Just Because

I love God with all my heart! And I love worship with Him. I have encountered lots of people here recently that don't understand the worship that I do. They think its too extravagant or unnecessary and that's ok. I remember being there at one time. I remember thinking that its not really necessary to raise one's hand, or dance, or sing at the top of my lungs. But then I had an encounter with this God would changed my life. November 12, 1999, I gave my life to Him. Completely! I had always believed in Him but there was a hunger for more, for something deeper. I was 17 when I gave my life to Him. And 11 years later, not one single day, hour, minute, or second do I regret it! He became a father I had never really encountered...He healed wounds that had been so deep, I wasn't sure they could be...He showed me a love that I had never experienced...He gave me a life full of joy, peace, security, happiness, forgiveness...and so much more. Kim Walker sings it best in "I have found."

The lyrics...
I have found a peace that plows on through the storm.
I have found a joy that jumps over sadness.
I have found a love that lights up every room.
I have found, I've found You!

Chorus:
You are all I want, You are all I need,
Everything my heart could hope for.
We are longing for, the Glory of the Lord,
Cause we know there's so much more!

Verse 2:
I have found a trust that teaches how to rest.
I have found a grace that guides me by the hand.
I have found a strength that stands like a mountain.
And I have found, I've found You!


When I found the Lord and began a real and true relationship with Him, I found life! So when I worship, I want Him to know how much I love Him. Not saying that this is only way to worship and show Him that I love Him but its the way I choose. If I can cheer on Alabama with jumping, yelling and cheering...God is worth so much more! So I raise my hands as a sign of surrender to Him...that during the time of worship I give my all to Him for Him to have His way. I have just recently felt the release to dance and jump(small jump...lol). I enjoy the freedom to Love Him! I love to Love Him and tell Him how awesome He is. I really enjoy those moments when the music is slow and we dance...yep we dance. I can feel Him there with me and we just dance. In my visions, its like ball room dancing and I am doing all the talking...telling Him how awesome He is and how much I love Him! Sometimes I cry at just the though of how much He loves me and that He desires me! I just love to be in His presence!!!

I love Him Just because! Just because He is God almighty! He is my provider, my comforter, my healer, my best friend, my Father who never leaves me, He is God! I love His presence and His love for me. I am not worthy but to Him...I am worth it all...He gave His life for me! Just because...just because He loves me!
