Those times when you don’t know what to say.

The last week or so, has been a bit odd for. I’m RARELY short on words, but I’ve found myself not knowing what to say… to blog… in conversation… just speaking/verbalizing anything has been weird for the few rotations of the earth.

Maybe part of it was the break in routine being in Atlanta Mon & Tues. Maybe part of it is this sense that’s been growing in my gut that GOD’s up to something. Maybe it’s the realization that we get to be a part of it (that mysterious something). Maybe it’s being tired. I don’t know but it’s been weird.

Then yesterday (Sunday), it broke! We had these moments in worship yesterday where it very VERY clear GOD was moving. We didn’t do anything all that special or different from normal, but something happens when hearts are vulnerable. There was this moment mid way through the second worship set where we started a musical transition into a new key. As I looked at the rest of the band, I could see the joy, excitement, fear & trembling, and the brokenness from which everyone was leading. It was a beautiful picture! The volume swelled, the band put their backs into it, and my knees felt weak. Now, everyone knows that I find my most spiritual moments of worship in music. But, today was different. It wasn’t me finding it. It was as if I’d never seen other people like that before. It made my heart break & leap all at the same time! It was BEAUTIFUL.

And then the topic… JESUS. “Jesus RESETS Assumptions” to be specific. It was simple and fluid. Perfect for where we are as a people right now. People are looking for Jesus. They may not know it, but they are. It was just a GREAT DAY!

GOD – Thank you for what you’re doing. Don’t let us get in the way. Break me again today… tomorrow… continually. l don’t want to forget the awe.

    I know the feeling of having to write something on your blog, knowing that people are going to read it, and there is this pressure to say something meaningful, but sometimes God just wants us to shut up so we can hear him. I totally understand the experience that you had. I really enjoy reading your blog, it is very uplifting and inspiring to me. God Bless.
