Have you ever praised God so much and raised your hands so high that you feel like you could fly away? Isn't that such an amazing feeling?

I remember it was like two years ago at BigStuf...I had my arms stretched as far out as they could go and I decided then why I was raising them. I know that raising your hands is a sign of praise and admiration...but I think that even if it's just between God and me, raising my hands is like a cry out to God. It's a cry for Him to pick me up! I feel like I am His little child...just waiting for Him to sweep me away in His arms. I promise I've had such peace before that I think He's basiaclly done it.

So, I guess I might be the only one...but most of the time when I raise my hands in praise....I'm not just praising...I'm pleading for more intimacy with God.

What an AMAZING INCREDIBLE WONDERDFUL AWESOME SPLENDIFEROUS EXCELLENTIFYING feeling it will be when I am actually in His arms.

Just thinking about it.



P.S.> I know this picture isn't of anyone raising their arms....but that's because Daniel is a pansy and wouldn't let go of the bars for longer than a second.



P. S..........S. (geez...that's so dumb sounding)> I am supposed to be writing a paper that I've put off for a while now. Hah...but isn't God so much more amazing than Jack Schaefer's novel "Shane?"......duh.....
