Worship Video

I stood up and moved a bit to the front this past Wednesday in order to video Victoria singing. About minute 2 I started crying. Not because the singing was amazing but because an image of me, about 15 years ago, performing her biological Mom’s funeral crossed through my mind's eye. It was like my mind could not handle the juxtaposition of my daughter, this young lady worshipping and her Bio-Mom with such a tragic story (to be told another day). I think we miss a lot of the best thing from God because our we cannot wrap our minds around it so we push it away. In fact, I think that almost ALL of what we learn and know about Grace, Peace, Love, Forgiveness, Etc. , if we would for a moment experience it instead of “hear” about it—that our minds just might blow up. Wednesday night, experiencing Victoria leading worship and then having that funeral image flash in my mind, highlighted vividly the differences between what the enemy wants and what God wants. I have, over the years, allowed my “Mind” to get in my way of comprehending the vastness of what it means to be Christian, to be a Child of God, to be a Loved One. The pursuit of understanding my “Self” via life coaching, of learning how emotions are constructed, gratitude practices, meditation, etc. has been so beneficial for opening up my heart and my mind to knowing Him more. Not sure if any of that makes sense but it is something I wanted to share. BTW, minute 2 is where something ‘different’ starts to happen in the room and most of us in the service knew something had shifted. For me it surely had. I hope you keep pursuing spiritual experiences and placing yourself in position to be uncomfortable as you “practice” this extremely mystical thing called christianity. Victoria was on the worship team this morning and I snapped a picture. This is a public episode.
