This week started off like every other week. I went to The Well Sunday night and loved it then worked everyday. I realized how much I love worship on Sunday night. They only played two songs and I just felt like that wasn't enough. I realize worship isn't just how many songs you play or whether or not you know the song, but I just really feel the presence of God when I'm singing worship songs for Him. I've known for awhile that music is my passion and before that God is. So why not combine both of the things that are most important to me and use them to glorify my Maker. I intend on someday being a worship. I don't know if that will be at one church every Sunday, or traveling around and playing at different churches. I would love to experience both. We'll see which door God opens first. Also, on Sunday night the speaker spoke about idols and how much they can affect our life. I realized that I put so many unimportant, material things before God and that's just not how it's supposed to be. It's really hard to comprehend, and I'm still learning, what it means to give everything you have to God. I understand that since everything is His we shouldn't have a problem with giving it all back to Him. But there are days when I just don't quite understand. It's human nature to always want more, but I want to work on being completely satisfied with God's love that I don't need anything more than that. So that's what I'm going to do.
This week I also saw a video that I would highly recommend for everyone to see. I'll post the link and let the video speak for itself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_e4zgJXPpI4
Also this week I had a really good conversation with one of the customers that came into Teazer. We started talking about religion and we both had good points. I explained to him that I don't need proof to have faith. I have a relationship with my Savior and that's all I need. I don't need a scientist to tell me God exists because He has Himself to me more than enough in my lifetime. He then made a statement about the fact that since I've grown up in a Christian home I'm pressured into believing what I believe. I told him no one knows my heart except me. No one can tell me what I can and can't believe. No one has pressured me into believing in God. No one is making me have a relationship with Christ. I made the decision when I was 17 to fully commit my life to Him. When I was younger I was baptized and asked Him into my heart. But I didn't really understand what that meant until now. Now that I'm older I am able to make my own decisions, and I have decided to live my life for the One who gave it to me. It was a very healthy conversation on religion which I love. I don't like when I feel attacked for what I believe and I'm glad it didn't turn into that.
