Thanks for visiting my diary. I've been journaling since 1984 and have chosen to share some of my entries online. They are not all positive thoughts, but I hope that reading them might be a blessing to someone who needs encouragement.
If you are just coming to my diary for the first time, please read my introductory entry, where I share some background that is important if you plan to follow this diary regularly.
Please also visit my music page, where you can hear samples from my debut CD, I Believe, which features songs written based on experiences shared in this journal.
God uses worship to heal us, to win battles in the spiritual realm, to draw those who don't know Him, to encourage His children to refocus, to prepare, to realign our priorities. and ultimately to change us and make us more like Him. But all these reasons are secondary. Worship is not about what we get out of it. At the end of the day, we only need one reason. We worship Him because He is worthy. We worship Him for who He is.. And if no other reason existed, that would be enough.

God, I know that You are trying to teach me to worship You, to recognize Your greatness apart from what You do for me. I know that in order to accomplish that, You have to withhold things. I wish I would learn the lesson already! I am so distracted by my needs, and I hear mocking voices telling me You don't care about me. My praise feels so hollow, so unacceptable to You. Would You accept it? Or am I too unholy?
