Worship

-
I love to adore and worship God. It's something I loved doing after my birth in Christ. I love to DELIGHT (I like this word so much...it's my fav) myself in the Lord and to worship Him all day long for everything He is and does. Oh, He is so perfect in everything He does. I've been asking Him sincerely why He gave me this love for worship, without giving me a great voice, because I'm not a brilliant singer, even though I'm not a bad singer either. But I would want to give the very best praises to Him, who loves me more than anyone could ever love me. I was struggling with myself and asking Him why my voice isn't so great as the voices of some of my favorite artists. He filled me with such a peace and acceptance and simply told me, He really loves how I worship and love Him. He doesn't look at the physical voice, He looks at the voice of the heart and enjoys my dedication and heart's voice. Those words were enough for me. Hm... do you know what these words meant and still mean to me? They give me power to praise and worship Him more than ever... higher and higher.
I heard a great definition of WORSHIP and I wanted to share it with all of you:


"Worship is the submission of all of our nature to God.
It is the quickening of conscience by His holiness,
Nourishment of mind by His truth,

Purifying of imagination by His beauty,
Opening of the heart to His love,
And submission of will to His purpose.
And all this gathered up in adoration is the greatest of human expressions of which we are capable." 

-Archbishop William Temple

Slow down a little bit

I know I haven't written for a long time on my blog. It's not something I have been prioritizing lately and I can't promise or say that I will, in the future. I wanted to come up here now and just write my thoughts down.  I haven't been feeling good for a few days, I got a cold and I had time to slow down and think. I've realized that I have been working a lot, I have been active doing lots of things and I have made new friends, which occupied a lot of my time. All of these are good and I love all, but they occupy my life, my thoughts, my feelings and my time. I have this way of mine, that I live in my head and I have lots of thoughts. I've learned that it's not wrong, but it isn't right to be occupied with other things first, rather than with what is the most important. The most important is God and it will always be as such. This will never change and it's something I want more than anything else in the whole universe. The only thing is that when I

Image by 0fjd125gk87 I'm so happy to have some time to sit down and write some things that have been on my mind lately. I've been very busy, and my life has been in a hurry, being in haste to do everything and fit everything into the week and then start a new week with the same hectic lifestyle, which was slowly robbing me of joy, concentration, energy, and hobbies or things I like to do for myself. I've been looking at my life and I was seeing how I enjoy my job and all the work I'm doing, but I'm in a constant giving and I don't invest in myself and the things I enjoy doing. I'm grateful that I've been able to travel and spend time with people I love, but the first thing that caught my attention, after having some time away from work and the frantic life, was not having enough time for what's the most important in my life: my connection and intimacy with God either. When I realized this, I started being more aware of where most of my time and energ

The List for a future spouse

I have read something very interesting a few weeks ago and it still is in my thoughts. I can't stop thinking about it and its results. Read the following story from a book I've recently read by Sally Clarkson entitled Dancing with My Father: One mysterious evening before we were married or even dating, I received a phone call from Clay. He asked if I was busy on the next Saturday, explaining that he wanted me to accompany him on a surprise adventure.
