Passion

Whew! I made it through concert season at Encore Centre for Dance! It was absolutely amazing. Afterwards I went out with a few of my students and there families and I asked the question "what was your favorite part of the concert?" Naturally the responses were what their favorite dances were. After a while one of the moms asked me what my favorite part was and I smiled and said, "Watching my kids". I never thought that I would receive so much joy watching my students whom I have developed great relationships with blossom and go on that stage and show the audience who they are REALLY dancing for. They worked so hard all year and it all came together. If there is one thing that I know about my students it is that they have fun in my classes and we never stop talking about the true meaning behind why we dance and who we dance for. Jesus is the reason for all seasons of life that we go through. I'm having a hard time just holding it all together while writing this post. We have a Responsibility to teach our Children about the goodness and awesomeness of Jesus Christ so that they can grow up and share with others what we have passed down. We are helping expand the kingdom of God. I can walk away this year knowing that my kids know who Jesus is and most of them are on a special mission to tell another child about Him. Jesus is off the hook! hehe! Had to throw some slang in here somewhere. This is what The M.I.C.A.H. Project is all about. Helping to transform the hearts and minds of children, through dance and for Christ. For those parents who have visited this blog and who have given me the opportunity to teach your children, thank you for the privilege and may God continue to bless you.

Purpose

So, I was listening to a song on Kirk Franklin's latest album called The Last Jesus and the words to this song are so incredibly strong.
Here are some of the lyrics:

"If I say I love Jesus , but you can't see my Jesus, my words are empty if they can't see Jesus in me. No more excuses! I give myself away because I may be the only Jesus they see. If we say we love Jesus, but they can't see our Jesus, tell me what's the use if they can't see Jesus in you and me. No more excuses! We give it all away, because we may be the only Jesus they see. If I am Your hands and Your feet and if Your Church is built inside of me, where did we go wrong? We've been here too long, we can't see Your face anymore, it's not the same anymore. Have mercy on us Jesus, please forgive us Jesus, I've lost my Purpose if they can't see You in me, see I've learned to hope and I change it all today. Because I may be the only Jesus they see."

You may be asking yourself "What is my purpose?" God has given me a specific purpose in teaching children how to glorify Him through movement, but I know that every follower of Jesus has one common purpose and that is to spread the Gospel of Jesus to everyone that we run into. Whether it be to pull out the scriptures and explain the plan of salvation or just by exemplifying the fruits of the spirit through our actions. As believers we should be able to recognize each other, and non believers should be drawn to Jesus shining through us. When you look in the mirror and examine your walk, can you see Jesus? If you can't then a non- believer surely wont. No more excuses! Be thankful that we serve a God who's Grace and Mercy shines on us everyday. He is Love. If you feel the Lord is calling you to do more, I encourage you to "listen and obey". Fulfill you're Purpose.
