face to face.

i was at work tonight, and since i'm at the front desk, i get to hear the saturday night service most of the time. sometimes i find myself checking people in and singing along to the worship songs. i'm sure to the normal person i look very odd, but who cares. so, i'm standing there, and kari jobe is leading worship this weekend along with the Watoto Children's Choir who are here from Uganda.

kari was singing revelation song, which has always moved me to tears. at one point during the song, the children from Uganda were singing alone. i cannot describe the emotion that came over me. just to see those children worshiping the Lord with all their might. its as if they saw Him face to face.

i think thats one thing that i will miss most while i'm in Asia. i think i take for granted the freedom i have to worship here. we sing every sunday, and its routine. i am totally guilty of that. i'm not going to blame anyone but myself. because honestly, its not anyone else's fault.

so, as an imperfect worshiper, i challenge you (and myself) to a day full of beautiful worship. singing praises freely. because there might come a day when we can't worship freely, but oh how wonderful the freedom is now!

filled with wonder, awestruck wonder, at the mention of Your name. Jesus Your name is power, breath, and living water, such a marvelous mystery!  -Revelation Song by Kari Jobe
