Great Music/Great Message

So I heard this song driving early one morning between Wilmington and school and it just clicked. Yes, this is how my relationship w/ Jesus should be. I get all head over feet over crushes why am I not like that w/ my Savior? Why do I get wrapped up in the rules? As Pastor Jeff @ Liefpoint said today: God's laws & rules are not the condition of His love for us, but rather a confirmation of His love". It's an honor thing. Anywhoo...great sermon today check it out @ lifepointnow.com but here is the awesome song, check it out too!

Jason Gray - More Like Falling in Love From the album Everything Sad Is Coming Untrue
Give me rules
I will break them
Give me lines
I will cross them
I need more than a truth to believe
I need a truth that lives, moves, and breathes
To sweep me off my feet It ought to be
More like falling in love
Than something to believe in
More like losing my heart
Than giving my allegiance
Caught up, called out
Come take a look at me now
It's like I'm falling, oh
It's like I'm falling in love
Give me words
I'll misuse them
Obligations
I'll misplace them 'Cause all religion ever made of me
Was just a sinner with a stone tied to my feet
It never set me free
It's gotta be
More like falling in love
Than something to believe in
More like losing my heart
Than giving my allegiance
Caught up, called out
Come take a look at me now
It's like I'm falling, oh
It's like I'm falling in love
It's like I'm falling in love, love, love
Deeper and deeper
It was love that made
Me a believer
In more than a name, a faith, a creed
Falling in love with Jesus brought the change in me
It's gotta be
More like falling in love
Than something to believe in
More like losing my heart
Than giving my allegiance
Caught up, called out
Come take a look at me now
It's like I'm falling, oh
It's like I'm falling in love
It's gotta be
More like falling in love
Than something to believe in
More like losing my heart
Than giving my allegiance
Caught up, called out
Come take a look at me now
It's like I'm falling, oh
It's like I'm falling in love
It's like I'm falling, oh
I'm falling in falling
It's like I'm falling

GOD IS BIG 2: PRAYERS ARE BEING ANSWERED!

"GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME EVEN WHEN IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE IT"
My last post was my "I'm Done!!!!" rant. Well the beginning of this week did not get better and it's funny many times I say I'm done, yet still try to take on my burdens and stress. Like I leave it to God, but am worried to truly feel free so I pick it all up again at the end of my prayer time. A conference I went to explained like extra weight in a backpack while trying to run a marathon. I still have the stone the speaker used as example to help me remember this lesson, its on my bookshelf and I saw it but didn't stop to go UNLOAD YOU'RE PACK.

Anyways, I digress. So I've been praying for this musical. I was at the BREAKING POINT where my body was to the point of exhaustion on Wed. My friends have been praying too (THANKS I LOVE YOU ALL!!)
Guess what? God is ROCKING MY WORLD and MUSICAL and ANSWERING PRAYERS!!!!
(I know I shouldn't be surprised, I guess in a world of famine and war and sadness I think my lil' high school musical isn't high on the list, but I forget God cares about what we care about!)

So here are my list of so far answered prayers:
*Alternate payment for t-shirts was achieved!
*We are having $$$ issues, the musician we were hiring took what we offered instead of what he should be worth :)
*To keep w/ the $$ issues, we need wood. We asked the Ag teachers to borrow some (they build a house every year) to pay them back, just to get us through the week. They gave us 2 TRUCKLOADS of GREAT WOOD and PLYWOOD (full sheets)!!! I ask what we owe them, better yet: IT WAS THEIR SCRAP WOOD!!!! God is so good :) As a student explained my shock, "Ms. Lindsey looked like a poor orphan someone just took and spent $400 dollars on"
*I have lots of choreography jobs hitting now and my brain has been fried- an old student of mine called at lunch and came to show me some choreography she thought would fit one of the songs. AMEN!
*My boys in the cast ALL have rhythm and picked up the choreography w/ no complaints and I had fun w/ them dancing on Friday.
*I had to choreograph for a college show choir, 1st time, and I was doubting my abilities after dealing w/ some not so positive attitudes in my high school class. These girls loved my dance moves! It just reaffirmed that I'm not crazy thinking I'm a dancer, this is a gift God gave me!!!

I'm so YAY and I'm telling everyone, GOD IS ROCKING OUR MUSICAL, it's definitely not me. Keep praying, 3 weeks til show time and though we still have a lot to do, God's got it so I can enjoy the life he gave me, not freak out!! :)
