I’m an enthusiastic Cajun girl. I love food, I love football, I love to talk with my hands, I love God’s Word, I love music, and I love to jump around a bit. This week’s song “Wake” by Hillsong Young & Free will put you in a dancing mood, but even better than that, it points us straight to Scripture.
I can’t think of any better reason that to dance around with joy and celebration than when I think of God’s unfailing love that will continue FOREVER!
