What’s Inspiring You This Week?
Here’s What’s Inspiring Me…
Inspiration From God’s Word
I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart;
I will tell of all your wonders.
Psalm 9:1
When Worship Hurts – Donna Schultz
Like Donna, I often reflect on worship.
Like Donna, I have discovered that:
Praise does not always flow.
Sometimes it’s a choice.
Sometimes it’s a battlefield.
In her post, Donna shares her favorite worship song.
Heart Of Worship by Matt Redman is one of mine.
Heart Of Worship – Matt Redman
Book Of The Week – Tales Of The Defended Ones
A must read book – once you start, you will not want to put it down!
Sit Down And Write – May 1 thru 14, 2013
Whether you’re a novelist, a blogger, or a book reviewer –
If you write, this event is for you!
I’ll be joining and I hope you’ll be too!

Inspire Me Monday #69 – Week Of April 29, 2013
I like the idea of Inspiration Monday.
Monday’s often get the short end of the stick
But they are fraught with potential!
