Gotta Just Get Up and Dance!

Today God reminded me of how much I love studying. I was reading "The Case for Progressive Dispenasationalism" by Robert Saucy for my theology class and as I came across the Hebrew words habarit wawhahesed meaning "the covenant of love" I got so excited and overjoyed that I just wanted to get up and dance. So I put some Israel Houghton on and just started dancing - basking in the reality that I am God's child - that I am loved by Him and as I study and dance, He sees me and smiles as a Father takes pleasure in watching His child live in the reality of His love. I know this is God's grace to me because last Monday I really had no desire to go back to school, since I've been so tired and burned out recently from studying so much. I realized that the reason why I was burned out is because I was trying to accomplish and strive in my own intellectual capability, taking pride in myself, instead of relying on the Spirit and just exercising the gifts God has given me. It's such a refreshing experience to have this joy once again, and I'm thankful that God breaks me and puts me together again.

a song I've been singing alot recently that I learned during a Junior High camp.
I feel like this sums up my seminary experience so far quite well:

Invitacion Fountain

Verse 1
All who are weak, all who are weary
Come to the rock, come to the fountain
All who have failed on the rivers of heartache
Come to the sea, come on be set free

Chorus
If you lead me Lord, I will follow
Where You lead me Lord, I will go
Come and heal me Lord, I will follow
Where You lead me Lord I will go
I will go, I will go

Verse 2
All who are weak, all who are weary
Come to the rock, come to the fountain
All who have climbed on the mountains of heartache
Reach to the stars, come on give your life

Verse 3
All who are weak, all who are weary
All who are tired, all who are thirsty
All who have failed, all who are broken
Come to the rock, come to the fountain
