Things Happening...

First of all, we found our camera. Sweet!

Church yesterday was AWESOME for me. As we spent time in worship it was evident that God was there. One of the last songs that we sang was "Blessed Be The Name Of The Lord"; what a great song. My mind immediately went to Upward training sessions several years ago. Our worship leader at Upward, David Guthrie, sang this song at each session that year. In the midst of all of the behind the scenes chaos that made each session a success, I always paused to worship with David and the attendees. This song in particular revitalized and inspired me every weekend! The words really allow you to put the focus back on Christ and not your circumstances, your past or even your present. Its ALL ABOUT HIM!
Unfortunately through the circumstances of my life this last year, I have not been able to sing that song because the words did not ring true too me. Its tough walking through the valley... but as long as you keep walking you WILL come out. I finally walked out of the valley yesterday morning. That song brought back all of the emotion of the training sessions several years ago. It brings a sense of strength and confidence to my walk with Christ. It reminds me that He is our Rock no matter what the circumstance. I can not adequately describe how thankful I am to have moved from the valley into a new stage of life. We are so excited to be in Colorado and we sense the Lord doing something major in our lives. We have no idea what it is but I say with confidence - God brought us out here!
If you haven't heard the song or if you just need to refocus right now, click play and listen. Really listen to the words. They are words of exaltation, words of strength, words of praise. He loves us, so walk in strength and power today no matter what your circumstances! David, Robbie, Travis, Julie, and Jennifer - y'all rock! I had so much fun being out on the road with y'all. Keep pressing forward and keep praising Him!
