Created to Worship

Yesterday I needed to go to Wal-Mart. I needed groceries, ingredients for baby food, and storage tubs to store the maternity clothes my cousin Julie gave me. I left Brody at home with Mike and headed to Hutch. It seemed just like any other time I've gone to Wal-Mart. I pulled into the parking lot, hurried inside (to avoid getting soaked by the rain), and got a shopping cart. As I started down the first aisle it hit me...this is going to be harder than I thought! Maybe it was the time of day, maybe it was because it was a weekend, maybe it was just like every other day...but it seemed like on every aisle I ran into someone that was pregnant or had a tiny baby. I was shocked at the feelings of sadness that washed over me. It wasn't jealousy...just sadness.

Natalie (a friend from ACU) sent me a link to an organization her aunt started when she lost a baby. It's called M.E.N.D. (Mommies Enduring Neonatal Death). There are many helpful articles on there in the "newsletter" section. In one of the articles I read the words to the song below. It brought joy to my heart when I thought about the truth behind the words:

I am your sacrifice

I am your offering

I was created to worship you

There’s nothing I could bring

That would mean more then this one thing

I was created to worship you.

You are all I have

All I have is you

You are all I am

All I am is you

Whatever you ask of me

There’s no one I'd rather be

Then one created to worship you

In all that comes my way

Poverty fame or pain

I was created to worship you

Without you there’s nothing Lord

Now and forevermore I was created to worship you
