my imagination. What I have today, they would've never been possible but for you LORD. I had nothing, but You gave me everything. Thank you Jesus. It doesn't matter what people say about my belief. I see grace written all over my life. Grace I cannot and will not deny because without it, who am I? My walk with Christ has been deeply personal and He has caught me so many times in His arms. I no longer see my lack... I just see Jesus. =) ================================== All those years sitting in a corner for my room, talking to You... I used to be so broken LORD. It took time for you to heal me, mould me, build me, fill me - but You did so, patiently. And everything has worked out in Your Time...

Worship Leaders of The Bible, King David

Found this article online... a very good read and source of contemplation I’ve decided David wouldn’t have made it as a worship leader in today’s church. Not that his songs wouldn’t hold up. Oh, they’d hold up, alright! But there’s just not enough grace. King David was one messed up dude, y’all. Lies, murder, adultery, and that’s just the beginning of it. With all of the systems of accountability we have in place these days, I can say with a good deal of confidence that David would be banished from most churches’ stage for life- and rightfully so, maybe. After all, serving in a position like lead worshipper means you are now called to a higher standard. But, somehow, David persevered. He messed up; there’s no questioning that, but he also rose from it. The question, then, is how is that even possible and can a resurrection like that happen in my life and my career as well? It can, but you can’t do it. Harsh? I know. Don’t worry- I can’t either. Chris Tomlin can’t. John Wesley: he coul...

Come To Him

Too many walls Too many broken dreams I have built around me Trapped within loneliness Blinded by pride I didn't see You sit next to me Too many nights Wondering why It had to be this way Deaf to Your voice Cold to Your touch Didn't hear what You said You said Come to Me I know you're weary All those burdens I will carry Come to Me And rest Under the shelter of My wings Come to Me Remember your first love Come to Me I'll wipe away your tears Come to Me My child You are precious In My eyes Chase away doubts Lift away the gloom Hold me tight my Daddy I can lean upon You Cast it all on You Come boldly to Your grace You are my peace You are my calm When storms rage around me I was lost now I'm found No longer bound Now I'll always look Your way And I'll say I've come to You I know You will carry I've come to You I'm no longer weary You've filled my heart with joy I'll fly upon Your wings I've come to You Remembered Your first love I...
