Praise Him, Praise Him!

OK, so I haven't done a very good job keeping my blog. I started working more, and frankly all this dreary winter weather we had kinda put me in a bit of a funk. I am ready for some spring-time! There's just something about a clear sunny day that makes me feel even closer to God. It's like creation is praising Him by revealing the beauty that He has put in it for all to see. I believe that's what we are suppose to do also. Praise him with our life! Reveal to others the beauty that He has put in our hearts! Even in the hard times, the dark and dreary times, let us praise Him! I am so thankful to know that when it seems life couldn't get any worse, He is there to comfort me. He sees my hurts and knows my heartaches. Only in Him can I find peace and rest. He is my redeemer, comforter, and friend. Life without Him is vain and pointless. He looks at me, and with all my failures and all the sins of my life, He sees only the holiness of the blood of Jesus that was shed for me. I am covered! oops sorry, got carried away there :)

I am super excited because, after struggling with myself for a lifetime, I have committed to follow Him fully. I truly think He's leading me to worship and sing for Him. Honestly, Just saying it makes me feel silly, but if that's what His call on my life is then I want to do it. I don't know if anyone reading this has ever physically felt His presence, but when I sing I do. Nothing else in this life matters more to me than feeling His presence. I want to LIVE in it, every hour of everyday. I know that His spirit is already in me, and I praise Him for it, but this is like being CONSUMED by His spirit. I wish I could describe it better, but my point is I want to be as close to Him as possible and I want to be used by Him. Nothing else satisfies!

So, I have no idea what to do about singing. I can't play any instruments. I can't even read music. I am completely clueless and I don't have anyone to mentor me in this...except God. Pray for me and I will be sure to update my journey more often. I really feel like I babbled my way through this tonight. I hope at least some of it made sense! haha.

Oh, and if you're interested you can hear me sing at  http://www.bandmix.com/gh_fleming/
