I heard this song for the first time today during my first visit to a different parish church...
So real and so true words of worship...
I was praying, singing and crying.... And I painted a prayer too... And will pray and paint more...

I remember the time when I started to scribble my painted prayers during our worship group practice at Lutheran Church at Calgary, Canada, while we listened worship song of Michael W. Smith Ancient Words for the first time... And worship leader asked me if I would be open paint during worship at church... I prayed and said yes. And that yes opened a new door for my creativity... New door for sharing my faith with the congregation...
I have lived through amazing time at Canada, involved in worship, ministry, sharing my faith and gift of creativity in my parish church and daily living my faith in L'Arche community...
Those 2 years of my life in Canada were so far the most connected time of my visual art creativity in worship, prayer in daily life and inspirational spiritual direction meeting with FCJ sister Pat D. I am still in touch with lots of lovely Calgary people through prayer and through Facebook friendships... I know I am at different stage of life. I am not at Canada. I am not singing at all night prayer meeting at HTB at London... I do miss all those times, but I know I am at different place now...
I feel like I have been living in the middle of huge and dry desert last few years spiritually. But all makes sense. Everything is a part of a bigger picture... So much learning...times of uncertainty and questions...
So much has happened in those last 12 years since I left Canada... My life has changed so much. But what has not changed is who I am in Christ... But so often I felt lost and just not knowing where is God calling me....
But today I feel the new hope and new fire in my heart... God renewing and refreshing my heart and starting to heal lots of broken things.... I pray and I seek to be open....
I pray with the words of song I heard today for the first time:
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Saviour.
Amen
