When Heaven Felt Close


It was a worshipful night, and I felt privileged to simply watch and join in. There was a stillness over the room, the kind that only settles when hearts turn toward the Lord. The worship team was preparing a new song for Sunday, and as they practiced, a calmness—almost a holy hush—filled the space.

The talent in the room was undeniable, but the presence of the Lord was felt even more. It was loud but not dramatic. It was quiet, steady, and peaceful—like God was reminding us that He often moves most deeply in the gentle moments.

I was tired that night, so instead of pushing myself, I just sat and rested in the seeking moment. And even that felt like worship.

Sometimes worship looks like singing loudly.
Sometimes it looks like raising your hands and dancing and even screaming or crying or laying on the floor.  
And sometimes it simply looks like sitting still and letting your soul breathe again.

Scriptures that came to mind:

“Be still, and know that I am God.”
Psalm 46:10

“In quietness and trust shall be your strength.”
Isaiah 30:15

“My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
Exodus 33:14

As the music floated through the room, it felt like God was ministering gently—not through words, not through movement, but through stillness. I was reminded that you don’t have to be strong to encounter Him. You don’t even have to be energetic. You just have to show up with an open heart.

It was a night I needed more than I realized… A night where heaven felt close, where worship felt effortless, and where His presence wrapped itself around the quiet places of my soul.

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

  Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...

A big thank you to Andy who sent me some amazing cookies to try to conduct my review.  :)  All opinions expressed are 100 % mine and I was not paid for this review.   About Sweet Andy's Cookies: The “Thank You” Cookie In 2009, Andrew (Sweet Andy) found himself in a position like so many others at that time in our past; the economy was quickly spiraling downward and he had left his job in the financial services industry. Although Andy had an MBA in Banking and Finance and had even written a book entitled, “A Guide to Taking Control of Your Investments”, he found himself to be disenchanted with the financial industry and left to pursue “other work.”  The “other work” that Andrew pursued was with the Church and did not provide financial support for the family.  During this time Andy and his wife, Lissa, struggled to find other forms of income.
