The tight feeling became an overwhelming sensation in her throat as she attempted to hold back the tears that had been building up all day. The idea of weakness ran through her mind as she stood quietly in the audience, the music began right on time and she couldn’t get past the feeling of wanting to escape from this moment. It was like a switch, once the orchestrated noises of worship music began to resound in the room she felt a rush of hidden emotion burst out uncontrollably. Her attempts to hide her face were not successful in hiding how her heart hurt before her heavenly father. Its funny how we get so caught up in every moment of this life that we actually think that we can hide what is going on inside of us, especially before our God. I can’t believe sometimes how overwhelmed I am with His presence and yet how I struggle to feel Him right next to me. Our father keeps the mystery in this relationship, thats for sure. Its amazing, just growing in Him and finally I have stopped forming my identity in all of the things that have taken that important role in my life. I can’t imagine life without His peace, I will take a peace that surpasses all understanding any day over the temporary moments. I will take the struggle day after day and not knowing what the next step is until it is revealed. I have always been a day dreamer and sometimes I get so wrapped up in these stories and illusions of how I wish things could work out and as I am engulged in these moments I fail to realize how much  BIGGER and BETTER His plans are. I can’t even day dream those… thats all I can say.

My mind is to small to conceptualize what He is doing and what He will do. Just looking outside at this moment and listening to people praise His name I am overwhelmed at how magnificent and beautiful He designed every little aspect of this life that we see. My visual senses become so heightened when in that moment He receives the glory, my heart pounds harder as I hear songs of how great our Father is. I would shout at the top of my lungs this very moment how AWESOME IS OUR God if my grandfather wasn’t asleep on the couch! It blows my mind that some people do not see, know, or realize this but then again, it took me a while to open up my eyes and my heart to Him. So I just won’t have it that there are people out there who do not know, I am so excited to show our Father’s love to people who need it and desire it without realizing it. I want their lives to be changed. We all know how much our Father wants His children, here it is, his purpose and will being carried out. So stoked that all of us get the chance to really come together and be the body of Christ. We just won’t ever be the same and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
