When I Enter Your Rest

"Early in the morning, I seek Your face
I find my life in the fullness of Your joy.
Every stress and anxiety, it is gone;
When I enter Your rest, when I enter Your rest.
I find my life in You, when I enter Your rest.
My peace is complete, when I enter Your rest.
My faith is refreshed, when I enter Your rest.
I am surrounded by the power of Your love."

-When I Enter Your Rest/Cuando Reposo En Ti- Joann Rosario

The first time I heard this song, I was at a concert at Shepherd's House. There were two sister singing the song acoustic. It spoke volumes to the situation I was going through at the time. So when I was trying to find a song to praise dance to for Resurrection Sunday, this song kept playing over in my head. The words along just give me strength when I read it and I agree with it. When we enter the rest of the Lord; we find peace, we have our faith renewed, we are strengthened and restored. No one can do that for us but the Lord. In Deutronomy 33:27a "The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are everlasting arms..." The Lord is not only our rest but a refuge, a strong tower; our fort. Nothing beats that.

Measured and Found Lacking....

I haven’t blogged for a whole month! I am sooooo sorry! I am going to keep you up to date:

This month was our 32nd Church Convention (October 11th-18th, 2009). The theme was: “Stir Up the Gifts that is Within You” from 2 Timothy 1:6. It was an awesome week! The week before was praying and then I had to prepare our church newsletter/magazine called “Endeavor” for it. I have been so busy with it that I barely had any sleep.

My birthday dinner is at the Riverview in Long Island City, Queens. The guest list started out at 30 but now might be around 17-20. I would like for it to be an intimate affair but we’ll see. While I’m on the topic of the birthday dinner, a certain someone maybe a no show. But the dinner isn’t for him, it’s for me. You don’t turn 25 everyday.


My dress!!!!!! Where do I begin? I didn’t get in contact with my dress maker so I will have to buy a dress; the problem is that I don’t see any dresses that I like! Oh woe is me! I did see this awesome dress at H&M but we’ll see.

Dance- I am so humble and blessed that the Lord has allowed me to lead the Dance Ministry at my church. The vision has grown and I will be supervising 3 dance ministries. God is so good! I went to a Praise Dance Seminar today and was so blessed! I am so excited for the next chapter.

My relationship- My relationship with God is showing me that I could be sooo much further but I am holding myself back. I have found lacking and it’s time to get to work. I realize that we as Christians are always silent while other groups shout their beliefs and lifestyles from the hilltops; it’s time to stand unashamed!
There are areas that I am lacking in but I learned in my weakness His strength is shown.


My 25th Year a.k.a My Quarterlife- I am determined to end ties, and severe things in my life that are not of God and hinder my growth. It’s time to stand and stand for all to see. I have to make sure my lifestyle echos my words. It’s a new season; there’s no turning back. Also, I am back in Bible School! I started General Bible Survey 1. It’s a lot of work!

I hope that you guys have been blessed; I apologize for such a gap in my blogging. There has been so much on my plate lately. Be blessed.

While I'm Waiting

I love the song by John Waller called “While I’m Waiting” from the Fireproof Soundtrack. It had me thinking: while I’m waiting in my current situation what am I doing? I am giving my relationship with God more “face-time” so to speak, lol. I am also looking into ballet classes, French lessons, cooking, and looking into what classes I want to take before I start spring semester at Parsons. In other words: I am developing myself. I was so used to being what everyone expected me to be now I am being who God intended me to be. I like that: being who God intended me to be. That makes the possibilities as far as the horizon. In this time of waiting I look at it as a time of preparing. I am preparing and honing my skills that I will need later when I’m in Paris designing for Christian Lacroix (God willing his line is still around) or choreographing dances for the Praise Dance Ministry, or even cooking for fundraisers. The possibilities are endless. What are you doing while you’re waiting?

Perfecting Holiness- Day 6

Today was Open-Air Service. That is when we have our service outside the church on the street. It was a lot of fun, we were dancing in the street, singing and rejoicing for the world to see. It was a great service. Afterwards, I rehearsed with both the girls and the womens' Praise Dance Team. Let’s just say I was exhausted by the end of the day.
