I don't know if anyone else felt it, but tonight was awesome. Usually when i'm on the data projector i don't get into worship because i'm busy making sure people have words to sing to, but tonight i arrived from work early and went through the songs with the worship team. So when the time came to worship i just seemed to get right into it. Just sang, not to anyone but God. I know worship is not for me, it's for God, but tonight i realised, when you give to God you get back (in a different way than i had in mind, i always thought this was just to do with money). And i got back, i felt so revitalised, i felt the spirit moving in the church. I really loved the service tonight, other than the strain on technology (always dangerous when it comes to relying on computers). The sermon was really heartseeking. We all got a text at the end saying this:
God B W me n evry pass. Gsus B W me on evry hill. Spirit B W me n evry stream. ea step of D jRne I go
I felt so at home in the church this evening. I must say, At AA and Summer's house afterwards, for supper, i was a bit quiet. Why? Because i was constantly being reminded of the people around me, and how important they were to me, i was continuosly thinking of the importance and the influence to my development, my character, my life, those people were. How i would be nothing without them, how with God living in them, I live for them. I think what Randall has constantly reminded me...i think far too much, needs to be applied here too. I am thinking too much. But tonight i really felt God and it was so easy to just sing and worship him in the company of those who matter to me. So as i listen to Till Kingdom Come by Coldplay I...whoops tell a lie, the song has changed.. Miracle Drug by U2. As i listen to U2, i think of how i want to get inside the minds of those who i do care about and want to help out. How i want to open up to those people and let them inside my head. I'm going to stop thinking now.

Yeah it was an awesum (said with an american accent) night aye.
Even though I didn't get to go round the stations, I know what you mean about being blessed when you give to God. It's a great feeling, experience.
It excites & encourages me to see people (you) getting into that space & connecting with God. As a worship leader/muso, it makes it all worthwhile.
It's great you think deeply about things. God's made you that way. You don't need to change.
PS - I love our church whanau too.
Hey Rayd, Just be who God made you k :) I'm glad you had a good worship time and thats what being a christian is about, connecting with God and having a relationship with him :) *HUGS*
your worship is more to God than it is to yourself. The feelings of emotion and longing which we sometimes associate with worship are more of a consequence of our longing after God. you did good last night, seemingly unfased by the last minute tech demands (which I must apologize for), but through your service, sometimes i think God is just as appreciative, and can sense your own appreciation, that if you were singing or dancing or any other form of worship...
You dun good and I'm sure God is just as proud as we are of you, (if not more...)
God Bless
