Leading worship tonight was new. A new experience from God because of a new filter in the room. The 1000lb gorilla of a deadly cancer met by a family of believers singing of God being all we want and need. We found out Monday that Erin had cancer. Since Monday we’ve braced as we hear more and more devastating news of an aggressive cancer well beyond it’s early stages. A mom struggling for her life; a friend full of hope in Jesus. She sang with her husband by her side and her 4 children spread across the room of teenagers. I wondered all night what was going through their heads. What was she thinking as she sang “your grace is enough for me.” ? Tonight was new because the filter of this reality made God more real. It made His words more real and His promises more powerful. Tonight was new because the music was so much more! The music was filled with healing melodies and God glorifying lyrics putting all focus on GOD. Cancer was not on the mind; God was. Death is being mocked by the praises of a child of God who will live forever!
