Week o' Worship

The CFNI Worship Conference was awesome, as expected!

Lesleigh, Angela, and I left a day early so we could avoid the impending 8 inches of snow that were coming that night. The snow never came to Claremore, but instead came to Dallas two days later. We had foot of snow! A foot. Of snow. In Dallas, TX.

...At Papadeaux for dinner...
...So tired after staying up until 2:00am the night before...

Four full days' worth of stuff is too much to share, but here are some highlights....

The problem is that the 'worship hat' should never have come off. -Jenn Johnson on changing from her 'mom hat' to her 'worship hat.'

David would get mad and frustrated and scared, and then he would spill it to God. But he didn't camp there. He always ended with, "But God, You are..." - Jenn Johnson

If people experience the presence of God, you don't have to say anything. - Brian Johnson

He is worthy of an unoffended heart. - Kim Walker

Jesus let His disciples lead while they learned. - Ross Parsley

Drama management is helping people be comfortable in their weaknesses. Pastoring is drawing people out of that. - Gabriel Allred

As quickly as possible, build a bridge with the congregation.
- Thomas Miller

Anxiety = Fear + Motivation
- Thomas Miller

If we're still measuring out our offerings, we haven't seen His worth. - Klaus Kuehn

What is God dreaming through you? - Klaus Kuehn

You don't have to feed them the whole loaf in one setting. - Ross Parsley

Love God with your strength. - Ross Parsley

We have to have new and fresh perspectives for our congregations. - Kari Jobe

You have been feeling like you don't know who you are anymore. But isn't that the best place to be? You don't know who you are, but you know who He is. Find out more about who He is. Don't make it your mission to find out who you are; make it your mission to find out who He is. The greatest place to be is where you lose yourself and find Him instead. - My revelation

Friday night was the live recording of CFNI's new worship album. They joke about being a worship factory, but it's the truth. Can't wait to get my (free!) CD in the mail when it comes out in May! I have parts of the new songs in my head with no way to find out what the rest of the song is! :)

...Before the Live Recording...
...Loved spending the week with these girls...

Thanks, God, for a great week!
