Good start

I'd say this new years resolution is off to a good start. Though I've only been at it for two days, I can tell it's going to be awesome. I find things to be thankful for even in the first 8 chapters of Genesis. You know that weird feeling you get when you know God's in control of something? Like something bigger and greater and you don't know what yet? Yeah, I'm getting that a lot. It's that weird feeling you get when your heart feels all swollen and like there's something moving in the middle. It's so bizarre. 

But there is something that's been on my heart that I just have to share with yall. My friend at my old school go to this thing called House Church where it's like student-led church at someone's house on Saturday nights. Apparently it's really cool and awesome worship and stuff. Well I want to do that (well... kinda, I'll explain in a second) but over here where I live. I want to do a House Church but maybe where it's just worship for an hour but it's free and open worship and on Wednesday nights during the summer. That way we could have it outside sometimes (Maria). :) 

Because I need some good worship. The chapel at my new school sucks and at my church, we don't really raise our hands a whole lot. I always got my good worship at my old school on Fridays in worship chapel. Man, that was amazing. I need to bring that to those at my church who have never experienced God like that before. Such encounters with the Spirit. At times I could have sworn I felt His arms around me, heard His voice in my ear, saw His face. God's voice is the sweetest voice in the universe. The same mouth that breathed out the stars, has whispered in my ear. Magic. I need that again. Everyone needs pure, awestruck worship. 

So that is what it driving me to start this. We need this. Worship is a necessity. Pray for me and my friend Payton as we do this. It will happen, and God will bless it. 

With real love for Him.

Yours truly,
SD

  1. "The same mouth that breathed out the stars, has whispered in my ear." <---I love that.
    Magic is the most perfect way to describe it. Though, of course, worship is more than "a feeling," I love that feeling of being loved I get. That feeling of being completely accepted by Jesus. It's beautiful to think about.
    Oh I am craving worshipping God outside under a star-filled sky. I wouldn't be surprised if I like dreamed about it tonight, haha.
    Well I love you, and I'm glad you're so far sticking to your resolutions. :)
