The Heart of Worship!!

Yesterday I had a conversation with a woman of great substance, and God used her to lift my spirit, to encourage my heart and to bring clarity to a vision given to me many years ago by God!  She spoke about Purpose…. “Why are you here?” and “What is your purpose?” I heard her say. “Focus on your assignment, and be who God created you to be!”

A Worship Leader is defined as one who believes that God is the Audience of our worship. One who takes the lead and leads others in worshiping The King of Kings and The Lord of Lord!  He is worthy of our praise and of our adoration. What an honor it is to worship Him!

My passion is to Worship Him! My passion is to Praise Him! My passion is to Please Him! My passion is Him!

A Blog posted by Bob Kauflin in 2006 said; “Ultimately, our worship leader is Jesus. He is the only mediator between God and man, and the perfect man who sings God’s praise in our midst. (1 Tim. 2:5; Heb. 2:12) He is our high priest who has offered the perfect sacrifice of Himself to insure our entrance into the holy places. (Heb. 10:19-22)” Thank you Jesus!

Last year, 2009, with the release of my debut CD(Near the Cross), God took my ministry to a new level! I was blessed to be able to travel around the world, minister in song and share my testimony. It was truly Amazing! In London, I experienced God in a incredible way (words can not express).

This year started strong, but God spoke, and said; “Peace, Be Still” and called me to a Fast!!!! He began revealing areas in my life that needed tending to:-) It hurts now just thinking about it! Ouch! All to You Lord, I surrender! I am so grateful that our Heavenly Father loves us too much to leave us the same. I thought I was doing pretty good, but God needed more! He required me to go Deeper!

Currently, I am finishing up my second book, and about to begin production on my new CD! I am excited about what God is doing in this day and in this hour!

For ten years now, I have been blessed to be a member of Church on The Rock (St. Peters, Missouri), where I serve in the choir. It is an incredible church! Our Pastors David and Kim Blunt boldly declare the word of God each week and challenge us to go after God like never before! I am thankful for the teaching I receive there!

A Pearl Of Great Price (Know your Worth)!

Be encouraged as you go throughout your day, knowing that The King of Kings and The Lord of Lords is still on The Throne!!! And He is Faithful!

His Word tells us to; cast our cares on Him and that He will sustain us (Psalms 55:22). That means the pressure is not on us but on Him / Our Burden Bearer(Thank You Jesus).

Sometimes in life there are things that we just don’t understand, but we can take confidence in knowing that His love never fails, Never! We can trust Him!

As you are preparing for the next stop in your journey, remember to Keep Your Eyes On Him!!! He has “Big Plans” in store For Us! Jeremiah 29:11 tells us so.

You are A Great Mom, an Incredible Wife, and a Beautiful Woman… Yes You!!! We all need to be reminded of that, I know I do!!!

When the enemy tries to distort our vision of ourselves we must look to Jesus for clarity!!! He said that you and I were fearfully and wonderfully made… He said that we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus!!! He said that we are pearls of great price…. That’s right!!! We are who He says We Are!!!!

They That Wait….

“Yet those who wait for the LORD Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.” Isaiah 40:31.  I am mounting up with wings and soaring like Eagles…

What Will Your Tomorrow Bring?

Charlie “Tremendous” Jones said; the difference between who you are today and who you will be in five years will be the people you spend time with and the books you read. What a powerful truth!

A little more than five years ago, my oldest son John expressed an interest in playing the drums! I thought; “Drums??? Where did that come from? but OK!!!”His father and I purchased him a professional drum set, and soon after John went to work increasing his skill level.

He joined our church youth band, his school band, took drum lessons, hung around drummers and became a sponge. He was passionate about learning and we could see that God’s hand was clearly upon him! John was only 11 at the time. He began to pick up other instruments as well. His father, sister, brothers and I stood in amazement at how quickly he learned. I love to hear him play the Acoustic Guitar and sing… truly music to my ears:-)

Tonight I received some “Great News” from John!!! He was asked to lead Worship @ His Church!!!! John is now an adult, serving in the United States Air Force and making his mark!!! Wow…. It was a little over 5 years, 8 to be exact, when John first expressed an interest in music. He grabbed hold of books,  videos and people with the skill he wanted to acquire…

I am inspired by his Tenacity and his Drive…. My advice for him: “Keep Growing, Keep Reaching, and Keep Believing in the Dream!!!”

God has great things in store for that young man! Can’t wait to see what the next five years will bring! All The Praise And All of The Glory Goes To My Heavenly Father!

“Lord, you are simply amazing, and I am so grateful for my children and for your hand being upon their lives; leading them and guiding them, “Your Kingdom Come/ Your Will Be Done!”

He Is Mine Forever!!!

“Nevertheless, I am continually with you; you hold my right hand.

You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will receive me to glory.

Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.

My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

For behold, those who are far from you shall perish; you put an end to everyone who is unfaithful to you.

But for me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may tell of all your works. (Psalm 73: 23-28)”
