i miss wednesdays

i was thinking last night on the way home from work...by the way i have so much stinkin time to think with like 4,000m miles that i drive every single day, but anyway i miss wednesdays so much. I was there every chance that i got when i could be there and now i can't go ever. I miss the preaching and just being able to hang out but what i miss most of all is the worship. Jeff Hill if you haven't met him is absolutely incredible i look up to him in many different ways. I know that God has put him in my life to fuel passions about Christ and ministry and people. He is the lead singer of the praise band in H20 and one of my very best friends. I like different kinds of music but when people ask me to tell them what my favorite kind of music is i tell them people that sing with passion and fire. I love songs where you can tell the artist is working their butt off to hit the right pitch with so much strength and committment to the note. On wednesdays it is the most incredible worship i have ever experienced. I went back a couple of months ago and the music and worship brought so much joy and excitement that i literally felt consumed by the Spirit. I know that sounds weird especially for me to say cuz i don't like to diverge into what people see as crazy things and i also see them as personal experiences that God gives us between us and Him. But it was absolutely amazing. I've never experienced anything like that. I miss that so much. If we could take some Jeff Hill and put into young people all over the world things would change, they might not always be the right changes but things would get done. anyway all this to say i wonder how many experiences like this i have missed in the past year and a half and furthermore i couldn't imagine people that are saved just deciding not to attend church.

But maybe they don't see the spirit of God move in the way that he does in other places. But i beg you guys go to a place where people are giving all that they have, somewhere where there budget reflects an effort to reach people, somewhere that has excitement and passion like you've never seen.

I pray that God will give me passion to serve Him and that i will meet people who will join me that bring the same if not more passion for Christ and His work. I pray that God would give me people to minister that have untapped creativity and thirst for something more than what they are currently living for. I pray that His vision would become mine and i would seek it with all that i am.
