This weeks topic is worship, and is hosted by LauraLee, here are her questions:

A “Call to Worship” is usually at the beginning of a church service to prepare hearts and minds for worship together. What do you do or think you should do at the start of each day to prepare your heart and mind as a woman living a life of worship?

If you were to gather at the well with women younger than you in the faith, what would your call to worship be for them?

If your life, worship-wise, could be defined or with a song, which one would it be (or which one would you wish it to be)?

Hmmm, how do I start my day with an attitude of worship? Well it starts way before daybreak. I have this habit of praying everytime I wake up. all night long, and actually before I go to sleep. With lots of children and a busy household, I am often the last one up and that is when the house is quiet. It can get pretty loud around here  . But after everyone goes to bed it gets quiet. And i spend more time listening then talking when I pray. So I like it quiet sometimes. Some nights like last night, it seems like I wake up often so I use those times as an opportunity to pray more.  and often when I wake up in the morning I will stay in bed a little longer and pray more. So when I start my day it is often after hours of prayer.

Here in the South we have saying, it is a question that is said more like a question, but doesn’y really expect an answer. I like it. When one approaches another they often say, ”watcha know good?”. I love it because it doesn’t give room for complaining. I often use that same type of phrase but usually word it more like, “so what good things has the Lord been showing you?” It opens the door to speaking good of Him, which always leads to worship.  

Worship songs, well my children are  by far my favorite worship leaders. They sing prophetic songs to the Lord. the oldest two lead worship at our church. I think one of my favorites, is a song my daughter wrote entitled “Love That Chases”, about the love of the Lord, most folks don’t have a clue how much God loves them. Here are the lyrics, and you can hear it here lovechases.mp3. This recording as actually her singing it at a friend’s funeral. It was his favorite, he had a revelation of the Father’s love.
