Life is Short - Enjoy the Dance

Slow Dance

Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
 
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
 
Ever followed a butterfly’s erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
 
You better slow down.
Don’t dance so fast.
 
Time is short.
The music won’t last.
 
Do you run through each day
On the fly?
 
When you ask: How are you?
Do you hear the reply?
 
When the day is done,
do you lie in your bed
 
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
 
You better slow down.
Don’t dance so fast.
 
Time is short.
The music won’t last.
 
Ever told your child,
We’ll do it tomorrow?
 
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
 
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
 
Cause you never had time
To call and say, “Hi”?
 
You better slow down.
Don’t dance too fast.
 
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
 
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift thrown away.
 
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower.
 
Hear the music.
Before the song is over.

We are All Hosea,s Wife

Ok, that may sound a little bit weird… It ay be better to say, ‘We are all LIKE Hoseas wife…’
I have been listening to Brooke Frasers album Albertine a lot lately, and one of the songs is called ‘Hosea’s Wife’ and it has really been speaking to me. So I decided to read the book of Hosea to get a better overall picture.
The book of Hosea is one of my favourite books in the bible because it is one of the greatest stories of undeserved love -between Hosea (a prophet of God) and his wife (a prostitute). And it just happens to also mirror the love of our God even though we prostitute ourselves to the ways of the world.
As I read Hosea’s story, where God tells him to find a prostitute to marry, yet when he does and hey marry, she continues in her ways. It breaks my heart to think what he would have been goig through, especially when God him to take His wife back.
The humiliation he must have felt walking in to buy back what was already his in the first place. The thought of his wife sharing intimacy with other men. But he still took her back as his own.

Worship in Life

A couple of years ago I was able to go with a few friends to the Hillsong conference in Sydney, and that is where I first heard the Louie Giglio Indiscribable talk. I must say that left amazed and still consider this message to be one of the most well-conveyed talks I have ever watched. I say watched because with Louie Giglio, Indiscribable featured a lot of ‘big screen imagery’ to help us understand the greatness and sheer hugeness that God is – by the things that He created. This is an amazing DVD so I thought I would take the time and write a small review on it.
