Repeat Play

In this season of my life God has made my cup overflow. As this might be the craziest month in my life thus far, I can't help but count my blessings. I would name them one by one but that would be super long list and you would get board or have hurt feelings because I forgot about you. So Im going to cover it all with saying this. PRAISE GOD FOR EVERYONE IN MY LIFE. There. Yes, you were included in that. But I wanted to share a little bit of my life here in Omaha.

In August of 2008, when I drove out of the driveway from the house that I grew up in and left every comfort that I knew I never would have thought that I would fall in love with Christ like I feel I have. I feel that my new church home is a big instrument in that new level of love. Now I don't give them all the credit, just a little. But Christ and Christ alone gets all the credit. However, the worship service at Westside church is different than at Calvary for me. I think mainly because I don't know really anyone around me. Most Sunday's I get to sit alone and be alone with Christ. I don't have to worry about who is there and who isn't. I think that God has also brought me out of my shell when it comes to outwardly praising Him. I feel more free to raise my hands, dance a little, or even cry to the point of where I cant breathe. Please know that Im not saying I couldn't do these things at Calvary but I myself was worried about what "others" would think. How they would handle it.

Recently at church we were introduced to a new song. After being introduced to it I feel in love with the meaning of the song. It is titled Desert Song by Hillsong and has played 109 times in the last week. The main point that it drives home is, "all of my life, in every season, You are still God. I have a reason to sing. I have a worship."

Think about that for a minute will you? In every season... God is really teaching me about seasons and how to love the season you are in and look for the reason why you have been brought there. Know that He wants to teach you something during that time. A challenge that I have been presented with was look for that reason. Once you find it, listen to God in it and when God tells you to move on. Do so.

In the last 20 months I have repeated in my head leaving Tennessee and driving to Omaha. Not knowing what laid ahead of me. Not aware of the love that I would find. No this time Im not talking about my friends, Im talking about the Love of Jesus that I found. Like the song lyrics say, there is a faith found more pure than gold. I hope that God is your victory and that through those Seasons you hold your head high and sing those lyrics, " all of my life, in every season, You are still God. I have a reason to sing. I have a worship."

Be Blessed!
