Kiss From Heaven!

There's no way I'd be able to go to sleep tonight without blogging about my night tonight and the Kiss God lavished on me. I'll have to take you back a few years ago to get the understanding of this "kiss" btw a kiss from heaven is Gods way of letting us know how much He loves us. Sometimes their great big kisses and sometimes their subtle reminders to embrace the smallest gifts from above.

About 6 1/2 years ago my life spun out of control, I had the heartbreak of a lifetime finding out the love of my life after 18 years of marriage had betrayed our family and had an ongoing year long affair, now before you freak out I'm learning to (show my scars) so I'm being pretty transparent, but you'll understand why in a minute. Not only did we lose the church we pastored together, but over night we lost all our friends and my husband became suicidal. Just a few days after resigning from being a worship pastor for many years and having to walk away from my worship band, I heard that The Newsboys were in concert and if I ever needed to be on the other side of worship it was at that moment.

I had never seen the Newsboys but loved and respected their music and led many of their songs in my own band. That night I experienced the love of God through Peter Furler, Phil Joel, & the Newsboys it was an epic worship night for this broken hearted soul. It wasn't too long after that night, Peter Furler left the Newsboys to embark on a new journey. But they left an impact on my soul never to be forgotten.

Now let's fast forward to today. I knew Peter Furler was in concert tonight but boy was I in for a huge surprise when this afternoon I found out that he & Phil Joel would be together again for the first time in 5 years, oh and their lead guitarist was with them as well.

This might not make much sense to you but it's my KISS from God this day. Tonight's worship was Epic it was off the charts amazing, we were thrust into the presence of God through the lives of the original Newsboys tonight.

How does 6 1/2 years ago and tonight tie together well Peter Furler led me to the throne a few days after my life took such a blow reminding me I could make it and that God would never leave me nor forsake me. Tonight, after same amount of days later as 6 1/2 yrs ago, I once again was taken to the throne by Peter Furler just days after my divorce was put into motion. I gave my marriage my best shot, I understood grace so clearly and I know that even though years later it failed I know my God didn't fail me and He's never left my side.

The last song tonight was I AM FREE! That's the smack part of the kiss, God showing me through incredible anointed worship that He loves me and only a God like our God could've set me up for those 2 moments in my life to have taken place when they did, how they did, and where they did. God had me strategically placed in Texas in 2005 and at a worship conference in Seattle Wa. tonight. FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS!

God Almighty how I pray that someone walks into my church when I'm leading worship and they need a kiss from the King and He uses me to impact their life the way mine has been impacted!

I honestly can't believe how much MY KING loves me!
