I used to only think I could feel the Holy Spirit when I was crying! I thought me being moved to tears during worship was how I knew Jesus was in the room. Lately, I haven’t been experiencing those emotions. I thought that I’ve been going through a dry period by not being able to feel his presence. But boy, I was wrong. Jesus is moving through ALL my emotions. I haven’t been crying during worship, I’ve been experiencing raw JOY! I have the urge to stand up and dance! I’ve realized my joy comes from Jesus. 

i used to feel shy during worship. I would stand in the back, sing quietly, and maybe occasionally open my palms. But now, I am up front, jumping and belting for Jesus. When I worship, I’m spending time with Jesus. It used to just be a thing you do at church, but now it’s a conversation between me and my Holy Father. 

“But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them sing joyful praises forever. Spread your protection over them, that all who love your name may Be filled with joy.” 

Psalm 5:11 

Wishing y’all joy and sunshine,
