A CALL TO TRUE WORSHIP

John 4:21-24

Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”

Why Praise and Worship? Well, because this has always been the only place I could truly find myself throughout my life; no matter where I tried to run… I still had a longing for my private worship time with the Lord. It was, and still is my safe place.

I come from a wonderful Christian family of singers and grew up singing in the church. As I approached my 20s, I thought the only way to be a singer was to find fame. I was involved in everything from a Christian show choir in Europe, to Nashville showcases and recording studios. I didn’t reach the level of success I expected because I had no idea the level of intimacy and righteousness God was requiring me to have, in order for Him to show me HIS way. Little did I know His plan was for me to actually lead people into worship and not look for fulfillment in any other genre! Let’s just say I took the long road to find out I am literally nothing without Jesus and His anointing.

(James 4:8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you…)

So, I began to search for the Lord only. I found my place and began to serve. I gained most of my training on the true meaning of Praise and Worship at a church in Indianapolis with mentors that understood the flow of the Holy Spirit. I served there as Music Director for adults and youth for several years. There, I learned the possibilities within true worship and how the Lord can operate through a pure-hearted, righteous, willing vessel.

I am now married to the man of my dreams and have an amazing son, whom we adore. I still minister and serve in praise and worship at a local church.  Since our days are few before the Lord’s return, I can only hope that I am used to make a difference for the Kingdom. I love the Lord with all of my heart and only want to be used by Him, for Him, and through Him. I only hope to show people the Lord and let them experience the power of being in the anointing and flow of true praise and worship. I have no other agendas.
