While I Am Still Mighty To Dance.



Not Thursday but this is a BBT post.

For those who don't know what my BBT is all about.. Click Here.
Every Thursday I debug my brain from a lot of thoughts I came up with the whole week. :)

I have lots of things to blog about, also some important changes in my life lately. However with all the things I am blessed with today, I am excited that i finally have learned to DANCE. :)

I am currently reading a book titled Facing Your Giants. And in one of it's chapters; DISTANT DEITY, Max Lucado illustrated how God comes to in His own terms. He (Max) explained that when David experienced the presence of God, He danced with all his might.

14 David, wearing a linen ephod, danced before the LORD with all his might
2 Samuel 6:14

David danced like a kid whenever He experience the presence of His father (God). And I believe, any human father would dance too as he see his children welcome him with all their twirling and dancing, giving all their might. :)

Dancing is one thing i never learned. One I am not passionate with. I feel embarrassed whenever there's a need to dance. And I feel unsure for myself. This is probably one the reasons why I questioned David's way of presenting himself before God.

I grew up as someone who always doubt. I always need assurance. I always feel the need to know how well I am doing and how well people see me.

But this passage, brings me back to some truths that God is teaching me for the past 23 years of my life.

First-- that my relationship with God determines my confidence in Him.

Second -- that no matter how i try to tell myself that I am just another face in the crowd, God sees me and He dances with me whether I do a very graceful leap or struggle with my inept steps.

This way, I enjoy dancing while I am still mighty to dance!!

Until my next BBT. :)

Yearn: For the Lover of my Soul.

I love listening to this song.. I love the idea how One Perfect Being could love an imperfect person like me.

I love you BEST!

Yearn

Holy design
This place in time
That I might seek and find my God, my God

Lord, I wanna yearn for You
I wanna burn with passion over You
Only You
Lord, I wanna yearn for You
I wanna burn with passion over You
Only You
Lord, I wanna yearn

Your joy is mine
Yet why am I fine
With all my singing and bringing grain

In light of Him

Oh you give life and breath
Through Him You give all things
In Him we live and move
That's why I sing
