"The Gift of Worship"



so life has been bz...

summer job has got me on the clock w/ crazy hrs.... next semester already stressing me out... youth retreats to plan.... fellowships to attend....  now that summers coming to an end, preparing for the fall =)

even though i have been lacking sleep.... i enjoy having a schedule!

it helps me to manage not only time but to keep in check my perspective of life, feel me?

the job i work...
the school i attend...
the church i serve...
the city i live in...
the family im in!

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" 2 Corinthians 5:17

"...be transformed by the renewing of your mind." Romans 12:2b

i pray that daily, that God would give me that Christlike mindset.... 
to see people as souls, my job as a mission field, to live w/ purpose....... and not fancy the things of the world, but the things of God.

to love the creator, not just the creation.

lately God has been keeping me in check through His people... whether it's my Hunter IV chapter or my EMC fam.... you realize this life with Christ is a win win deal~ 

from people to places and lifestyle and hobbies... God is not only all around it, but all up inside it... it's an amazing thing really~

when God becomes the center of our worship and lives.... it stops being just... recreation or routine......... but it becomes worship.

my job becomes worship...
my school becomes worship....
my service in church is worship....
"worship is lifestyle" as they say ~

so many things coming up and things happening.... "God keep me going, be my motivation and passion always, that i may never lose sight of this race marked out for us.... u got me, and that's all that matters, werd"

"Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship." Romans 12:1

Reminds me of an article that I read recently. The author said, "As I look around the room and catch the eyes of my friends, my brothers…the time suspends just enough for Truth to invade my soul…

Our God need no lesser cathedral.
Our homes.
Our families.
Our friends.
Our neighbors.
Our lives.

This is a world where holy ground looks like hard wood floors; where the sun rises, and sets; where we eat three meals a day; we work hard; we play hard; we laugh and we suffer. We are reminded in every moment of our lives that we have been given to each other by God, in Jesus the Son and through the power of the Holy Spirit."

it's a pretty awesome thing when you think about it..
