singing in front of people is a fear i had.
dancing and going nutso for Jesus during worship services was another fear i had.

these fears were rooted solely in my hope to be loved and accepted by the world, because i thought that could be enough.
not Christ.

He called me out on this fear and lie at Training Camp during one of the evening services, and hit me like a ton of bricks. 
I realized that I was not sold out living for Him–there were still areas of my life that I had yet to give over (fear of being accepted, for one), and it was making itself known through my lack of letting loose during worship.
 
Later that night, His burning passion exploded in my heart. His Truths rained down on my soul so hard it washed my foundations of those fears away:
 
"You are a daughter of the Most High"
"The earth is not your home"
"You have nothing to lose in this life, because You have ALL of Me to gain."
(and so so much more)

…aaaand that was that!
 

I began to let people hear me sing and play my mandolin–because I was playing for Jesus.
I started to dance like a down right crazy person when worshipping–because I was dancing for Jesus.

HE FREED ME FROM MYSELF:
my worry, my fears, the lies I belived.

I'VE GOT NOTHING TO LOSE THROUGH LOSING IT ALL!
JUST MORE OF HIM TO GAIN!!

ergo–Jesus prompted me to make this video…
 

me: "That's taking things WAY too far Man.. I'll sing for you during worship–along with everyone else.. but posting a video–BY MYSELF, ALONE? Are you for serious?"

Jesus: "Yep. Let go of anything and everything, but Me."

 me: "It gives me hives just thinking about it."

Jesus: "You need only to sing to ME, Cheyanne. Anything that comes out of your mouth that's sang for Me is a beautiful melody to my ears."

me: "You're good at winning arguments.. what song?"

Jesus: "I want you to sing to Me, Josh Garrels–Million Miles."

me: "But that's one of my wedding songs… it's not a 'worship' song. Why on earth would You want that one?"

Jesus: "Yes it is a wedding song, it's OUR wedding song. I sing this over you all the time, and want you to sing it back to Me and even sing it over others as a reminder of who I am. I'm passionately pursuing you, want only what's best for you and I never want you to forget that."
 

Welp, I was sold.
