A Time for Joy, A Time for Mourning

Amazing

I have to say this, for the record: God is absolutely, positively, AMAZING!! The music He wrote through other people has really touched me. It seems that every time I turn on some music, either on the radio or CD, it's exactly what I need for that day. Like the day I decided to listen to Mimi's Big Daddy Weave One and Only CD and the fifth song (it's always 5) just hit me and spoke volumes to me! Here are the lyrics to that song: http://www.christianrocklyrics.com/bigdaddyweave/beinginlovewithyou.php

I have been making it a point to look on the positive side of life and not complain about the crap that happens. I hope that I have been doing well in that, because it is sooo stinking hard to sometimes. (I'm not complaining here) For the last couple of days I have just been feeling down. Not about anything in particular, it's just all the little things added up. I just felt bound by whatever and this morining I stuck in WOW 2001. The second song was just like WOW!! (pun intended :) It is "Shackles" by Mary Mary. I know that song as played for a long time, but it really hit me this morning. I wonder how many people have actually listened to and read the lyrics. They talk about exactly what I want: Freedom in Christ! (For those who would like to refresh their memory on the song: http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/marymary/shacklespraiseyou.html

I have the freedom to be who God created me to be!! He has given me life and I need to praise Him. I can dance for Him without worrying about what the people around me are thinking. I have been scared to dance in Church, because I don't want them to call me up front to dance. My dance is for my God, not for the congregation. It is very hard to continue worship when I know that people are watching me. It also inturrups their worship. (Side note: I love this CD! I have not listened to it in a while.) But that does not matter, as long as my worship is pure and true. It is only for Him, not any one else. He gave me the ability to dance and I will give it back to Him!!!
