So I have not written a blog in quite some time. I have truly been asking the Lord to give me his download on what he wants me to say. Have you ever felt like you are in a position where you have to make a crazy decision. A decision that is not of the "norm". You try to "plan", "prep" and "prepare" for what lies ahead. However, sometimes you feel as though it is just not happening...I have come to the realization that sometimes God requires us to have "CRAZY FAITH". Faith that is unshakable. Faith that is not based on the happenings or what we see. Sometimes God will speak through you through many different avenues, but when they all connect and confirm each others word, you just know that he is the one speaking. Sometimes he will PURPOSELY allow what we might call a difficult situation to be placed before you in order to "push" you to take that "step" that you "have been meaning to take". Some of the boulders that seem to be thrown at you are "intentional". We need to be tested in order to be called "good and faithful servants". We say we believe God and we trust him. But do we trust his timing? Sometimes the thing that seems to be "your source" really is not. If God says jump, we don't even need to ask how high? We need to just jump. Truth be told, fear is the only thing that really hinders us from receiving all that God has in store for us. Are you tired of trying it your way? I know I am~~

Just Dance!
So I have been really contemplating on "dancing" and the reason why people are so "afraid" to dance. Have you ever noticed that at some weddings people are ashamed to dance (sometimes it's even the bride or groom)? Or at an event, it always takes a while before someone starts dancing, but when one person starts, it's like a wild fire. Ever wonder why? What is dancing? According to the online dictionary, dancing is to move rhythmically usually to music, using prescribed or improvised steps and gestures or to leap or skip about excitedly. So why is it that we are intimidated to dance? When you dance, you are able to release different emotions. When you hear a "beat" it infuses something within you, yet many times we hold back. I think that we are deceived or tricked into focusing too much on what other peoples opinion of us are, rather than fully experiencing the true joys that lies on the inside of us. Sometimes when you are going through a difficult time, you need to just dance and release. Whether you have music or not, turn up the excitement that lies within and express yourself. I truly believe that if we function in the true liberty that we possess in God, we would live a much more happy and fulfilled life. So when you feel heartache, when you feel pain, when you're sad, alone or afraid, just dance!!!
