"everything i've got"

so with nothing to be eloquent about, here's my blog.

coffeehouse is coming in a few more days, and I'm rather nervous about it, simply because this is something i've never seen done before, and with us as a fellowship, being the first ones to do this, i'm really anxious to see how it will turn out.

i've noticed that sometimes i find myself measuring success by how many people show up to these events, and i know that it's a horrible mentality to enter a coffeehouse with. as a result, i guess this is just going to be a real test of how i can really show people who Christ is to me and what He has done for my sake.

i guess i just really pray that God would open hearts and eyes at this event, that whoever steps into that room, christian or not, would see something bigger, would see a grander picture of who He is to us.

on a side note...

i've really been into the classic worship song, "I Love You Lord" ever since i heard as cities burn do it for their outro, and for their little cameo in "gates." amazing song by the way.

i think the next time i lead a worship service, i'll use that song. it's beginning to show to me the reason why we worship God, simply because we love Him.

i love how all the simple and/or repetitive songs are what always get me.

awesome god
hallelujah (hillsong version)
agnus dei
hallelujah (ben cantelon version)

and even for non worship stuff...
redeem - the wedding (the "eh oh, eh oh, we're not alone" part gets repeated alot)
we can try - between the trees (simple to the maximum, good song to the maximum)

always good stuff. maybe it's because there's so many things you can do with them to make them sound so epic, because there isn't much to work with to begin with. heh, what fun, the musicality of worship music.

but i guess, especially for coffeehouse, all of this is because and only dedicated to God, huh?

well then, here goes everything i've got.
