I know

I know what it is like to break down before the Lord in pain and agony but also in joy. I know exactly the feeling that builds up within you and makes you feel like at any second your chest might burst open, a feeling that leaves you barely any room to breathe, and pushes at every corner of you until the pressure makes tears come out of your eyes ( Read more... )

AMEN.

When Bill was talking tonight about how we don't break down in front of him or really worship him and take in the words of the songs and challanging us to get closer with him and all of that, I was thinking about how I really try to as much as I can. I feel like I have a pretty good relationship with him and it's getting stronger each day.

I'm glad it sounds like you are in that place too.

And still, I can't thank you enough for bringing me to God and to Faith Church. I am so grateful. <3 love ya babe!

I didn't hear him say that- weird. But I mean, I believe you, it sounds like something he would say. Hah.

I agree to some extent, but also, if I felt like I needed to put my hands up or fall to my knees in order to worship, I would. I feel like, for me, worship is a personal thing, and that's usually why I like to stand near the back of the room. I'm not all into dancing, although it's different for other poeple, of course. Just because I don't show it- my heart is still worshipping and that is ALL that matters.

You're welcome, dear.

I know. he didnt say you had to dance to worship, he just said we need to get closer with God and break down in front of him and really surrender ourselves to him. (my point was that I think BIll underestimates how seriously teenagers are able to worship, because I think I DO try to give myself to the Lord and it looks as if you and many others do the same.)
I agree it's a very personal thing and I worship quietly and more seriously when I'm alone, but when there's music I don't see why I can't dance and have fun with people who share my love for God and one other. That's just what I do, and I'm not saying anything against the way you worship. It really is a relationship and different for everyone. All that matters is how much you love God. =)

Yeah, exactly.
