fearfully and wonderfully made...

13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.

14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.

Psalms 139

Baby Aiyana comes into this world and into our lives. I don't know how people do not believe in God? Every perfect gift comes from above.

God's whisper

Even though I tell my self and others that God is in control, I struggle sometimes in accepting it and letting Him really be in control. As I follow His will I try to listen closely and struggle against going with what I think God is doing vs. what God really is doing.

This Sunday I led worship with a guitar and djembeh, of which I did not plan on. During the week God kept whispering in my ear, simple is o.k. just bring me your heart and you will lead my people. God allowed certain things to happen during the week, leaving me with no other option (He really wasn't whispering by then). During worship I was broken and shown God's amazing sovereignty and I felt assured of His promise of being in the midst of His people no matter what.

I don't always bring out the worshipometer but this Sunday I could not turn from acknowledging people's outward expression in worship which broke me even more. I felt God telling me, "You see what I can do?"

So I'm left with a challenge: How can I let God's whisper invade in the midst of frustration, desperation and personal expectations shouting at me?

Worship set 10.7.07:

Launch Day at Bridges 9/30 at 9:30

Bridges has launched. It's no longer something we are working on or waiting to see what will happen. Bridges is now a church. Now we are learning to transition from guiding a launch team to running a church.

God was definitely present past Sunday. There were so many new faces, faces of which we had been praying for and God brought through the door. Many of them which had never sang worship at a theater.

We waited for doors to open at 7a.m. to start set up. We were up and ready for sound check by 8:30a.m. Our team did a great job in setting a great environment for new people to feel comfortable and able to worship God. God is faithful and so good to us. I felt a great peace and confirmation of God's awesome presence and hand in all of this. Please keep us in your prayers!!!
