o
My mother is a professional dancer which has influenced my life greatly.
What I do today is much due to what my mother has done.
What I have learned about God, the faith, Jesus and salvation
have been the most important tools I have received from my family.
I am so thankful to God that from early on I have been able to grow up
in that knowledge.
That has carried me until this day.
It's very sad when people do not have hope.
Faith has given me security -
I know that someone takes care of me and everything is in His hands.
Worship dance is very different from any other dance, -
because the spirit of God is present and you can feel it.
The Holy Spirit is so powerfully present there.
Regular dance praises man, his abili- ties and his beautiful movements, -
but worship dance praises God and it has power.
My dream is that I could continue this worship dance.
I feel useful when God uses me and I can surrender my hands to God
asking him to move me and touch that person.
I want to continue doing this as long as God uses me and
I am able to do it.
I nourish my relationship with God through small prayers
throughout the day.
It's easy for me to pray to God through movement
and it has brought me closer to God.
It's a relationship and not religion.
You can talk to God throughout the day and when you see something
very beautiful, such as the sunset, you thank God for it.
You are amazed at how He could create something so beautiful.
