Everyone worships differently.

After talking with a friend yesterday I've been thinking a lot about worship. It's amazing how everyone worships differently and how each way is so amazing! Whether you choose to sit during worship and pray, raise your hands in the air in praise, dance, paint, sing OR not sing...it's amazing. We all lift up our talents and love to God and it's so beautiful. I'm learning more and more everyday to really value each person for what they bring to the proverbial "table" whether it be good or bad, because God has a plan for everyone and everyone is in your life for a reason. Your past molds your future. And with this respect for different ways of worship, I've thought more about those who aren't tolerant of other people's way of worshiping. In some churches you would be looked at with a glare if you were to stand and raise your hands to God and praise him, or heaven forbid you danced! At other places you're made to feel awkward if you DON'T do those things.

Everyone should be respected and loved for their individuality and bracing that individuality!

Day One

It has begun :)
I woke up late and woke to the arrival of our new roommate. His mom was here with him so I didn't want to be rude and not speak to them when I saw them. So I talked to them for a few minutes, talked to PJ for a bit, and now it has begun...silence. Not that everything around me is quiet, but I'm working on getting my mind that way. I'm listening to some praise and worship music along with some amazing celtic music (I am so in love with Celtic Woman) and I'm getting the ball rolling.

It's going to be a long three days (^_^)
