I know many are concerned for me because of my last post. Still, don't fret too much, I'm fine and it'll be okay, God has me, and because of this, I am not in the least afraid.
Sunday night I did some dancing in my room that would have been pretty...well ridiculous looking. It was amazing, God and I had a good time. And I am sure glad nobody else could see me..for so many reasons. It has been a while since I danced by myself in my room (as opposed to a group setting where we are learning/creating a dance). It was good fun and raw worship, no rules to follow, because nobody would judge me...well except God, but He is different.
I read a Psalm this evening, Psalm 138 to be exact. It is encouragement. David is calling out to God in thanksgiving; thanking God for not just giving him strength but being his strength. It may not hold the meaning for you that it holds for me right now. But maybe it will help you understand; I could have written this Psalm, I really feel like I did.
1 I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart;
before the "gods" I will sing your praise.
2 I will bow down toward your holy temple
and will praise your name
for your love and your faithfulness,
for you have exalted above all things
your name and your word.
3 When I called, you answered me;
you made me bold and stouthearted.
4 May all the kings of the earth praise you, O LORD,
when they hear the words of your mouth.
5 May they sing of the ways of the LORD,
for the glory of the LORD is great.
6 Though the LORD is on high, he looks upon the lowly,
but the proud he knows from afar.
7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
you preserve my life;
you stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes,
with your right hand you save me.
8 The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me;
your love, O LORD, endures forever—
do not abandon the works of your hands.

Hey Brooke!
This has nothing to do with your blog, but I wanted to comment on your mom's blog, but can't! She has it set to only allow blogspot bloggers. :-(
There's a sign at the nearby McDonalds that reads "STOP CHILDREN PLAYING". :-)
Also, I dance when I'm alone sometimes, too. God is probably the only one who doesn't laugh at my dancing. Better yet, it pleases Him! Go figure!
Don't you just love how alive the Bible is? That the same words speak to us as they spoke to generations who have gone before us.
Man that living word is sweet stuff. God knew what he was doing.
Mama Lou, i am chaning my mom's prefile so that you can comment on her stuff.
