First Blog

Argh! I don't like journaling, so why am I here? Who wants to read my babbling? Well, I guess I could blog about the things that I am passionate about, huh? Well, first...that would have to be something about music. Its the one thing that envelopes my life and takes up my thoughts. Its probably the most constant activity that keeps me close to God. No. It doesn't replace corporate worship nor community, but is something that I can think about during the times in between.

Well, lately I've been binging on Chris Tomlin. I have always enjoyed his music. I guess at church, we've just been singing lots of him in worship. I've been playing his cds constantly, hitting replay continuously and have even started my first song on guitar.

The lyrics are so simple, but if you think about it, worship is simple too. I don't know why I've just now had this epiphany, but I'm just so intrigued with God's love for me. If you're reading this, take some time to ponder this:

Chris Tomlin-Made to Worship

You and I were made to worship
You and I are called to love
You and I are forgiven and free
When you and I embrace surrender
When you and I choose to believe
Then you and I will see who we were meant to be

I'm still stuck on the "called to love" thing. Overwhelmed with His love and wanting to share it. Hmm, maybe the Holy Spirit is calling me to practice this?
