So good to me!

Tonight I was at Teheilla youth service, and really enjoyed some fantastic praise and worship.

One song we ended up on for a good 20-30 minutes is the song "So good to me." It's kindof a cheesy song, and we used it at camp for the kids, but with the worship band going all out on it, it was awesome.

The guy who was leading the worship kept repeating that we need to just grasp that God really is so good to us! We can't wait until he gives us the car we've always wanted, or a huge cash deposit, or something incredibly wonderful and fantastic to happen before we say that our God is good! We need to be thankful for the beat up car that we might have that gets us from A to B...for the food that we have to put in our mouths...for the friends who really do like us for who we are...for the family who stick by us through thick and thin...for the clothes (however out of style) we have to put on our bodies...and just for the fact that we have our next breath! Everyone at the service just began to lift up their praises and thank God for all the tiny small things that we take for granted in our lives! It was so awesome! It became a huge praise party as everyone danced and shouted and sang our thanks to the Lord! It was so beautiful and just so uplifting! Oh man...loved it! My cheeks just hurt by the time we finished singing our worship to God because I was just beaming! How can you help but smile when you think of all the glorious and beautiful things that God has done for us?

Lord, You are so good to me!
