Ty's parents have been here a couple weeks and we have all been having a good time with our friends/neighbors. Ty's mom wanted to make these amazingly delicious things called apple dumplings for dessert and so we had our friends over for one more get together before we take them to the airport early tomorrow. The oldest daughter (who is 9) agreed to dance for us-a worship dance she had choreographed and performed during Christmas. It was beautiful! I watched her eyes and she never once looked at us while doing it. She was totally focused on what she was doing and giving her all to the Lord. Watching her rock her arms and point to heaven, I wondered if she could see Jesus as she danced for him. Our daughter (3) sat mesmerized in her little dress-up dance costume and whispered "mommy, can I do my dance when she's done?" We said sure and she and their youngest danced around the room intent on what they were doing. It was sweet. Then the neighbors all left and the music was still on and grandpa was watching and it happened. Worship happened. My little girl was swaying gently moving her arms and twirling gracefully and suddenly she was caught up in the music. She was mimicking what she had seen earlier in the evening but never once looked at us. She rocked her arms as if she had dear baby Jesus right there. And she sat in almost splits with her arms up looking intently at her hands to make sure they were positioned just right. She twirled and twirled and twirled and moved with such grace and intensity that I could hardly breathe. And as the music ended and she whooshed forward then back with her arms perfectly placed she twirled into a seated position and lay her head and arms down forward onto the ground and just lay there. She didn't even look at us when we all clapped. It was amazing. It was beautiful. It was a moment when I saw the Lord seated high on His throne exalted...by a dear sweet little girl who I pray continues to have a heart in love with Jesus not only as a baby but as her Savior and King!
