Blooming for Christ
I often found myself in worship through writing to cope with mandated sheltering in place while recovering from an injury. The result is Blooming for Christ.
What started this was asking myself how the yard looked the year before. I compared pictures from one year to another. Next thing I knew, God was showing me an evolution, spiritual growth stages analogous to my balloon plants. I experienced intense worship in those moments. I can worship the Lord through deadheading faded blossoms and writing. How do you worship the Holy One?
From the week I started battling COVID in January 2022, Jesus has been pulling me closer to his bosom, into more intimacy with him, refining not redefining my call to ministry. Zion is calling me to a higher place of praise with a better understanding of the church without walls. The Lord has escorted me to totally release control of following tradition for tradition’s sake to burst forth, to bloom for Christ.
We are good stewards of what we have learned, of what the Lord has entrusted to us. We must follow the Christ.
