in the distance

I can hear the praise and worship team preparing off in the distance.

We've been teaching our congregation how to prepare before coming to the services here at Crossroads.

We've been teaching them that worship is not just singing.

We've been teaching them that the singing part of the service is not about them.

This morning I woke up very convicted to prepare my own heart for corporate worship.  It is perhaps even more difficult for someone leading to really be able to focus on the services when you are in charge of the services.  But, I was thinking that is a really lame excuse to throw to God.

This morning I confessed any unconfessed sin He brought to my mind and asked Him to guide my words and sharpen my focus on Him only.

I'm excited for the services to begin!
