Just a short one this time to say we played in CFC last night. For me, it was one of those nights where I couldn't really tell if it was going well or not. There were definitely moments in the set where I was incredibly moved - do you ever feel like you are worshipping but it's beyond your control? In the song 'Rescuer' there is a line that says "Hearts that know mercy cannot stay silent" and I was soo overwhelmed last night at my desire to worship with everything I am in response to this awesome mercy that I am so unworthy to receive.
Priscilla Reid was the speaker at last night's service. She was talking about staying on track (refering to John ch 16). I felt challenged by this sermon particularly when she was discussing our expectations of God and how to pray in His Name (I realised I do it in my name quite alot!). I was reminded last night that everything I do in worship/life is for His glory. Everything I ask of Him is not not about getting my requests but about His glory. I get frustrated with God alot especially if I feel He has spoken things over my life and yet I don't see them happening so I get cross that He hasn't come through for me. How stupid am I?! He came through for me a long time ago! How do I lose sight of the cross so easily?!!!!!!!

Hi Claire, it was an interesting evening...a bit strange overall. I think we played ok but lacked the urgency we're used to. Keep blogging, your perspective is needed!
Hi Trace,
Thanks for your comment. It was great to see you worshipping in the midst of what you're feeling. I am glad you were challenged and helped by Sunday night's worship and talk. He really doesn't give up on us and we need each other to remind us of that fact. We are the example of that on earth so stand with each other.
