After work It felt strange not to be heading to a meeting, to worship, to learn. So we went to small group. Had a wonderful time of fellowship, worship and prayer (in that order), really nice to share a little bit about Momentum with some people drowning in the Lord and then worship together. Lovely.
(We sang the song 'healer'. Controversial but excellent)
A thought came to my mind of something Amy Orr-Ewing said in a seminar about thoughts in Worship. She asked 'what do you think about when you worship?'
I thought this a stupid question ... 'We focus on the Lord, we strain for more of him, we want to hear his voice'
I think I might have been wrong.
At momentum I had started thinking about lots of different things, in particular I had imagined some of my non-chrisso friends worshipping with me, wow what a sight! Joy!
At small group I realised this, and let my thoughts go wherever they could.
I wrote down this in my phone...
It is so easy to sit in Worship straining to concentrate on the Lord. Straining to make your mind blank and clear so he can speak to you. When in fact worship is creative and diverse. Worship is meant to be full of God given distractions; thoughts planted, visions seen, excitement grown. JOY. Bring on new worship.
And this is my excitement, the hope and wonder that I now can worship God more freely and he can speak to me more elaborately.
COME ON JESUS.

Hey, I saw your Facebook status and so I got a bit curious and thought I'd have a read of your blog - hope you don't mind! :o)
Just wanted to say that I've really enjoyed reading through some of the entries - a few things have really spoken to me. A lot of what you say really resonates with me! I find myself agreeing with a lot that you've written...
