From the End of the Earth

13 October 09
I was really struggling one day – I didn’t know why we were in Los Angeles – I could name about 100 reasons why we should logically be somewhere else, and only about 3 as to why we should be here. I knew we were here because God wanted us to be and that was all that mattered. But I wasn’t feeling the best and I just wanted to stay in bed all day and sleep so I could ignore the feelings. But I had responsibilities so I got up and I was reminded of the fact that I wouldn’t feel like that in heaven – so I was in a place where I had the opportunity and privilege to offer to my God a sacrifice of praise. A sacrifice of joy. It wasn’t something I wanted to do, but I realized that earth is the only place where I can do this and it will be a sweet smelling aroma to Him.

So I turned on some music and sang praise to God and then He gave me this song.

I Will Praise
I will praise, I will love, I will worship You today.
I will praise You and I will honor You, no matter what I’d rather say.

I will praise, I will love, I will worship You, my King.
I will praise You and I will honor You, forgetting every other thing.

I will praise, I will love, I will worship You today.

O God, I trust in You. Let me not be ashamed. Lead me in Your truth and teach me all of Your ways.

One thing have I desired and that will I seek after, to dwell in Your house all the days of my life (repeat)

Let me see Your goodness in the land of the living.

I will praise, I will love, I will worship You, my King. I will praise You, and I will honor You, forgetting every other thing.
