If only I weren't a baptist ...

I would dance in the aisles!
Pretty much thats been the thought in my head, especially this last Sunday (esp. Sunday night) if you were anywhere near me you could probably see me dancing. It was all I could do to not jump up and down and dance ... :-)
The Lord has been so good lately!!! He has given me a renewed heart for ministry, specifically at Auburn University and a heart the just longs to see the nations bow their knees. A friend gave me a CD last week and I finally put it in and if you see my driving around town I am singing at the top of my lungs ... anyways one of the songs says "How can hearts not love your name, and how can souls not sing your praise?" I truly have wondered that the last few days!! How can they hear your name and reject it? How can their inmost beings not just be consumed with the praise of the Lord?
This weekend I was able to go to "Bodies - the Exhibition" in Atlanta, which was by far the coolest thing I have seen. It was dead bodies, I know gross, that they have displayed so that you can see how the body really works. LITERALLY everything about us screams "I am fearfully and wonderfully made." I was blown away and I have had the biologies, the anatomies, the physiology classes but to see REAL human bodies ... AMAZING!! The Lord has wired our bodies to PRAISE HIM so when we don't I am convinced we are going against what is best for our bodies! :-)

Psalm 103:1-5

"Praise the Lord, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his Holy name. Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits- who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle is."
