This life of ours can be a strange and confusing place and we often feel like we are on our own. While this is not a road map, this is my offering to the world of my journey. It has been filled with great joy and deep pain. I welcome you to join with me on this road and share the journey with me. My journey is to find the abundant life that God promises in His word and to share that life with others. Lets go find our Hearts!

The Power of Worship
I have been in a difficult place this last week. I have felt detached from life really. No desire to connect with anyone on a deeper level. Seeking comfort from things to avoid the uncomfortable places I need to address in my heart. As I was talking with Jody tonight she asked "When was the last time you truly worshiped?" I could not answer her question. I can think of a few times in my life when I really connected and truly worshiped. Jody gave me the space to get out some music and spend some time worshiping. It ended up being about 45 minutes. During that time I took the focus off of me and put it where it belonged and it was so freeing. Did it solve my problems and answer all of my questions? No but it did remind me that I am not alone. I have a savior, a Daddy that loves me more deeply than I know and that no matter where I am on my journey He is with me. He will walk with me into the uncomfortable and the painful places in my life. So tonight let me encourage you as my wife encouraged me, Go worship. It may take some time to get into it but offer your heart to God and let him remind you of who he is.

This is exactly what I have been thinking for myself today.
Tom, thank you for being so honest and open with what you are feeling....not only do we have "Daddy" here with us....it also helps to know we have brothers like you with us too!
I espesially loved your confession that it didn't solve your problems, and answer all your questions....I think that all to often we search for answers when God simply wants us to ask ourselves the right questions to find HIM....KNOW HIM and WORSHIP HIM in spirit and in truth!
Life is a journey...not a destination!
Thanks again for this reminder Brother!
Enjoying the Journey,
Keith
