I feel a bit out of it.
As most of you know, we were in Florida all week for the Exponential Conference. It was good to get away… why does it always feel like you need a vacation from your vacation.
Anyway… we were gone from Monday through late Saturday, so we headed into Sunday morning like dizzy spider-monkeys… but all of us were SUPER renewed in our focus and purpose… so I guess we were dizzy spider-monkeys with focus and purpose.
Here are some pictures of what it looks like BEFORE set up:
And here it is DURING service:
Not the greatest photos since it was with my iPhone, but you get the point.
Here was our Sunday Setlist:
- Glory – Reuben Morgan
- Desert Song – Brooke Fraser
- Meet With Me – Lamont Hiebert
- Befriended – Matt Redman
- Healer – Mike Gugliamucci
- Mighty To Save – Morgan & Fielding
Highlights: well… obviously, Matt & I were coming off of a high from our week at Exponential so we were pretty “on” with the speaking and music. Brian even said that it felt like one of our strongest weeks there. That’s a plus. But my favorite part of the morning was stepping back off the mic during “Mighty To Save” and hearing the church sing out to God. That never gets old.
Also… we got set-up quickly. Probably because it was just me and guitar this past week (I could schedule a practice since I was gone, so it was easier just to do the “one-woman-show” deal). I didn’t feel rushed into our morning.
Lowlights: My past sins were weighing heavily on my shoulders that morning. It was a struggle to allow God to remind me that I am forgiven and loved. Satan was REALLY trying to take me down by reminding me of how unworthy I am.
I can’t wait for the day I will no longer feel guilt for my past, but for now, I am SO grateful for the glimpse of grace in my life. That’s where my worship to God comes from… desperation and desire for resolve in my life.
Where does your cry of worship come from?
I feel you on the setup – good idea on the before and after pics, I like seeing how you guys look. I’ll try and remember to take a few this week myself. We use some tables and some chairs too.
Songs – great song list. We did Desert Song too. It’s one of my favorites, personally.

Great set list! Thanks for letting me lift your Francis Chan one-liners last week! BTW, I lead worship at a friends vision-casting service for his church plant on Sunday night and was telling him about your one-liner barrage…he was at Exponential also (too funny).
Sometimes as I lead, I am undone by how good and forgiving God has been in my life. It’s good to remember God’s grace in our past & present; but I pray that Satan doesn’t use that remembrance as a foothold to impact your leadership. Blessings and prayers!

Janaki – I can’t wait to see your set up. I’ll be tuning in
Dennis – you are so welcome. Francis Chan is too good not to share. Thank you for your prayers… and I hope to meet you at Exponential one day

Honey,
I love what you share on your blog. Sunday was an awesome worship service and I was worshiping while doing slides. Which is why I was late a few times.
God really spoke to me through Matt’s message as well. I love serving with you and worshiping while you lead.
