i'm a bit pooped...going to bed at 2:30, then waking up at 8:30 is not for me...
stuff i wanted to post yesterday, but didn't, b/c blogger was having problems:
practice ended at 12:30am. was really tired after house church. i tried out jae's bass, amp, and cabinet. it's a kickin' combo. the bass's body is beautiful, a flaming maple...it's a bit smaller than standard, so it feels snug. when you start to whack and slap a bit, that bad boy responds like nothin i've ever played. it was a privilege.
house church from 7-10:30. i facilitated praise, jenny did prayer. turned out to be a special time...
honestly (i should always be honest, but some times i'm more honest than others...that sounds wrong no matter how i look at it...whatever, you know what i mean...), i think that there are many times when i sing words. words that i recognize, because i've sung them many times before, words in praise songs i sing vigorously, without really really understanding what i am singing. so many times, i will sing an old praise song i've known for years, and all of the sudden, the meaning of that song will jump out at me. there are times when i speak in christian jargon, "holy schmoly-speak," as someone once said, in prayer. times when i am praying because i am supposed to be praying.
and then there are times when in the midst of whatever, you enter into that sweet place of intimacy with God. there is God, and there is you. no one else. and when you sing praises, those are melodies from your heart. lyrics that are vibrating from your soul, and yet inaduquate for that which is resounding through and through you, in love for an awesome God. and those are times that when you pray, those words are from deep to deep. simple words, honest words, from a broken heart. tonight was one of those nights.
we praised God. we worshipped him. we prayed, in a way that was different from before. tonight, i believe our house church hit a different plane of intimacy with one another and with God.
it's at times like this that i am in wonder of God. of the blessings that he showers me with. God has shown me so much these past two years. thank you, Lord.
Chatted with a friend, about various topics. As we said our goodnights, she said, “you can go to sleep, and meet your wife again.” I assume she was saying that in reference to my posted dreams. Right after she said that, I was reminded of why I enjoyed sleep so much, especially during high school and college. (amongst other good reasons, the main reason was because I would meet my wife there. So silly, you say. Yes, it was. It is.
off to youth group teacher's meeting...
