we love us some thursdays!

Thursday Night!

Everyone’s favorite day of the week! :)

Well, it is if you are a part of ALIVE anyways…haha

The A’s met up early and spent some time choreographing Revolution…got a LOT done :) yay!

Its gonna be pretty epic, friends.

God’s going to use it!

And then we gathered and I shared a video that I am LOVING with them all…

It’s a guy named Ezekiel Azonwu, he is a spoken word artist and oh. Man.

Suuuuucccccchhhhhhh good words!!!

A friend at work sent it to me the other day and so I was watching it and I was like whoa!

Preach it brother!

We CANNOT be “almost saved”. We are or we’re not, and its not doing anyone any good to pretend like we are when we’re just almost.

My favorite part?

“you don’t almost go to jail, when you almost blow up a plane. Like you don’t almost go to hell, when you almost get saved”

Mmmmhmmmmm. Tough to hear…but so so so necessary.

He just gets right to the heart of the matter and is just using his art to speak life into people. Its amazing. I recommend watching it. we spent some time discussing it…goooood stuff. :)

God is just giving me this like craving - ? I guess is the word I would use…? Haha but this craving, this super strong need to see people who are really allowing God to use their gifts. You know those times when you’re watching someone or something and you can just SEE and FEEL what they are feeling? It moves you and you can’t help but get a glimpse into something beyond just the superficial…

Im just craving those times.

I have this deep desire to see people find the gifts they have that will enable them to meet with God in such a way that they can’t help but respond using those gifts in a way where you can see what He’s teaching and showing them.

I don’t know what God is doing, but i'm making it my prayer - that we can seek Him and His heart, and the He will bless that by just pouring out through us.  He is just wanting people to know right now that we cannot and will not ever do anything more than entertaining if we’re not doing things on His power. He’s the one that breathes life into our gifts and makes them weapons to cut through the darkness and open people’s eyes to His truth…
its so exciting, friends!

Ok, back on track….

So half the team spent time learning the Revolution drama while the other half spent time brainstorming for future dramas and ideas and things…

he's tired too...:)

we also make them dance until their knees are almost bleeding.

look at their sad faces :(

anyone out there feel led to donate a hardwood floor? 

oh, and a dance studio?

:)

we have the mirrors!

we have a new art project that we are going to work on...and i'm super excited about it.

I will say – hours can be spent trying to come up with things, but the absolute best ideas come in 2 seconds.

Those times when you finally sit down and just fully place yourself in His presence and He says – ok, do this.

and it all makes sense.

Its crazy.

But its one of my absolute favorite things about my relationship with Him.

I love that He shows up like that.

Amazing.

And humbling…;)

But overall – a very productive and happy night.

:)

Love it.

LOTS of stuff coming up soon!

We’ll keep you posted :)
