Change of Blog Name!

I began having a relationship with Christ 15 years ago. Before that, I had occasionally attended church, and had believed in the existence of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

In 1992, whilst I was intrenched in the world, I met Hubby(to be). I followed him overseas.... he tells our kids that I hunted him down!!!

We holidayed in England for a few months and had great fun. But the most important event that happened whilst I was over there, was that I met my Lord and my friend ,Jesus. I was staying with 2 christian girls who were sisters. One night they ministered into my life, and I gave my heart to the Lord. It was a momentous evening. There were tears and moments of laughing... I knew my life had changed forever!

To cut a v-e-r-y long story short, when we got back to South Africa, Hubby (to be) and I went to a Steven Curtis Capman concert. That night, his songs and beautiful lyrics captured my heart..... and they still continue too!

I have always tended to be pretty independant and self reliant,

but the lyrics to this song by Chapman, remind me that I need Christ to be an integral part of my life..... He is my life blood!It's good to need and want him!

So....... that is why I used the lyrics of this song, in the description of my blog.

On the bank of the Tennessee River

In a small Kentucky town

I drew my first breath one cold November morning

And before my feet even touched the ground

With the doctors and the nurses gathered 'round

I started to dance

I started to dance

A little boy full of wide-eyed wonder

Footloose and fancy free

But it would happen, as it does for every dancer

That I'd stumble on a truth I couldn't see

And find a longing deep inside of me, it said . . .

I am the heart, I need the heartbeat

I am the eyes, I need the sight

I realize that I am just a body

I need the life

I move my feet, I go through the motions

But who'll give purpose to chance

I am the dancer

I need the Lord of the dance

The world beneath us spins in circles

And this life makes us twist and turn and sway

But we were made for more than rhythm with no reason

By the one who moves with passion and with grace

As He dances over all that He has made

I am the heart,

He is the heartbeat

I am the eyes, He is the sight

And I see clearly, I am just a body

He is the life

I move my feet, I go through the motions

But He gives purpose to chance

I am the dancer

He is the Lord of the dance.

(Steven Curtis Chapman)
