my heart's aim is to know the way God's heart aches. the throbbing of His soul is the heartbeat of my existence.


sometimes worship is us offering God a neatly wrapped gift, saying, "this is what i've decided to give you, nothing more, nothing less, dressed up in ceremony and ritual, offering you what i'm willing to afford." though God graciously accepts what we offer, He always extends the invitation to us to stay awhile, to enjoy the gift with Him. will we enter the throne room of God with our gift of worship and stay awhile, waiting on God, sticking around to see if there might be something else He'd like to do with us, something more, something different? He's hoping to share His heart with us if we might stay while and listen, but so often we drop the gift at His feet and run, preoccupied with our to-do lists and sunday brunch plans. can we forgo our schedules and time constraints to offer God more than our specifically prepared offering of worship ... our life? will we wait awhile with Him?
