i am an offering

Yesterday was week #2 of guest teachers at Living Word.  We were blessed to have a message from a guy that I actually counseled at camp once who’s now helping with the youth at our church.  He’s grown a lot and it’s been really amazing to see.  He shared from Hebrews 10, continuing where I left off last week. There are five great encouragements in Hebrews 10 that I’d definitely encourage you to check out.  We sang:

• Soon and Very Soon (traditional hymn)
• Beautiful One (Tim Hughes)
• Before the Throne of God Above (hymn reworked by Vikki Cook)
• Victory in Jesus (hymn)
• These songs are part of the Sunday Setlists post from Fred McKinnon.

Yesterday was also a complete sabbath from any computer time from me and boy, I didn’t know how much I needed that!  Lately, God has been opening my eyes to some ways I need to remanage my time and it’s already beginning to pay big dividends.  More on that to come.  Enjoy your week!

The holiday weekend is over and I’m back to blogging!  I would have blogged Sunday, but I actually listened to the sermon that day so I decided not to (more in that in a bit)!

Songs we did:

• God of Wonders (Byrd / Hindalong)
• Hosanna (Baloche / Brown)
• O Worship the King
• Cleanse Me

I was so thankful for a supportive pastor on Sunday who took me aside before the service and prayed for me.  We had been going through a slightly difficult situation over the weekend and I was so thankful he showed his support by praying that I would be able to lead worship well.  I was also so blessed by watching a woman who has been battling cancer raising her hands in worship.  I almost had to stop singing.

Pastor Wade gave a great message on the 3rd commandment (remembering the Sabbath (meaning - stop) day and keeping it holy).  It was a good reminder and caused our family to just stop and rest that day and man was it ever a restful day!

A great day at Living Word.
