Tabernacles

Colorful silk blillows gracefully in the air.
Dancers move with grace and poise.
Every movement and expression speaks of worship to G-d Most High.

My heart yearns to dance before my King. Tabernacles is my favorite thing.

Not sure why, but I can't stop rhyming. My thoughts have been coming in verse today. The only way to make any sense of the chaos of my heart just now.

Anyway, Feast of Tabernacles is my favorite season. A major celebration; worship to the King of Ages.
The dancers have become my family. Bound together with cords of love that cannot be broken. I miss them already. and I haven't even left yet!
I'm heart broken that I cannot participate this year or even sit in the audience.
The last two years of doing this has changed my life. I've been ruined for the ordinary. I NEED to dance!
This is where I belong; with these people, Feast of Tabernacles, dancing unto ADONAI.
But I'm moving to Kansas.... Oh, G-d, what is your plan for me in this??

Journal

Smooth blank pages long rejected.
Ink that used to ebb and flow.
Thoughts that bid me to record them.
In the secrecy of solitude.
An art I used to take for granted.
It's time to dust off the cobwebs.
My journal beckons me.

Grant me Peace

Things aren't always as they seem.
Disappointed hopes and dreams.
New beginnings.
G-d's saving grace.
Hard to leave this time and place.
By His strength I will prevail.
He will keep me in perfect peace.
Safe in the arms of the One
Whose love will never let me go.

I Like to Sing

This song was on replay in my head last night.

"Awaken my heart,
awaken my soul.
Awaken your power
and take control.
Awaken the passion
to live for you, LORD.
Awaken me."
-Awaken by Natalie Grant

And this song has been perpetually on my heart, just beneath the surface. It's always one of the first to come to mind.

"I want something real, something raw
Not tainted, jaded by this world.
Cause I’m scared, really scared that something’s going down,
And the life that I’ve been clinging to won’t make it
Won’t make it through the storm.
I’ve been shaken deep inside, although my skin may well hide it.
My possessions won’t save me; my beauty means nothing in eternity.
This world’s been sleepwalking off a cliff, but my eyes have been opened
My eyes have been opened to this pleasurable exterior, it’s only skin deep
And it’s terror, it’s terror that lies underneath.
So wake up, wake up, O my soul
It’s a new revelation; wake up, wake up, O my soul
Where is your eternal destination? Wake up, wake up, O my soul
(Turn from your path of destruction; wake up, wake up, O my soul)
It’s a new revelation; wake up, wake up, O my soul
The time has come to turn, to turn, to turn to the Lord your God."
-Sleepwalking by Laura Hackett

Wake me up. Wake me up. I don't want to be sleeping when you're coming. Wake me up. Wake me up. I don't want to be lying down in the final hour. Wake me up.

My heart will sing no other name- Yeshua, Yeshua!

Sing sing sing and make music with the heavens.

Baruch ata ADONAI Eloheinu Melech HaOlam.

Our G-d is greater, our G-d is stronger. G-d, you are higher than any other. Our G-d is healer, awesome in power. Our G-d, our G-d.

Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh

Never once did we ever walk alone.
Never once did you leave us on our own.
You are faithful, G-d,
You are faithful.
