Last week was a nutzo week. You know those times in your life when everything you are involved in hits its peak and when it rains…oh baby, it POURS. Well, that, my friend, is the repercussion of busy-ness and overcommitment at its worse. Rock Harbor hosted a worship event called Justice Now and I wasn’t planning on attending since I had “so much to do” but then in the middle of the day I had a deep desire for communal worship. Although my daily life goal is to breathe worship day in and day out, my soul had an insatiable need for music and community. I thus drove my butt to Rock Harbor. I never regret photo opportunities. Sure, I dread some every now and again for whatever reason–fear of the uncontrollable or unexpected, feelings of inadequacy, etc.–but I don’t think I have ever left a shoot feeling like I wasted my time or that I got nothing out of it. It’s a beneficial outcome all the time. My attendance on this purposeful Thursday evening was a case in point. The subject matter definitely took my focus off of me and onto the greater needs and urgencies out of my world. It was not only a reminder of how incredibly blessed and rich I am but also how there is a way to help, alleviate and support…whether that is by way of a picture, a purchase of an accessory, a sponsorship or a trip to serve the immediate and tangible needs…to name a few.
Enough about me and my thoughts.
Justice NOW was a concert/event for worship leaders, the church community and sponsorships/vendors to advocate awareness of Northern Uganda’s current condition amidst a 20-year war. It was a powerful evening, to say the least.
