Let's Worship

Worship

Lately I have been struggling with my purpose in life once again. What does God want me to do for Him? I decided (after talking to my dear sister Lavonne) to re-read "The Purpose Driven Life." Over the last week, the word "worship" has been in my vocabulary many times. I have been asking God "how do You want me to worship you?" In the book PDL, Rick Warren talks about how we are to worship God. Worship is more than singing and praising God "anything you do that brings pleasure to God is worship" - wow, you mean every area of my life entails worship to God? Yes! In my daily life when I rise, I meet the Lord and talk to Him; that is a form of worship. "Anything I do that brings pleasure to God is an act of worship." In Psalms it says "I will bless the Lord at all times, His praise shall continually be in my mouth!" When I worship Him, my turmoil and sadness turns to praise.
According to Warren, even work becomes worship when you dedicate it to God and perform it with an awareness of His presence!

So, have I figured out my purpose? Not yet, but as I "worship Him" in my search - I know He will show me! - I need to recognize that all areas of my life is to worship Him. He is my Saviour, Lord of Lords, King of Kings, Adonai, Yaweh, Blessed Redeemer
and soon coming King! Hallelujah!

Blessings to you!

Six Months!

So it has been six months since Robin went to Heaven. Wow, six months; that is nothing in God's timing - My life is like a fading flower in His eyes - here today and gone tomorrow! I love looking at life from God's perspective. Now, of course, I don't understand it all because I am not God. One thing I do know, is that I have never been closer to the Lord than I am at this point in my life. He is still working on me, and I have many more storms to experience before I am with Him someday. I just hope I can remain strong in Him and stay focused!! I am so easily distracted by the trials around me that I sometimes have difficulty seeing Him work.
I am excited to share this weekend to a wonderful group of women what I learned from Robin about the Lord during her life! Robin was such a strong Christian woman. I never realized it until I watched her suffer for so long - As much as it hurts to say that and look back on that; I know that her rewards must be great as she is in Heaven dancing all over the place!!
I pray your day is filled with God's blessings and promises!
Don't forget to hug your daughter!

Blessings!
