Sister date/ Day the Thirteenth

Dearest you,

"The Purpose Driven Life" day thirteen: Worship That Pleases God
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength." -Mark 12:30
*God wants ALL of us, as in ALL of every individual.
*God is pleased when our worship is:
accurate (worship God as he is truly revealed in the Bible)
authentic(no pretense or showmanship. Worship with genuine emotion and honest love)
thoughtful (worship with an engaged mind. Be specific.)
practical (passive worship is an oxymoron. Worship with effort and energy, accepting that worship is often a sheer act of will--a willing sacrifice.)
*God-pleasing worship is deeply emotional and deeply doctrinal. We use both our hearts and our heads.
*The best style of worship is the one that most authentically represents our personal love for God.
*Real worship is rooted in the Bible.
*The heart of the matter is the matter of the heart.


Today was big sister day! I went on a date with my older sisters--out to lunch and shopping, what could be better? :D
We laughed 'til our sides ached and our milkshake-filled stomaches didn't feel so swell :P We danced in the car amidst many stares and sang as loud as we possibly could with the windows rolled down. Least to say, our outing was the most fun I've had in a while.
Praise the Lord for big sisters!








Con amore,
