But while we were in Abilene I got to go to Beltway Park for church service on Sunday. One of the things I miss most about Abilene, with exception to my family is definitely Beltway.
The feeling of being in there, praising God with so many believers was absolutely refreshing to me.
I literally felt like I could breathe easier in there, like my stress was lifted for an hour.
I haven't found a church home here in Amarillo that gives me that same feeling but after this weekend I have been reconvicted of my NEED for that feeling.
We NEED To be surrounded by fellow believers, to feel encouraged and grounded in our convictions, to be reminded of the real purpose of this world, to be reminded that there is someone far greater and more powerful than anything we could encounter here on earth.
One of the best parts of church on Sunday was watching my precious cousin Kelsey. She along with my aunt tammy were there with my mom, drew and I.
I got to watching Kelsey during the worship... watching her carefully raise her hands to the roof, watching her gently shut her eyes to embrace the moment, watching the spirit move her...
At one point I looked over at Kelsey and she was doing a very intricate hand movement... she kept twisting and turning her fingers and hands together, it reminded me of a dance from india. It was so lovely to watch.
Shen then started to shake her wrist around, she had a jingly bracelet on, she kept looking down at her wrist moving and I couldn't tell if she was suprised by it or not. She seemed entranced and unable to contain her movements.
I loved watching her, she was so graceful, so into the moment... I was reminded of God's message to us to believe like a child.
Kelsey was so pure in her love and passion for the Lord on Sunday. I want to feel that way everyday!
