Congratulations, It's A...Church!

Well, tonight was the night. The Ring Community Church was launched. It was breathtaking. No really. It was a worship service where at times I had to stop and catch my breath because I was singing my heart out, or all I could do was stand in awe of God's faithfulness to this ministry and His daily involvement in my life. It was in a word, overwhelming. To be a part of something really big. I have no idea how long I'll be a part of it. But I'm thankful He's allowed me this time so far. God is so surprising in the ways He dotes on me in my life. Allowing me to be a small part of this body is so gracious of Him. I sound like a girl in love. And I am, actually. I'm head over heels smitten. And I really wouldn't have it any other way. Every day He teaches me another way that He loves me. My health, my job, my church, walking through the tough stuff, smiling with me when He takes me by surprise. Speaking of smiling, don't tell anyone but I just got through dancing in worship to Him. Yes, I just came from a worship service, but sometimes my heart is still filled and I just can't wait to get by myself to talk to Him or sing to Him or just gaze into the night sky and know that He's right there with me. Sometimes I have the feeling if I just reached out, I could touch Him. Then there are times when I try and teach the angels dance moves. I'm sure the saints sitting around the throne laugh at the spectacle I make of myself. But when I'm filled with His presence, I just can't help but shake it.
