HOW WAS I CALLED IN TO THE DANCE MINISTRY?

How was I called to the Dance Ministry? I guess all of this started a couple of years ago when I was just hanging out with Pastor Yolanda, she and a group of ladies were going to a meeting with the head of the Dance Ministry at Marion Christian Center. And I just went along for the ride. I believe I was going through a difficult time. I went to this meeting and everyone was participating and I was asked to participate as well. I did. I was told I did well. I listened to the lecture which was on how to put moves to a song. I remember her saying just listen to the song with your eyes close and then write down what you see, what you hear or what comes to you. That was pretty neat. The next thing I knew she was taking our measurements to make us a dance garments.

A couple more years went by and I, Pastor Yolanda and Sister Henderson when to a choreography dance workshop at the Christian Assembly Church being held by Darsye Osborne and Yvonne Peters. Once again that was good. At this workshop I brought my first dance garment a hanky from Diane Ransom. That was the beginning of the Dance Ministry at Glory To God for me. Our first dance was I believe Seasons by Donald Lawrence the second dance was I won't turn back by Yolanda Adams. This was actually my first solo in the group this was a group song but I had a solo part. This song was special to me because it was saying I won't turn back, I am not going to turn back.

From there we did praise and worship service. During my beginning I felt like Moses I felt did feel I could dance, I felt I was not as good as the other ladies in the group, I felt like I looked funny when I dance that I could not move like the rest of the ladies. However I loved dancing before the Lord. I had stop participating in the Dance Ministry for a season due to the fact my life was not in line with the word of God. Once I repented and got my life back in order. I started to dance again then our dance leader left the church and I then wondered what I am going to do now. However Tracy and I and Sister Holiday continued to do praise and worship then sister holiday stepped now somewhere in-between all of this I was prophesy to that something happens in the spirit realm when I dance... I did not realize that however I knew that there were times when I needed to dance. In July 2006 I went to exaltation I always have gone but only to the evening services but last year I not only went to the night services I went to the workshops during the day. Tracy was suppose to attend with me but she didn't. I attended the workshops a lot of them were over my head. This is where I met Pastor Pam I attended her choreography workshop and her workshop on how to start a dance ministry. I had a great time and while attending Pastor Pam workshop I was at awe she is Black and she is here in Columbus, Ohio while attending her workshop I receive a flyer about the dance summit in October. I had set in my mind then I was going to that event. Also during the workshop I receive information on summer dance classes at Christian assembly. I took a summer class and I thought I was going there to learn information to take back to our dance ministry. That was not why I was there I was there for myself to learn how
