Random Thoughts

As I sit here, I think about the crazy things that have been happening over the past few weeks.  Besides the bugs, the allergies, the lack of sleep, the stress, the emotional ups n downs, and the crazy schedule I have....I've been doing just great!  *let the reader understand sarcasm*

When you think about what you're going to do with your life, how do you intend to get there?  Do you intend to practice and train on the way?  How will you plan?

I think sometimes I forget that the Lord actually wants me to practice and do some hands-on training on my way to the ministry assignment He has for me...aka my career.  When I was at home, I didn't think the Lord would have me step out in the way He did!  Dance Director (which honestly was a shock to me), Purim Play, Prophetic Dance at Shavuot, Greeting Cards, Prints... a girl in a white outfit standing on a windy beach with a purple piece of cloth, her photographer and her hair/makeup artist under a blanket.  Doesn't seem strange to you?  Well, it does to me!

I really thought the Lord would have me on the sidelines when I got home, and I fully intended to just teach the conference dance and be done for 5 years.  Funny how God works, isn't it?

Then, He brings me back to IHOP for more training, but mostly for more deliverance.  Now, I'm playing keys, singing, and dancing my little heart out for the Lord every day!  Sounds exciting, and it is!  But there's so much more to what's been happening here that I haven't been sharing.  There's so much that He's been teaching me in the times where it's just me and Him.

Since I have started dancing again, I feel so much better.  Even though I suck right now, and have a long way to go, I wouldn't give this time of small beginning up for anything.  Dance brings me so much more joy than any other activity (obviously excluding encountering the Lord in the secret place and elsewhere).  I drove home in my leotard, tights and knitted shorts tonight and thought about how much joy it brings me to have ugly, bruised up feet and hair so tightly pulled back that it gives me a headache while wearing 15 layers (the bottom ones, of course, being my dance clothes...being that dancers are usually half naked when they go to class...*sigh*....modest is hottest! ;D).  Dance is therapy for me.

Just random thoughts tonight...nothing special.  When some things happen, I will post it (probably).  I am waiting for a few things to happen before I post, though.

Prayer Requests:
~ I have been having major sinus issues basically since I got here.  I have taken Claritin  D and am now immune to it, so I can't take it anymore.  It's really bothersome to try to sleep, sing, read, eat, etc. when your sinuses are being ridiculous.  Please don't comment with your idea of what I should do unless I know you REALLY REALLY REALLY well.  I'm not asking for counsel, just prayer.  If everyone commented, I'd be reading a million suggestions a day with everyone getting offended cause I didn't take their idea. A commitment to pray for me is much more appreciated and accepted than anything else.
~ Grace to study, sleep, and eat.  :)
~ Healing for my body so I can dance.  I have a number of injuries and issues in my body that hinder me from dancing well.  I won't put the whole list, but please just pray that my body would actually be healed so I can dance properly.  :)
