Talk About Worship...
I have to share about the coolest moment of worship that we shared as a family the other night... we were in Roscoe on our way home from Potter's Wheel when Cam suddenly turned the car around. I was kind of impatient with him (big shocker, I know), wondering what he was doing. Next thing I know, he had pulled into a cemetery next to a little church and stopped the car.
It was only then that I noticed the glorious sunset in the sky. Cam invited us to sit in silence and enjoy God's amazing gift of creation. Then we all sang "This is my Father's World" at the top of our lungs with Mars Hill's Worship CD (which, by the way, is the freshest, most Christ-centered worship music I've experienced in a LONG LONG time). We ended up getting out of the car, walking through the cemetery and talking about God and how grateful we were to be his children. I couldn't help but think about how I would have completely missed this entire memory if it weren't for Cam, who just has the gift of recognizing a moment and embracing it. Our family won't easily forget that sunset and the worship that transpired. May we all have eyes to see and the willingness to embrace God's amazing gifts to us.

moments like that are priceless.
thanks for the inspiration! There isn't alot we can do to change the pace of life around us, but we can change the pace of life within us. God has the pause button on, a window in time, just to enjoy him and his love for us - it's up to us however, to keep our hearts open and ready to see - human eyes can't see the things that are meant for our hearts to comprehend. One day our eyes will be open, but for now we must trust him to reveal things as we can handle them!
tiffany!

How cool is that!! What a GREAT experience!!! Thanks for sharing. I have a new appreciation for "This is my Father's World" - Aaron, from Mars Hill, lead us w/ this song @ the WCCC Arts Conference last week. It was one of the highlights of the conference! I am ALWAYS blown away by God's creation - and revel in the beauty of who He is, when I take the time to notice. Every sunrise and sunset - the changing of the seasons - majestic mountains, the crashing waves of the ocean, the vibrant "red" of a cardinal, the fragrance of a lilac - they are all miracles that He shares w/us. And all those things happen/exist whether we chose to acknowledge them, or not!
Aaron also taught us "Enchanted" -another GREAT song! Worship In Every Direction - live @ Mars Hill is a GREAT CD!!!
