My Worship Revolution

As we journey through this life, we all pick up some bumps, bruises, and wounds along the way.  People that have hurt us.  Situations that have impacted us.  Words that forever rattle around in our heads.  I’ve had a few of my own.

I’ve discovered that many times, just when I think a wound is really on it’s way to healing, along comes something small, or big, that rips the scab off and I recognize that the pain is still there.  Part of me feels like it’s a cruel joke from God sometimes.  Part of me wonders if God doesn’t allow it just to remind me that it’s still there and I still have work to do.  But most of me thinks that God want to remind me that healing is a process.  A long process.  He needs to be the healer.  And that even once a wound is healed, the scars don’t ever go away.  I guess that’s kinda where I’m at today.

A while back I read this post at Ethos, and the following quote has really stuck with me ever since.

"We must take our pain and burn it as fuel for our journey."
-Japanese poem

Right now I need to be reminded, by God, who I really am. 
I need to be reminded who He’s created me to be.
I need to look to him for my worth, rather than seek it from men.
Today I need to be complete in Christ.
Last night I came to the harsh realization that it’s been a long time since I have really felt complete in Christ…ALONE.
I need to just "be."

So I’m gonna start working on that more for now.  I don’t know exactly what that looks like.  But I know it’s necessary.  It’s crazy to think about what the title of this blog has come to mean for me.  God truly is revolutionizing – completely reorienting – what my understanding is of worship to Him.  Everyday.  Don’t ever be confused by the title and my job.  It’s really not about the music.  It’s about my life.

And it’s a long journey.
It’s tough.
It hurts.
But it’s also great.
Thanks for caring.
Thanks for walking…with.
Thanks for praying.
Thanks for being a part of the journey.
I need to find myself fully complete in Christ once again.

How about you?
