True worshipers

"Bless the Lord, O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name"

"You're rich in love, and You're slow to anger
Your name is great, and Your heart is kind
For all Your goodness I will keep on singing
Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find"

One of the joy of being an usher is to be able to see congregation worshiping God because you are standing right at the end. Can't help but to see haha I don't know how many times I feel encouraged standing right behind the sanctuary :) So today, our church was singing this song, 10000 reasons. This song talks about how blessing God is a choice we make, not by looking at our circumstances. If we choose to start with praise, we want to end with praise.

I saw this person whom I know is struggling with his marriage. Being in a relationship for almost 10 years, few months of marriage and now the wife insisted on a divorce. Both him and the family couldn't figure out what went wrong. Yet today I saw him singing,
"Bless the Lord O my soul, Worship His holy name"
"For all Your goodness I will keep on singing,
Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find"

It's not easy. I'm not sure how much he is struggling right now and how much pain he has to go through.. but this really moved my heart. And I'm sure it moved God's heart too. I mean, what goodness can he find about God in all these??? Yet he choose to trust not in his circumstances but the nature of who God is.
God. Is. Good.
It was a very beautiful worship.

Thank you. I pray I'll be like you, to be a true worshiper.. to worship God even when I'm struggling..even when I don't understand. To trust Him for who He is.

Hello Transition!

"Each transition will involve some kind of loss. Growth will always be costly; a new venture will always involve some form of letting go. It may be a matter of separation - from parents or from those who are part of an old way or an old world. It may involve leaving behind the comfortable and the secure. Each transition will be a small death, and the new life, the new opportunity and the new challenges will only come as we let go."

The blog is going through transition..just like the owner. haha
