how can I keep from singing?

I am so overjoyed right now! I keep thinking about the Chris Tomlin song How Can I Keep From Singing because truly the Lord has blessed me and filled my heart to overflowing.  Yesterday in my One Year Bible I was reading Psalm 34.  Verse 18 says "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted".  This verse reminded me that God meets us where we are.  God is close to the brokenhearted, the hurt, the angry, the joyful, the sick, etc.  

I went to church and God met me where I was.  The Watoto Children's Choir came to sing and share some testimonies.  Their joy is so evident.  All of the 1700 children that are currently a part of the Watoto Village ministry have had one or both of their parents die from HIV/AIDS.  They were rescued and brought to a Watoto Village where they go to school and have their needs taken care of.  I was brought to tears listening to them sing...they truly filled my heart with the Spirit. 

Pastor Mark then gave a good word from John 5 and God showed up through it. One thing that Pastor Mark said is that we need to stop trying to get out of our circumstances and learn what we need to get out of our circumstance.  I was convicted by that and felt God tugging at my heart to pray for Him to reveal Himself to me in a new way.  This morning I was listening to music and reading my Bible and I just stopped, raised my hands and was overcome with God's love, God's forgiveness and God's power.  I have been listening to the Watoto Children's Choir all morning, I recommend getting a CD, and I feel like I have seen more of the heart of God which is transforming my heart!  

I can't wait to go to Ethiopia (in less than a month).  I feel so tied to the problem of HIV/AIDS in Africa and those affected by it.  God has been growing my burden for this and I just am loving learning more about myself and God while seeking His heart for these people.  I can only pray for more.    Thank you, God! 

"...and the Father will do greater works than these, so that you will marvel."
