Lifting Him up and praising Him. Just that! It set my thinking straight about meetings. I love them, but they had become a time where I went to get fed primarily, to stay in touch with family, to enjoy the music. When I stepped out of that selfish thinking, and really just made it about Him, it felt different! The message for some time now was \u201cIt\u2019s not about you!\u201d, and this weekend \u201cCheck your problems at the door\u201d. I love that! When I was encumbered with the \u201cweight of the world\u201d I wasn\u2019t able to put Him first and just praise Him. What an experience to be there just for Him! He let me praise Him and I\u2019m so grateful. Grateful for right thinking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">I love to be around God\u2019s people. To see how we are supposed to praise Him, to learn how to love each other and to observe how to live right.
