yaay!

For the first time since going back, I had fun at choir practice tonight! After practice we spend time in prayer. The girl who usually leads prayer asked me to pray instead! I made jokes and said "no" two dozen times. Then I told her I'd do it. Afterwards, someone remarked that they can see my joy returning. (Yes, it was obvious) Then someone I really respect looked at me and said, "And you have a gift for prayer, too." Well shut my mouth! Honestly, I was flabbergasted. Wow, God. Wow.

He's turned my mourning into dancing again.
He's lifted my sorrow.
I can't stay silent.
I must sing for His joy has come!
