iWORSHIP

So it has been two weeks since training camp, and one of the many things that stand out to me is worship. Before training camp worship was something I did, I liked it, I looked forward to it in church and I even would sing along with K-love on the radio. Sometimes id raise my hands and id dance around, I was more worried about what was going on around me though, who was walking in 30 minutes late and who I would see.

                For the first half of training camp we were blessed by an amazing artist Jonathan David Helser, his wife Melissa, band mates and college age students following them growing deeper in their walk with Christ for the summer. Let me remind you I come from a church where we have a huge worship band and an even bigger congregation but worship was your typical follow along with the words. Never have I experienced worship in this way.

A NEW LOOK

We are dancing and rejoicing over a God that rejoices over us, a God who is in Heaven dancing over us. He isn’t a God who wants us to be silent neither is he a God who is worth being silent over. He wants us to rejoices, cry out to him, and sing praises at the top of our lungs to him. He is rejoicing over us with His angels they are celebrating in Heaven singing loud and I don’t want to wait till Heaven to take part in that, I want it now!

                Let us rejoice in how mighty andpowerful He is, in His fullness, forgiveness, and love for us. Let us rejoice because He took our sins to the cross and died for us. He wipes us clean everyday protects us, and deserves more than we give Him!

                I spent nights with my squadmates worshiping for hours and hours dancing, praying and singing till we had no voice. We cried out to the Lord for him to reign down on us,fill us over our heads with His love and mercy and he gave it to us, it started to pour and we worshiped in the rain. He showed us he listens to our cries, He will answer them, and Hislove is an endless ocean we are covered over our heads with it, He is over flowing us with it. We had rushing waters pouring down on us and we cried out to our God and got on our knees, raised our hands, danced around, and let tears of joy run down our faces. I used to not like rain and fear thunder, now it is completely beautiful. Our God is beautiful!
