pointe of worship: love, rain & relationships

Mitch Henson

My goal is to seek and follow God's will, to continually strengthen and deepen my relationship with Christ, and to help others discover the experience of salvation now by accepting His grace. The reason for this blog is to explore the concept of worship and understand how this verb intersects our lives.

love, rain & relationships

(originally posted 8/7)

Wow... does it rain every day in MS? I understand there has been a drought, but it seems we’ve had showers and storms every day since our arrival on July 3rd! Guess we hit the rainy season. ah well...

Tomorrow Amber and I are off to Auburn AL for the weekend. She will be graduating with her Doctorate in Clinical Psychology... I am so proud, just beyond words, that someone like her would have chosen me. God is amazing! While we have our rare moments, like anyone else, not a day goes by that I don’t realize how much more beautiful she is to me today than when we first met. EVERY day I find myself deeper in love with her. I look at the great times of our relationship and the phenomenal life experiences we've shared, but also the struggles life has hit us with and those rare lesser moments... and simply because we did it together, I savor it all.

As I type, I’m listening to the Passion Hymns cd. If you haven’t heard it, I would strongly suggest picking up a copy. I keep hitting rewind (hmmm, do we rewind cd’s? if not, what do you call it?) on “Fairest Lord Jesus”. They’ve written a new chorus that quite simply sings, “You are fairer still today”… what a beautiful way to state that not only are hymns from our past still beautiful, Jesus is even more beautiful today! The longer we are in a relationship with him, through the same hills and valleys that we experience in our earthly relationships, the more beautiful our relationship becomes and the deeper we fall in love with him.
