eyes to worship

"Sing a new song to the Lord!

Let the whole earth sing to the Lord!

Sing to the Lord, praise His name.

Each day proclaim the good news that He saves.

Publish His glorious deeds among the nations,

tell everyone about the amazing things He does.

Great is the Lord, most worthy of praise!"

Psalm 95

(Abigail "worshipping" and dancing to music before bed tonight...)

When Abigail was about 2 weeks old, I had a very spiritual moment

as I was nursing her one day...

I felt the Lord's presence come over me and speak to me about the

gifts He would give to my precious daughter.

They were spoken into my spirit, not all to be shared here,

but one thing He did tell me was that she would have a heart of worship.

And that she does. Full of JOY, just like her name.

You can see it in her eyes.

I have been learning from my little girl to see the things in life

that are worthy of praising our God for...

every dog, every doll,

every "bid" (bird) in the sky, every nap, every breath, every new morning.

She's so good at finding those things.

I think a lot of us mommies could say that our children teach us how to see the world through a different perspective...a joyful, innocent one, full of excitement.

A view that makes God worthy of praise.

I so desire to see my world and my day through the eyes of worship,

and excitement...through the eyes of trust.

Trust that God has the best for me and that when i look at Him,

He will show it to me.

Even if its not the prettiest thing...I would see His hand there,

And praise Him anyways.

(Abigail dancing back and forth to worship music at bed time)

God loves our heart of worship no matter what season we are in.

He is worthy of our praise and our daily trust,

even when we skin our knees or fall chin-first into the coffee table.

He's still there with His perfect plan in place,

one that is worthy of praise.

Help me see it, Lord.
