Dance... Dance.. and more DANCE....!!

Hello all,

quite involved in dance recently... hope u all can make for one of the performances...
2 performances with Odyssey Dance Theatre (http://www.odysseydancetheatre.com/main.htm) in Oct n Nov and a dance musical with Queenstown Baptist Church in Dec... thought would let ya know what's up...

1) Dance Improvisation ... One of my favorite forms of performances... basically, dances are kind of made-up each different time on the spot on the stage... usually either the music changes or different props are used... dancers kind of need to get used to dancing together for a while and then put on a stage to dance... it's super fun... super spontaneous....

2) "Garden in my Heart"... Full-length work... new work by Danny (artistic director aka my choreographer from Odyssey Dance Theatre)

the above 2 performances are specially meaningful in that it's my first opportunity working with professional full time dancers from overseas... I am not sure what God has in plan with these opportunities but I am truly grateful... I really don't think that I am anywhere good enough to be placed on the same platform as international artists... but He gave the chance and I will enjoy the journey and the experience as much as I can...

3) "Jesus Takes the Wheel" a dance musical to raise funds for Club Rainbow by QBC...

the publicity hasn't really started yet, so when there's official promo emails I will on forward again... I truly believe it will be an awesome journey to work with a group of 30-40 youths on this musical... though they may not be natural born super talented dancers... to see the effort and the heart that they have to wanna put in their 100+++% to serve the Lord through dance... it's amazing... it's already been a very rewarding experience...

Even as I am blogging, I am listening to Pastor Bill Johnson's (Bethel Church, Redding CA) sermon and he was preaching about how Jesus mentioned in Matthew 11 that God gives revelation to babes... that sometimes knowledge keeps us from knowing what we need to know... Knowledge + Humility = Power.... I truly pray that even as I gain more knowledge in dance, there'll always be a child-like heart to be fascinated by new knowledge to be learnt.

With greater dance intensity, the body is physically adjusting to the increased load... but in the name of Jesus... I am healed... truly pray that God will protect the bodies of all the dancers that I will be and am working with...

so see ya at one of the performances....

My God... My Father... My Daddy...

When God goes to such great length to tell u something... u know it's something important and u pray u'll remember that for life and for eternity to come....

"And I have declared to them Your Name, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them." (John 17:26)

To really digest the Word, I am typing out Jesus' sayings and saving it in a doc... and am working through the Book of John from the last chapter...
1) first read John 17 last Friday night... awesome time with the Lord under the night sky near my condo's pool. Jesus prayed in John 17 to God that He will keep us through "Your Name" and that He had came to manifest and to declare "Your Name"... as I being ministered to by the word...
2) the CD that was playing on my laptop played the song "Your Name" by Paul Baloche.... the song really ministered to me and spent sometime thinking about the different names of God and just how wonderful our God is...
3) in case u didn't know, i just got back from a weekend trip to Phuket to hang out with the gals... awesome time... and throughout the trip, the song that kept playing in my head was "Your Name"
4) Got back last night and missed preaching so thought I would listen to the last cd in Pastor Prince's series on The awesome love of the Father.... and guess what... it was an annointed sermon on Father's Day about Fatherhood (the entire message will take too long to share... u can borrow my cds.... =)) and quoted from John 17... God has many names but Jesus came to reveal a special name of God... God as our Father!!!
5) That was not all... this morning when I came back from my morning run... thought would continue reading through John, but before starting thought I would format the Scriptures that I typed on Friday night... and guess what, the first Scriptures to format was John 17

If He keeps reminding me of His Name... and has told me that His Name that Christ came to reveal is Father.... I know my Father is telling me something and He really wants me to never forget it...

Jesus came to reveal God as Abba, as Father... as Daddy... My God is all powerful and wonderful, yes He is my God... but He is above all, my Father... my Daddy.

It is when you truly know and believe in this Name of God that you can have faith to believe that the only thing that you need to do in the Kingdom of God is to believe... because this name of God reveals that the Almighty God that formed you and mould you even before you were born, loves you beyond imagination and it is His good pleasure to give you all things... no good thing will He withhold from you... We are His beloved and the Beloved Father is ours...

Believe in His Name.... believe in your Father... in your Daddy....

Will you believe that God loves you? Will you believe that God is your Daddy?
