Pure Joy.

Today was my first full day back in Ruston.

And what a day it has been!

It began with church.

Pure Joy.

Crossroads is a body of believers unlike any other.

The commitment to preach unaltered, unfiltered, uncut gospel is astounding.

I love it.

I feel so loved and cared for there, and I don't even know most of the people that go there. 

Worship there is always a TREAT.

They do an excellent job of making me want to keep singing.

I never want to stop singing and dancing for my Lord.

I feel sorry for the folks sitting next to me cause I sing LOUD and BAD. 

But ya know what?

I sing PROUD.

I am worshiping my King. 

I am worshiping my Creator.

I am worshiping I AM.

I will NOT hold back. 

I'm giving it all I've got.

And if all I've got is super loud and off key then that's what He's getting.

And the best part is...HE LOVES IT.

My atrocious singing is beautiful in His ears.

So guys I'm sorry if I make your ears bleed, but I'm not singing for you.

Also typically when I worship, I can't just stand still.

I've got to move around.

I get a little groove going and I just go.

I figure HEY if King David can dance for the Lord then so can I.

So, I'm going to dance. 

If I bump into you, so sorry, but I can't help it.

I can't just stand there.

I gotta groove fer da Laurd. 

I would also like to share something that was shown to me today.

As I was dancing and singing and smiling I was just overwhelmed by the Lord's Spirit.

I felt like I could hardly stand. 

He was that overwhelming.

It was the WORLD'S GREATEST FEELING.

I never wanted that moment to end.

In that amazing moment I realized something...

...if the Lord is this incredible and completely overwhelming...

...how can I ever think that anything I am dealing with could even phase me?

HE IS THIS GREAT.

How could anything seem that bad, when I have Him?
