Update on Life

I was told I need to get back on track with my blogs, so here goes.
I should probably set a better timeline and schedule for doing this, but life is so hectic right now and I have a million things going on.  I'll try to get better, although I'm not sure many people read this anyway.  I like to think it's more of a diarylike blog.  
First, God is awesome.  He is doing some amazing things in me right now and is really stirring up my desire and love for Him.  I attended my first Night of Worship at church and am really wondering why I never went to one.  It was amazing, God is amazing.  He just keeps peeling layers off of me and opening my eyes more and more each day.  My desire to be in His presence grows the more I learn and know Him.  I have been struggling with how I should worship the Lord and have often been very worried about my "self-image".  God finally showed me that NO ONE CARES! We are all out there together worshipping an amazing, wonderful, all powerful being. It's not about ME...it's about HIM, and doing what is pleasing to Him.  When I finally let go and lifted my hands to the Lord I felt completely free.  It was in complete surrender and obedience to Him.  And I can't begin to describe how much I love worship now.  I am free!!!!!
Second, there have been some things I have dabbled in during my past that the enemy had a tight grip on me from.  It was invading my dreams, often times my thoughts, and I felt like I couldn't shake my awful past.  I know God has forgiven me, but the enemy wouldn't let it go. God began to rip those chains from me at Night of Worship.  The peace I feel is incredible. Seeing God in action like this is unbelievable.  
I can't wait to see what He does next.
