Dear Worshiper, Read Me!

I am three chapters into a new book (Thank you Sandi!) and I am in love. I am in LOVE with Jesus. I am in LOVE with God and I am in LOVE with where and who God is calling me to be.

     As many know, I am a worshiper. The easiest, simplest, quickest, truest definition of me is: WORSHIPER. I sing every chance I get, cry in my worship fall to my knees, fall back and let God hold me, dance, and oh do I laugh and enjoy EVERY moment and chance of worship. I subconsciously sing praise all the time and occasionally it just bellows out of me. I start singing praise out loud before I even realize what I am doing. I dream about my praise and worship in heaven. I dream that I am a skilled, light, and graceful dancer like a ballerina (though I bring in my full of attitude hip hop too) and I wear a beautiful flowing gown that further enhances my dance for my king and my love.

     Sometimes (and I need to pay closer attention to this more often) my worship, the singing I do before I realize I am singing praise, is God’s communication back to me. I know this because I know him. He loves to love me like I love him, to be himself as he has created me in his image. He made me a passionate devoted communicator through worship with him, and he returns the same communication. So when I start to notice that I am singing the same praise and worship song/sentence over and over often in those moments where I don’t realize I’m even doing it…it dawns on me that God is speaking to me. Then I pay attention.

      Ok background: This week my doctor has told me to not work due to stress and migraines at work and my mom has asked me to allow her to move in with me. Now I love my mom, a lot, but we are very different people and we do not get along for extended periods of time together….we stress each other out. You might get what that weighing decision is doing to me at the moment…..      The enemy is also filling my mind with all the provisional needs and financial insecurities that face me as I make these giant leaps trusting God in the near future and how, in the natural, it all looks like certain suicide. :(

     But then, back to my worship sentences this week…..It has been several days of me doing this, but I just realized I have been walking around my house, and visiting at my grandparents singing from a song I have not heard in MONTHS:

“I’m alright

Trouble may find me

But it is not gonna hold me down

Cause, I’ll hold on tight

To the father who loves me

He likes having me around

Ya he loves me

And he cares for me

And so I’ll be…

Alright mmm mmmm

Yea, you know I’m gonna be alright”

Wow! If I would just listen to him when he tries to sing to me! ;)

If you are a worshiper and sing through your day, I encourage you to pay attention to the song you sing that seems to come to you out of “nowhere”…you know the one you wonder why you started singing because you haven’t heard it in ages….it might be God using the same communication style you use to tell you, your heart, and your spirit what it need to know.  ;)
