Moved By The Spirit
The jet lag had still yet to set in as I made it to Hamar this morning. With my arrival came the news that the students of Hedmarktoppen (one of Norway's leading discipleship training schools) were preparing to meet with me in the early afternoon. So after a quick café latte, and an even quicker change of clothes, I was off again to spend a few hours with these amazing young people!
After sharing a couple of songs (Farewell Babylon, Just Your Boy) I asked if anyone else had a song (there’s always one more song). “Sweet” Caroline, with boldness, came up right away, that is, after she hunted down a capo, and sang a mellifluous rendition of Salvation. I couldn’t help but jump up on the keys and finish out “Salvation has a name…” with her! Immediately following was Maria, with the aid of Ole Bendik on acoustic guitar, who sang Amy Grant’s Better Than A Hallelujah. Their performance inspired some words I shared regarding honesty in our praise to God. In brevity, ‘twas a rich time.
Wrapping up the afternoon, I was thrilled to learn that the dance class would finish out our time together with a dance to the song Which Way. Choreographed by their teacher Ragnhild Reinsberg, she mentioned that the idea to choreograph the routine only came to her recently. So I was very honored to be able to witness such a beautiful display of movement to my song. These are truly amazing young people bringing the Father glory through their giftings. May it bless you too!
