When it's time to worship I need to put my all into worship. I feel once I do this all of the other feelings will vanish. When I play a sport I always stretch so I can be at my best. When I come home from a stressful day at work I try to leave my problems at the door. I need to do this at church also.

Just like in school we learn differently, we are all blessed with different gifts. "As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies - in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ." 1 Peter 4:10-11 Our gifts may be different, but our goal is the same and that is to glorify God.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893317306318281984.post-72006375883834780502010-03-10T21:17:22.467-06:002010-03-10T21:17:22.467-06:00great idea. i talked to a friend recently that doe...great idea. i talked to a friend recently that does that and he was talking about how cool it is to look back at things and realized how they've all been taken care of...Russ Bowlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04979379805101208852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893317306318281984.post-41952853022054699902010-03-10T19:52:41.814-06:002010-03-10T19:52:41.814-06:00I totally relate to getting caught in the exciteme...I totally relate to getting caught in the excitement of the moment and forgetting to give God thanks.
