Water and Breath

Seriously, how do they expect me to sit in a cubicle in a quiet office after that!? I'm so glad that I didn't skip chapel today. It was the drink of clear, crisp, spring water that my soul needed! Not many people I know grew up engaging in worship they way I did. I was on a dance "team" where we danced to worship in church every once in a while. I grew up being able to dance behind the back row just jumping and spinning and waving my arms around. I don't feel like I am quite invited to do that here at APU, so I take it where I can get it. Today I got it :) Now, I danced throughout worship....and I danced a LOT! I could feel the eyes on me. "What the heck does that girl think she is doing with her hips in church???" I'm moving them, people. I'm swaying and popping and dancin' like a lot of white girls don't dance. Not sayin' I'm good at it but I do it anyway. This is church....where people meet God, praise God, give themselves to God. God made me. He made my body. He made it not to just stand there and sing....He made it to MOVE! So, maybe some think that I move too scandalously for chapel. I say, "To each his own." This is how I praise my God because this is how He made me. So, enjoy your quiet time and standing their prayin' with Jesus, seriously. But I'm gonna catch my breath after dancing around that aisle for an hour... ;)
