Desperate

To my sweet blogging friends, please be in prayer for me this week. I need it! I am leading worship this weekend at our church and the attacks are flying my way. I recognize what's going on and I know the author of the crap flying my way but it's still no fun. I think the fact that I don't do this weekly helps me see things for what they are. Satan wages war. He is relentless. He will do whatever he can to destroy and he will use anyone to do his dirty work for him. Even those closest to me!

I'm not forgetting what an incredible week I had with Jesus last week and all the things He is doing in my life. This week I am clinging to it and relying on those friends in my life to hold me up and stand in the gap for me. Some may think it's just another worship service like every single week but I can't look at it that way. Every single week people walk in the doors desperate to see a glimpse of Jesus. Desperate to hear from Him. Desperate to know He is there. Desperate to know someone loves them. We are a desperate generation who needs Jesus. Everyone is searching for Him. Most people don't know it but they are! So I refuse to look at this as just another week. I refuse to look at myself as a "fill in" worship leader. God has chosen to use me as a vessel and help engage others in worship and if that means a hellish week, so be it!

HE INHABITS THE PRAISE OF HIS PEOPLE!!!!

Amanda - you are such an awesome person and the enemy is SCARED shitless of you! You are stronger than he and you WILL NOT let him defeat you. Hold tight onto God's ankles and he will keep you on the right path! You are so good at expressing things - you should be a freelance writer!!
