Living a Life of Worship
I love worship. It draws me into His presence and close to His heart like nothing else. The crazy thing? It’s also what I make the least amount of time to do on a daily basis. I read the Word and books that help me grow in my faith. I journal. I pray in bits and pieces all throughout the day (and could grow in this area, too). Yet, worship seems to be the last thing I do as part of my day, and I often end up out of time with that being the thing that gets left out of my Jesus time.
Challenges for me include the fact that I’m not a morning person, so starting with music is hard for me. I want a quiet cup of coffee as I read. Then, once I’m functioning more, I can move into worship, but by then, I need to get on with my day. I can also get overstimulated, so I prefer to have my days be quiet, rather than play music. I’ll even opt for a teaching to listen to over music when I’m cleaning, for instance, which can seem really odd, but I love learning and am a perpetual student, so I’m naturally drawn to teaching. What’s so funny is that I was on a worship team for years, have an A.A. degree in theater and music, and grew up with music constantly being played, so you would think living a life of praise and worship would be second nature for me!
What all of this speaks to me is how powerful praise and worship really are and why the enemy will lull us into complacency in this area and make it feel “hard” to do. Worship is a choice – whether that choice is in what we do with our time or in how we feel in the moment. It has nothing to do with us or our circumstances. It’s not a coin we put into a vending machine to get what we want out of it. Neither is it a quick fix (although praise and worship shift atmospheres like nothing else can).
Worship is all about Him. It’s about our loving Father God, our Creator, and Maker of the Universe. It’s about Jesus, the Lord of all, King of Kings, Savior of the world. It’s about our Beloved - His beauty, kindness, mercy, and grace. It’s about recognizing His glory and whose presence we bow before in surrender, love, and adoration as we honor Him with all that we are and everything we were created to be. It’s offering Him our thanks with grateful hearts, undone by His goodness toward us.
In that place and space, our every thought, every breath, are consumed by Him, crowding out anything else that would try to steal our attention away. That’s when God moves on our behalf. Without us asking Him to, He goes to war for us and defeats the enemy in a battle He’s already won. All we need to do is worship, let everything fall away, and allow Him to be our sole focus.
Some are drawn to hymns, while others love contemporary worship music. Some even end up unexpectedly writing songs of their own in His presence. Worship is found in music, art, writing, dance, and even breath.
When I think of breath as worship, I think of speaking out, “Yahweh,” the Hebrew name of God. As we say, “Yah,” we breathe in; “weh” is the exhale. It’s a sacred name and as such, the vowels are removed by Jews in writing and the name is regarded as too holy to be spoken.

This morning, I was reading about the importance of living a life of praise and worship. As I read, I suddenly had the urge to write. I’m not someone who rhymes – it’s not my style, so I knew this was Spirit inspired. I pray as you read these lines, the Lord would draw you more deeply into His heart, you would sense His presence more fully, and know His love for you more intimately than before.
Life of Worship
I will worship.
I will sing.
I will write
Of the praises of the King!
Time slow down,
World, stand still.
Give me these moments,
If you will.
Moments in His presence,
Love wrapped ‘round.
Leaning in even more,
This place becomes holy ground.
Gauzy white, You dress me.
Nothing hidden; nothing unseen.
I stand before You beautiful.
By Your love, made clean.
To You, my life surrendered.
In all, You have my, “Yes.”
Bowed in worship before You,
I can offer You no less.
Bridge:
You are my everything.
You are my everything.
You are my all.
You are my everything.
You are my all!
My lips will praise.
My voice will shout.
‘Cause if I’m silent,
Rocks would cry out!
You are worthy,
So worthy of praise!
To You, and You alone,
My “hallelujah” I raise!
This is Thanksgiving week. Why not anchor our thanks-giving in the One who’s given His all for us to have it all? Life, love, redemption . . . that’s just the beginning reasons for our praise and worship!
Need prayer? Please reach out. We'd love to pray for you and your family! Much love and Happy Thanksgiving!
Living for Him,
Andrea & Brian

Our Mission: Love Others Well & Empower Them to Do the Same
CAVE HIDING
I’ve been hiding in a “cave.” Feeling lost, alone, unsure, I haven’t known what to say, so I’ve stayed quiet. This has come during a time when I’ve heard the Lord more constantly and clearly than ever before and what I’ve heard from Him has been confirmed over and over again through so many prophetic sources.
Despite that, I’ve allowed shame, fear of man, and wondering if I’m being judged to keep me hidden from sight and my voice silenced when I know that’s the farthest thing from what I’m called to be. These lies of the enemy have been a strategy and plan to keep me from moving forward in what I know the Lord has called me to in this new season.
“To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.” (Ecclesiastes 3:1)
The season of the Lord changed, and I had to change with it. Old wineskins would no longer hold the new wine He was longing to pour out. I could no longer wear the garments that had once fit and been comfortable.
It’s left people questioning and those I love dearly not understanding the decisions I was making in following the Lord. I haven’t fully understood His leading either, but I knew it was Him and despite the constant confirmations, I still questioned if what I was doing was “right.”
I walked in shame because the approval and blessing I’d hoped for from man wasn’t there. It wasn’t enough for me to know with certainty that I’d heard from God and had total peace in following Him. Like Elijah, I found a cave to hide in and sat in my perceptions.
Prior to Elijah hiding out in the cave, he had just experienced an incredible victory over the enemy (I Kings 18). The enemy was none too happy about it and spoke death threats over him, producing tremendous fear, doubt, and misgivings in his heart (1 Kings 19:1-3). Elijah allowed the voice of one to drown out the Voice of One who had just shown His power and might to be far greater.
The voice he listened to brought him to such a place of discouragement, defeat, and depression that he longed to die. He fled to the wilderness where was strengthened by an angel more than once, then sent on a journey to a mountain where he went into a cave.In this cave, God asked him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” (I Kings 19:9b, NKJV)
God didn’t ask Elijah this question because He didn’t know the answer. He was asking for Elijah’s sake. He wanted Elijah to recognize what was in his heart, as well as the lies he had allowed himself to believe. What was God’s answer to Elijah? To go out and stand in His presence.
It was there the Lord once again asked him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” (I Kings 19:13b)
Elijah’s response was the same as it had been the first time God had asked him. Oh, how I understand Elijah! I’ve been a broken record before God over these last few months in my cave. I’ve poured out my cries of, “You, said . . . !” And now I feel alone, and unsure, longing for blessing, affirmation, and a sending off into destiny . . .
I’ve felt God speak to me much as He spoke to Adam and Eve in the Garden when He asked them, “Who told you that you were naked?” (Gen. 3:11) In essence, He was asking me the same question. Who told me I was being judged? (What would it really matter if I was?) Who told me that I needed the blessing of man when I had the blessing of God? Who told me that the minority was greater than the majority? Who told me that following God wasn’t enough?
Lies. They were death threats to my destiny . . . and I listened to them. I hid in my cave feeling like I had nothing to say, so I didn’t say much of consequence for weeks that became months. I shrank back from being the fiery, passionate, warrior I know I am – the one who strikes fear in the camp of the enemy because of the One who lives and moves and breathes within me.
Outside of the cave, God gave Elijah clear instructions regarding his next steps and, in so doing, dispelled the lies of the enemy. He strengthened Elijah in His presence as He showed Elijah His glory. In the face of that glory, Elijah was able to hear the truth that gave him forward movement in his destiny.
It’s a time for each of us to go out and stand in God’s presence, allow God to ask us what we’re doing in the places we’re in, then allow Him to speak truth to our spirits and souls that will position and propel us in our destinies in this new season.
This isn’t about us as individuals. This is all about a world in need of the One who has defeated the enemy and our roles in enforcing that victory. We have mandates to fulfill on the earth and we can’t do it hiding in caves.
I’m emerging from my cave, getting into His presence, and listening for the next steps He’s telling me. I’m determined to walk out what He reveals and I’m wearing my combat boots as I take each step.
No more hiding in fear.
No more silence.
No more eyes on man.
I have to fulfill my role in bringing heaven to earth and it’s imperative I carry out His mandates assigned to me. He’s positioning me and propelling me forward. I may not fully know what that looks like, but I trust the One who does, and I’ll follow Him anywhere.
What's God speaking to you outside of the cave?
I linked a song below that's great to play as you spend time in His presence listening to Him speak to your heart. I'd love to hear what He shares with you!

November Prophetic Word: Position
Over the last several months of this year, there’s been a progression happening in the Spirit – listen, shift, adjust, deeper, and this month . . . POSITION. There’s a divine positioning happening in both the spiritual and natural realms because God is moving His remnant into place to fulfill His present mandate.
There are many who are feeling restless. They’ve wondered at their restlessness, fought against it, questioned it, even felt shame over it. They’ve prayed and sought God’s peace to replace it. This restlessness is by design. You feel restless because you’re not meant to stay where you are. God is positioning you and that requires movement from where you’ve been into where He wants to take you. This is destiny- and calling-related. Embrace being uncomfortable and don’t be afraid of feeling unsettled or restless. There’s design and purpose in it.
I saw a chessboard and chess pieces being moved around on it. What drew my attention were the movements being made in order to make the path clear for a particular piece to have an unobstructed path to be positioned for victory. There was a time of waiting while the movements of the other pieces were completed. All the while, the positioning of what lie ahead was kept in mind by the piece patiently waiting.
Embrace the waiting. Stay in the timing of God. Don’t try to push ahead, yet don’t hold back allowing fear to paralyze you from moving forward. The things and people being positioned prior to you moving into place is necessary for hindrances to be removed from your path. That doesn’t mean these things or people are hindrances to you. It simply means that you’re on the same side of the board and each is being placed where needed for victory. Bless those who seem to move ahead of you. Keep your eyes set on Him and where He’s bringing you.
You’re moving into unfamiliar territory. Expect to be uncomfortable. Keep your eyes on Him - He’ll remain your guiding compass. Trust that He knows the way before you and has already gone ahead of you.
This is a time for you to “come into your own” while living a life utterly surrendered to the Lover of Your Soul. He’s positioning you as His Beloved and from that place of knowing the depths of His love for you as you never have before, you’ll rise and walk as one who more fully knows who you are in Him. His love will transform and empower you for the position He’s called you to at this moment in time and you will be utterly amazed at who you’ve become in your oneness with Him.
The timing for this positioning is key as we prepare to enter a new year. There’s a setting in place for what lies ahead. Position yourself at His feet in worship, in surrender, with a willing heart, and with open hands. Allow Him to bring you to a greater place of consecration and sanctification. Be willing to take risks. Be willing to let go. Find yourself secure in Him and know He can be trusted – even in the unknown.
He’s positioning you for greatness in the days ahead.
Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) – ’For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.’
Over the last several months of this year, there’s been a progression happening in the Spirit – listen, shift, adjust, deeper, and this month . . . POSITION. There’s a divine positioning happening in both the spiritual and natural realms because God is moving His remnant into place to fulfill His present mandate.
There are many who are feeling restless. They’ve wondered at their restlessness, fought against it, questioned it, even felt shame over it. They’ve prayed and sought God’s peace to replace it. This restlessness is by design. You feel restless because you’re not meant to stay where you are. God is positioning you and that requires movement from where you’ve been into where He wants to take you. This is destiny- and calling-related. Embrace being uncomfortable and don’t be afraid of feeling unsettled or restless. There’s design and purpose in it.

Our Mission: Love Others Well & Empower Them to Do the Same
HAPPY NOVEMBER!
We have SO much to be thankful for as we officially enter into the holiday season! The air in our lungs, the sun rising every morning, the stars filling the sky every night, our friends, our family members, our homes, our jobs, even our oils - that's just the start of some things we can be thankful for!
I’ve got something fun for you to try this month. I want to challenge you to take a few minutes and think about 3 things you're grateful for each morning. Write them down and even take a moment to thank God for those things. You could even play a favorite worship song as part of this time. (If you need suggestions, please let me know. I'd be happy to share some of my favorites.) Take note of how your attitude and demeanor may change as you continue to do this throughout the month.
Want to take it up a notch? Grab a bottle of the Gratitude essential oil blend and inhale it deeply as you think about all you're thankful for or include it as part of your morning diffuser blend. Keep reading because I'll be telling you all about this oil, as well as sharing about the others you can get as gifts with purchase this month!
Keep scrolling for our events, as well as recipes, a diffuser calendar, and some great tips to help you out through these next several weeks.
Let's get started on all the November news!
