Once in a while, God does a "re-alignment" on your life. Maybe it's through something you read, or an experience, or God speaks to you so clearly, that something changes in your life. For me, a re-alignment of my life happened at this weekend's "Lead Us On" conference in Pomona.
Andy Park came into town to co-lead a conference with Terry Butler. These guys are two of the most anointed, gifted, and experienced worship leaders and writers in the Vineyard movement, and in contemporary worship. They brought a two-fold purpose into the sessions. One aspect was in teaching and encouragement, and the other was to lead the conference in extended times of worship.
Andy and Terry brought messages of "resting in the Lord", of remembering the poor, and the Love of the Father. The messages were simple, but the ministry and worship times were powerful.
Saturday night's final session was an amazing experience. I had the chance to play guitar with the team, and I was like a kid in the candy store to be a part of that session. The presence of God was amazing, and the joy in that room was palpable. The worship time lasted for about 2-1/2 hours as God took us on a journey through the leadership of Andy and Tony.
My frame of mind, my heart, my strength changed so much in only 24 hours, it is hard to believe. It makes me realize how important it is to stay connected to these kinds of events, and to continue being refilled frequently.

Awesome man. Sounds like the Lord did some important stuff in you this weekend. It was good to get in on the last little bit of worship.
I had a similar experience at their presentation at the Inland Vineyard last night. I rejoyced in worship as they led us into the Lord's presence. At the end we danced the night away.
I think it is quite amazing that God delights in us being like kid's in a candy store - taking in the sweetness of times with Him.
Joseph,
Yes, I know that is so. I also felt like I really didn't belong up there. Man, those old cats are soooo good, and so talented. I was just along for the ride, and it was a fun one.
Those old cats did play amazingly well... and you also really added a lot musically. There where some really sweet times where your parts took the songs to a new place.
Thanks, man!
Have a great time in Victoria!
