Almost two years ago I joined a Christian dance company, Get Lifted Ensemble, started by a young woman I went to undergrad with at High Point University. Every Friday I come together with six strong women of God to prepare to minister through dance. On a typical day we study the Bible, stretch and dance.
I'll be honest, when I first joined the group I was a baby in my Christian walk. Although I had been saved for many years, I was still a baby. My prayer life was non-existent, I didn't attend church service on a regular basis and I was not a part of any ministry. I felt a little intimidated being around such strong women of faith. I mean some of them and quote scripture left and right. Others could speak in tongue and all of them were gifted with the power of prayer and dance.
Being around my sisters has helped me grow as a Christian and as a women. We encourage each other in times of need. They hold me accountable for my actions and I know I can call on ANY of them if I need prayer in the middle of the night. Heck, they even make house calls!!!! I've grown so much in my Christian walk and I thank God for allowing me to be a part of this ministry. My prayer life is so much stronger and I even joined a new church. S/O to the First Baptist Church of Glenarden :-) I've finally found a ministry and a group of women that accept me for who I am.
A few weeks ago our Creative Director decided she wanted us to shoot a video to Mary Mary's "Sitting with Me" off of their Something Big album. We did this on a gloomy Saturday morning. We had no idea what to expect, but check this out!

How AWESOME was that?!?!?!? Yea, God is Good!!!!
I'm so thankful for Making the Band :-)
