Chapel
chapel at corban is amazing. who knows if i will get sick of in a year but right now i look forward to going every monday wednesday and friday. today was especially great! it was just praise and worship. we have those every month..im stoked. but anywho, God has been teaching me alot about worship since i got here. usually out of about 5 songs or so i only know 2. which is something im not really used to. and at first i would get kindof mad, like..ahh, i cant sing becuase i dont know that words. God was like, "amanda, you dont need to open your mouth and sing the exact words on the screen to worship me." thats what he said. :] so, today in chapel we probably sang about 11 or so songs and i knew like 6. i have to say that during the songs i didnt know God taught me so much. just sitting ((or standing)) there and really focusing on the words that the songs say is really cool. i even started to listen and not sing to the songs i do know and i learned something new from them, or a line stuck out to me more then it had before. music is so cool. i love it.
here's a really good one:
We are here because of grace
Because of love
We are here
Because of You
Because of You
You are here
Because of grace
Because of love
And you are here
Because of You
Because of You
You fill our hearts
With more than we
Can hold inside
And so we sing
Beautiful Savior
Wonderful King
Oh, beautiful sound
The joy of Heaven here
Oh, wonderful sound
Love of Heaven now
Oh, beautiful sound
The joy of Heaven here
Oh, wonderful sound
Love of Heaven now
Oh, beautiful sound
The joy of Heaven here
Oh, wonderful sound
Oh, wonderful sound
Beautiful Savior
Wonderful King

Way cool, Mando! I love the words to that song. Thanks for sharing it ... I'm glad you're continuing to learn to REALLY worship!
cool thoughts, girlfriend. i read a really neat article that applies to me as a mom: it talked about how this mom was really stressed out during church b/c she had her little kids in service with her. she was busy handing out crayons for them to color with, peeling one off her skirt, and trying to keep the toddler from climbing all over the chairs. in frustration, she says, "God, i know You want us to worship You and teach our children that sitting in church is important. but how the heck am i supposed to do that when i'm busy keeping up with these kids and can't focus on the songs or message? and God spoke to her heart and told her that tending to the little ones He'd given her WAS worship. it brings honor to Him, even if she can't really focus on the music or preaching. so i'm discovering, in my realm of "mommyhood" how to worship outside the box i've always put God in. thanks for sharing your heart!!
It is so good to hear you growing and learning and loving!
