The Dance

A couple of Sunday's ago we were all setting up for the morning service. While we were busy getting everything ready, Shelby climbed on stage and began dancing to the music that was playing in the background. I'm not sure if anyone really noticed what she was doing because we were all very busy getting ready. I paused and quickly pulled out my phone because I wanted to record the moment. As Shelby danced, there was something very moving happening for me. I don't think that it was just a daddy who loves to see his daughter dance. As she danced, while all of the commotion and distraction was going on, I was thinking about how the Holy Spirit is like that. Life hurries along: places to go, people to see, things to get done, etc. meanwhile, the whole time the Holy Spirit is working in the background, beautifully scripting "the dance".

Roll with it

This morning at The Branches Community Church we ran into a little snag. The auditorium where we meet had been set up with 500 chairs for graduation events. We were told that the chairs had to stay up and couldn't be moved... :(

What to do? What to do? Well we made the best of it and set up on the stage. I think the stage worked really well. It really has the feel that we are looking for anyway. So what looked to be negative, really turned out to be a blessing. :) I wish I had a photo of what it looked like all set up... maybe next week.
