This song gives me the jitters every time. (And it doesn't hurt that Demi Lovato sings this version =P).

As a biology major,

I find the article linked below pretty neat. Recently, I've been starting to realize that worship is much more than praise music on a friday night. Rather, worship is established by how we live our lives, especially when no one is looking. Romans 12:1 is the classic definition, stating that worship is when we offer our everything for God's use.

And it looks different for all of us in practice, depending on our circumstances. For me, worship is learning to give God my free time, and also my school time. Worship is trying my best to get into pharmacy school so one day I may have possessions of my own to give away to others (Ephesians 4:28). Worship is studying well. But worship is also giving my dream of pharmacy school over to God and pursuing it with the willingness to let it go if He asks.

And according to the below article, worship can be as simple as living greener lives, for the sake of honoring God by respecting His creation, creation now subjected to decay but later will be given to God's renewal.

Sometimes I feel like if I don't end up as a pastor or a missionary one day, then I've somehow failed to give my very best for God's glory. But this is untrue. We don't have to be missionaries to proclaim the gospel or live full and radical lives for God. Missions exists because worship does not, and true worship comes out of a relationship with God. If He doesn't ask you to become a pastor or a missionary, it's still all good, because He desires worshippers above all else. Maybe He'll call you to offer yourself as a full-time ministry worker, but what if instead He asks you to penetrate the medical community for Him as a full-time doctor? Or the political sphere as a full-time politician? Whether you become a lawyer or pastor, secretary or missionary, it doesn't matter: God desires full-time worshippers above full-time ministry workers. How He asks you to live it out then becomes secondary.

I do not believe God has led me to seminary or overseas yet. Who knows if He ever will? All I can do is listen and hang on His every word. But in the meantime, I find it encouraging that as I live my life as a full-time student, I am given the opportunity to worship Him in all things, from studying to praying to sustaining the Earth.

(And this is all God-centered, of course; not done for the thing itself, but directed totally towards Him).

And finally here it is, the said below linked article. Hope you like it.

Currently in a love affair with the new david crowder album. It's complex, fresh, and satisfying for the soul.
