God's Presence

Last night my family attended a service at my father-in-laws church that a Hispanic Church was having with the youth in place of Halloween. Let me start off by saying how moved I was by these teens and young adults, it was amazing to see them pouring their hearts out to the Lord and the music was awesome!! They also put on some drama's and skits to music which was very powerful and moving, plus almost the entire service was in Spanish, which I love to worship and sing in that language!
God's presence was so real with us last night and it was very refreshing for me, this was something that I needed for some time now, just to bask in his presence was so filling! Now if you know anything about Hispanic culture, you know that they are very passionate people and love their music very loud and very long times of worship...we praised God for hours and the time went by like minutes. There were kids dancing, and waving flags, just OVERFLOWING with joy and happiness, praising God with reckless abandonment, loving on the God who created all things and who loves them.
Take time today to practice God's presence, do whatever you need to do, read, listen, sing, solitude, journal, take a walk, WHATEVER it takes, but take time today to enjoy His sweet presence!
