Blessed!

Today was Mother's Day. The second one without MY Mom, yet there was still joy as I spent it with my three kiddos.

We started our day by attending 8:00 worship service at the church that I visited last weekend. I tell ya...that church sure knows how to break this sista down.

Last week I cried like a baby, and today...I cried, but held back because I didn't wanna have a meltdown in front of my kids.

There's so much LOVE at this church, and their musical selections are so moving...giving great honor to God. Mind you...some of the songs we actually sing at MY home church too, but they just ministered to me differently at this church.

This morning, there were great songs and a BEAUTIFULLY POWERFUL praise dance. I mean...WOW!!!

The two women MINISTERED through dance to Shekinah Glory's song "Yes." I would try to describe the experience, but words wouldn't adequately express it. There was such a connection between the two. They were so "in sync."

After the dance, the pastor mentioned how pleased he was by the performance. Turns out that the two dancers were mother and daughter (that broke me down right there), and one of the two doesn't even live in the state. Somewhere along the way they had to have practiced their dance, because it came together in a way that gave God ALL the GLORY.

Once the singing and dancing were over, we moved into the Word and the pastor delivered a great message on motherhood.

All in all...my visits to this church have been so REFRESHING and HEARTWARMING. Although I love my church family and have been a member for over twenty years...my soul has been REPLENISHED by visiting that just wasn't happening at my own church. I love fellowshipping with God's people in NEW places and I believe that He approves of my decision to FINALLY do what He'd been urging me to do for YEARS.

Not sure where I'll end up next...my bowl is still FULL of church names. But I can truly say that my heart was made glad these past two weeks my visiting Glory Christian Fellowship in Carson, CA. Once I've made my rounds to all of the other churches, I will DEFINITELY be stopping by THAT one again.

Now...Let the DIALOGUE begin: Have you ever been in a praise dance ministry? If not, would you like to be? If you'd like to be, what's keeping you from doing it?

Talk to me!

Til next time...
