• Moved to tears….

  I was in church today, and I realised something.  There was a Children’s choir by the name of WATOTO, from Africa and they did something that I didn’t imagine I would do: Cry in church.

  Other than the time someone else made me cry cause they pissed me off during a service, I think I was moved to tears today.  These kids were orphaned as kids because of war or their parenst died of disease.  And I wathced them today,  Singing and dancing on the stage and it was amazing. 

  It was inspirational.  It was a joy.  To see them, in such harsh environment and growing up in such an difficult way, they still were able to sing and dance and praise the lord the way they did.

  Things like this just puts everything into perspective for you.  And I felt a certain kinship with the kids, since if you don’t know already.  I’m adopted.

  I keep thinking that life is difficult sometimes, and though I have it easier than some, They stil seem to have more than I do.  Because they have the Joy of God inside them.  I looked into each of their eyes, and they glistened and they were tryly happy and excited to be dancing there.  It was inspirational.

  I sat there, and did everything I could to not shed a tear in church.  But I was all ready for it.  Their testamony was just a testament to the joy and the graciousness of God.

  I’ve learned to appreciate things so much more.  And now everything is so small compared HIM..

  Thank You god for sharing this with me….
