National Liturgical Dance Event
Saturday, September 11, 2010, the International Dance Commission, San Francisco Bay Area Chapter celebrated its first Annual Liturgical Dance Day at First AME Community Church, 2915 Willow Pass Road, Bay Point, CA 94565. While to audience was small, the spirit of God was powerful.
DJ Watergate kept the spirit stirring, as he selected spirit-filled music throughout the day's dance worship. Valetta Thompson of Shiloh Baptist Church, Sacramento, CA willed God's blessing through African and scriptual dance. Young artists, Kah Rah Arts, of South Sacramento Christian Center displayed an array of flag worship that truly displayed how flagging can break strongholds. Kah Rah Arts member, "Just Krisofer" presented a powerful solo ministry that moved everyone to praise.
Ministry, Vessels of Praise gave God praise through performance ministry that made all who witnessed were forced to consider how they treat their community members. Blessings feel down when Clare Dolan Shahakar from Calvary Christian Center, El Sobrante,CA allowed the Holy Spirit to use her, as she ministered into a realm of holy offering.
IDC Coordinators, Eunice Parks and Loretta Green-Williams extended their offerings as well as IDC San Francisco Bay Area Chapter Assistant, Ellora Diehl and her daughter prophetically ministered to those present. While Chaznee Brown, Director & Founder of The Sickle Cell Anemia Foundation of the East Bay was present to extend added information about the importance of understanding how Sickle Cell affects our communities.
Senior Pastor of First AME Community Church, Rev. Michael Permillion indicated how the program blessed the Bay Point community and welcomed IDC to be a part of the FAMECC family worship opportunities.

Traveling This Journey
Today I've come to a better realization that my tasks are more difficult than my assumptions. Like me, do you sometimes feel that you can complete everything you placed on your "To Do List?" Yet, by the end of the day, only one-third has been completed. A new day comes along, and you awakened with the assumption that "This day, I'm gonna finish everything I set out to do." Half-way through the day, you realize that you only completed one-third of your list.
Don't despair. You've got the "I can do all things through Christ that straighten me" ambition. While we do know we can do all things through Christ, it is quite admirable on our part to put so much on your plate. Instead of filling our plates with so much "to do", perhaps we should stop to listen what Christ really has assigned for us to do. What better way to give Him the honor, instead of thinking that we know what is best for us to do to honor Him.
I'm not just talking to you, but to myself. Remember, I started out succumb to the realization that I put too many pots on the stove with just two hands to stir them all. So while I know "I can do all things through Christ..." I do understand that I must be mindful, and at times, just wait for instruction. While a watched pot never boils, a pot without enough water will burn the stew.
I think the next thing I'll put on my "TO DO LIST" is just wait on the Lord.

How Often Do You Wake-up Through the Night?
The most difficult time I have is a continued 8-hour rest period. I try to quiet my spirit in order to obtain a restful night, but there is always the last minute "thing I gotta do", or "remember what I have to do in the morning...". So, why can't I get a good night's rest? Well, I believe the last thing you do, or think about, before you go to bed, becomes the lasting thought through-out your rest. In order to combat my lack of continued sleep, I am now attempting to create levels of assurances, positivity, and love before I lay my head down to rest. For example, I am currently writing a novel, so I am attempting to write 20 minutes a night. I am currently teaching bible study, Sunday School, and am the San Francisco Bay Area Coordinator for the International Dance Commission. What these three assignments have in common is the Word. I know that we can do all things through Christ that strengthen us, so I read from the Word in order to strengthen my relationship with God and within my assignments. I also add to my daily reading, Company Keepers: Dance Ministry Daily by Rekesha Pittman, and Grace for the Movement, by Max Lucado. Because we have so many stimulants that can deter us from our purpose, it is important that we keep my mines on the ultimate prize. Oh! first you must know what is your purpose. How do you find it, and if you know your purpose, what are you doing to grow within the Devine's plan for your life? Knowing mine is to honor God through creative forms of communications, you can observe my considerations through my blog talk radio (www.blogtalkradio.com/sumatra), my information webpage (www.sumatrablogtalk.info), and now within this blog space. So may I please pose this question to you? "How often do you wake-up through the night?" What wakes you up?...Is it your purpose, your promise?...Is it your worry, your inability to control what is not for you to control?...Whatever it is, I would like to suggest that stop for a moment, let the Voice speak to you, and then try God.
