A Call To Worship...

Well about two months ago my family from B'more sent me an email asking me about going to a women's conference. They thought that I would get a lot out of it. Although somewhat hesitantly, I decided to attend. Well the theme of the conference (which I did not know when I decided to go) is "A Call To Worship". How very appropriate for this time in my life. I have gleaned such awesome nuggets from the beautiful and anointed women of God. Prophetess Coleby spoke about how we have to be in right standing to offer up true worship. How our hearts cannot be tainted with hatred, malice, ill will, bitterness, and strife if we expect our worship to please God. She talked about how we come to church with all the goodies jumping out distracting others (men) who should be worshiping. My auntie continued the call as she asked "where are the nine"! Where are we when we should be worshiping God? Ten lepers were healed and only one returned to thank and glorify Jesus...were not ten healed? Has God not done many things for us all, why aren't we worshiping him? Not just at church but in our secret closet at home...just you and God. Prophetess Dawkins then spoke to all the married women about being a wife at home. Supporting and loving our husbands while watching God take our ministry/gifts to the next level. We can't expect God to work in and through us while we disrespect our spouses. She said we should be praying for them and when there is an issue take it to God. She said we have to learn when it's time to shut up. All that I have heard this weekend has served to further drive me into a place of closer intimacy with God. I've got a lot of work to do and I and determined to get to the place I should have been a long time ago. Forgive me Lord for not offering my best worship. I know that I cannot be perfect, but I can strive for it. The Lord is working on my heart and as he works my walk and talk should come up a notch or ten :-). I have been truly blessed this weekend and thank God for insights and wisdom gained. Well gotta go to service...more to come!
