"Because it begins with a personal God, Christianity provides a consistent, unified worldview that holds true both in the natural realm and in the moral, spiritual realm."
-Nancy Pearcey
THE CENTER
Everything we do, we do in relationship to God. We use his good gifts wisely or carelessly. We love our fellow humans, made in his image, or we use them for our own ends. We take care of his creation and follow his principles, or we choose to disregard his leading.
God is not just for Sunday mornings; he is the center of our lives. He is the reason we exist and the One who tells us how we were made, how we should live.
With God as the center, everything else in life falls into place. He provides us consistent, unified world-view that makes sense in our physical lives. Nothing is left out. God has the whole package covered. When we make him and his Word our center and focus, he will provide every answer we need.
Read Colossians 1:15-16
GOD, MAY I LIVE TODAY WITH YOU AS THE CENTER OF EVERYTHING.

I just love this passage! It makes me realize just how much I really do need Him as my center of my life! How am I going to use the gifts God has given me? Am I going to dance just in what I know, in my little box I have created from past experiences...OR, am I going to push past the box!? Do I want to reach the fullest potential in my giftings? Or be stuck in familiarity? I know what I want! I want to push past the barriers I have created! I want to reach so far outside of the box that the only way I could have ever reached that level of worship and dancing is with God providing the way! Not just with dancing and worship, but with all areas of my walk with God!
I love how it also speaks about God isn't just for Sunday mornings during service. Sooooo many people live their lives like God is just for Sunday service. The only day they pray and truly worship Him is during service, then the rest of the week doesn't count!?! I know I need God EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK! I want, yearn for that time with Him every day. He is the one who created me, so why don't I make that attempt to spend more time with Him?

7 Day Diva Detox Update
WOW that detox is hard!!! They say that you feel rejuvenated and refreshed, better looking skin etc...But all I have felt this week was exhaustion, tired, achy etc... I called it quits on Thursday when my Husband came home from work, it was a pizza with sprite floats kinda night! So amazing! Which kinda worries me for the 21 day Daniel Fast coming up tomorrow night! Since our Pastor wants us to do the strict Fast...No sugar, No bread, No meat, can make it a little difficult! Strict veggies/fruit/greens/water. But we can modify with oats and brown rice, which is what I will be doing! I am expecting soo many things to happen for this fast! Not just for myself/husband/family but for my church family as well! Hallelujah! SOOOO EXCITED!

Dance, Dance!!!
As some of you know, and no surprise to this...I LOVE TO DANCE!!! And am working on some pretty awesome pieces right now!!! There's "I need you" we are doing in the Expressive Dance Ministry at Radiant Life Church, and then a special dance being choreographed by a favorite of mine Megan to a song from Linkin Park for a service at the end of the month. It's going to be so amazing! So powerful!
One area that I've really asked God to expand me in is my choreography, more creativity! I've heard so many good songs in the past few months that would be amazing dances, but am always held up with being more creative and different! One song I heard today that really moved me and I would LOVE to do is "Thief" by Third Day. Ah, so awesome! I see so many good ideas for it! Just putting it into motion is the issue! That is definitely one breakthrough I would love during this fast starting tomorrow night! I would love to go back to school and be resume my professional training for dancing! Getting my degree so one day I could really teach it with good technique and all! lol...one day!

Have a blessed night!!!!!
