Saturday I saw the Vow with one of my Pickens friends Ashton and it was so fun to hang out with her! Then Saturday night a group of us went to The Blind Horse in Greenville and it was so much fun. The Blind Horse is hilarious because everyone is line dancing and if you don't know the dances people get so mad and frustrated with you. Obviously I'm a pro line dancer and know every line dance so I just joined right on in...[ haha thats a joke I joined on in but I definitely made a fool of myself because eventually I just started making things up:) or this guy tried to take us to the side of the dance floor and teach us] Anywayyyyyys seriously so fun and if you missed out you have to go next time. PLUS I am so proud of myself for not being a grandma this weekend and staying up later than 12 both days...yes i know quite an accomplishment.
That leaves Sunday. I was trying to decide where to go to church either Newspring, Grace, or DCF because I really like aspects of all three. Newspring I really like the teaching, Grace I love the way the pastor's speak directly from the Bible verse by verse, and DCF I really love the praise and worship. Well for some reason this Sunday I really felt like I just needed to praise. So, I went to DCF and it was EXACTLY what I needed. There is just something about praising our God and worshiping with a group of people that can fill your spirit. My heart seems to soar and seems to just feel so uplifted and full whenever there is praise. I typed in "praise" on Biblegateway.com and just for the word "praise" not in any other form but "praise" shows up 363 times! Obviously praise is such a great part of our walk and relationship with God. It's something we should constantly do and should want to do all the time. Another praise was there were children who were dedicated to the church and my heart was singing for them. Its so amazing to see two beautiful children be dedicated to Christ and their families support them and want nothing more than to have them grow in the Lord's love. My prayer for my family is that we can always pray together and that we can seek the Lord together it was so encouraging to see these families love their children and love them well. It made me think of my family and how I have grown up in such a loving and God fearing family. My parents have loved me and loved me well and although I don't remember it I know when I was dedicated to Christ when I was a baby that was their first step and raising me and helping me in my relationship with Christ....I digress....We also had a time of prayer for others around us and seriously like I've said before the Holy Spirit absolutely amazes me. In my group I knew one person and the other 5 people I had never met in my life but the prayers that were said came from our spirit and it was as if we all knew each other and what we all needed to be prayed over. It just amazes me that with our spirit we know exactly what to say. There was also a time of sharing and this beautiful elderly woman stood up and talked about how she just felt the lord at DCF that morning and how evident it was that he was there... and yall this woman just glowed- her spirit was shining in her and it was so amazing to see and hear her words. I PRAY that I can aspire to be like that woman throughout my life. It's also wonderful that the Holy Spirit moved Turner at the end to sing Jesus Culture's song Come Away With Me. I am in love with this song and it was exactly what my spirit needed. God has a plan and no matter what is holding you back in the world let go of those chains and live in God's freedom because it's going to be wild and it's going to be great.
Psalm 30:12
that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent. LORD my God, I will praise you forever.
With ALL my love- Cam
