It was nice to get a rest from everything last night at Ignite and have worship and the message taken care of. I haven't rested like that in a while. Micah Woodard was our guest and brought his own worship band in from Parker Hill in Scranton. It was a good time.
Our new small groups are getting off the ground. Last night I was discussing with some of our High School guys how, for some, music is not the best way to worship. I was challenged to get out of my box. I like to think that I don't even have one... but I do.
Rest helps us see the the danger we pose to ourselves sometimes like that. I don't take enough of a step back and it's something that God's really been putting on my heart. I'm looking forward to a few conferences over the next few months that I hope will aid in the stepping back mainly Ben's Whiteboard Sessions and Unleash, but I'm looking at Hillsong's conference with a friend for the summer as well (that one would be a once in a life time thing). However... I know that I can't rely on these things to sustain the big-picture-resting times that are a necessity. God's given us everything we need here and now to take a deep breath, gather some inspiration and wisdom, and just listen.
