I am happy to be back digging into this blog after almost 4 years of hibernating. :D
I am happy to present to you this dance Way Maker as a start!
No matter what happened, what's happening right now or what will happen tomorrow know that we have a great God who loves us so much. He will never leave us, nor forsake us.
May we always remember the message of this song,
"Way maker, miracle worker, promise keeper Light in the darkness My God, that is who You are."
Here's the tutorial of this simple dance. I posted this on my new youtube channel. I hope you can also subscribe and follow me here with my family now.
This blog was entombed for a few months as I was always running out of time to dig this out and honestly a sort of laziness was always kicking as well... haha
Oh yeah this is my first blog post for the year 2016! :))
I am now in the other side of the world. I moved into the place where my heart belongs- where my husband is. I am now based in Saint Petersburg Florida. Yes! Im now in the US..... :) I am very much happy to be with my husband now, at last! But yah part of me, I am missing my family and friends in the Philippines and Thailand. Thank God for the internet that connects us even I am milessssssssss away from them.
Well, yes im away now from the team. But I believe wherever God brings me, there He is and His plans for my life will never be gone.
Before I left Thailand, after my last "praise and worship" practice with the team in our church there, my sister presented this song "Deep Cries Out" by the Bethel Worship Team. And yah we decided to dance together with our tambourines! :)
We never planned the strokes here. We just went along with the music and recalled our strokes in tambourine. This might not be perfect but this is memorable to me- the last dance i was with them.
I am praying that even if Im away from them now, God will open doors for me to go back in the DANCE MINISTRY where my heart beats in worshiping God.
Here is the dance!

We have this latest dance WAKE by Hillsongs in their album Young and Free!
Actually we didn't make the action of this dance. Joy, my sister just followed this from youtube. They practiced this dance before but never been presented yet. So when i came, they told me about this dance and they shared it to me last Saturday.
Now, here are the videos during our practice last Saturday and Sunday!
After our dance practice and our PW practice last Saturday, we took video on our cover for this very common song and one of my favorites, I Could Sing of Your Love forever. We had its English, Thai and Tagalog Version (which i made last April2009),& the rap part of our friend Chang-Chang which i consider superb! :)
And here's another song , Steady my heart by Kari Jobe!
I thank God for the joy around with these friends!
I'm trying to get this blog alive again. :) Glad to sit and give time to share our dances through this blog post.
I've been away in the team for a year and now I'm glad that I am back. I thank God that I overcome all those testings and trials in my life through Christ. I am thankful for those moments of crying and laughing while away from them. I know i will never be the same as before. I believe that I am stronger as I pass through those obstacles in life.
You may undergo a lot of problems right now, but rest assured that the God who sent Christ Jesus to save us because of His great love for us has always given us hope in this life. He has saved us from the bandage of sin, has given us this free gift of eternal salvation and has prepared a place for us in heaven. It is the same God who died on the cross that has seen your sufferings each day and has seen every problem that you are into. Let us lay down our burdens to Him and trust Him, for the battle is not ours but His.
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
John 3:16 NKJV
““Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.””
John 14:1-4 NKJV
“The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?”
Psalms 27:1 NKJV
“Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
For I, the LORD your God, will hold your right hand, Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’”
Isaiah 41:10, 13 NKJV
Let me share this dance to you as a declaration that we are victorious through Christ Jesus!
We have Overcome by Israel Houghton!
I am glad that had a chance in making this tambourine dance but i wasn't able the final performance of this dance during the 11th Anniversary of Cornerstone Chapel Hadyai since i went back to the North already at that time.
Here is the video of the making... :)
Here is the tutorial of the dance! :)
And this is their final performance during the anniversary in the church last August.
Yeah! I am back...... :) after half a year of not touching my blog and let it sleep, I am grateful that I able to put this into life again!
Our GOD is GREAT!
A lot of things happened in the past 6 months and whether they were joyful or painful experiences, I thank God for all of it. As the word of God says in Romans 8:28,
" And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according toHispurpose."
I always declare that my God knows what is best for me! Whatever He is up to for my life regardless if I can understand them or not, I trust Him.
Part of growing in life is to accept the changes of the routines we have for our daily living as the time changes. The Bible says in Ecclesiastes 3:1,
"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:"
The time for me to leave the place, the church, the work, the people, the friends and the Dance Team which i used to be with had come. Leaving the south of Thailand wasn't easy last September 2014 but through it I have seen and experienced more God's power in my life as I surrender to Him. I learned more that pain is really part of growing and His molding on us. Though not all pain are His plans for us (cause we sometimes intend to do things against His will), I realized that all pain make you more stronger in your faith in Him as you seek Him more.
Truly, after every rain, there is always a rainbow of HOPE!
Now, I am in the North of Thailand. I PRAISE GOD! :)
Though I am far in the team now, I am thankful that God has continually move into each one of us-Eksilah DanceTeam continually dance for His glory!
God has blessed me with a work that is more than what I desire. I am now connected in one of the Universities in the North. Hallelujah! Connected as well with another church the CVC- Christ Vision Church. And as I continue to seek God for His will in my life here in the North, I give Him Praise!
Along the way of my darkest time, I am glad that through this blog and our chanel in youtube, I am blessed to hear feed backs from those who followed us and shared their testimonies on how this group has helped them a bit in their dance team. I give God glory for all of this.. We are grateful to hear from you all..I can't mention you one by one, but to those who messaged us and leave comments in our videos, thank you so much as you are used by God to encourage us as well to go on on this passion that God has given to us.
As the school year ends, I am glad that my sister, Joy and two other members of the team, Karisse & Maureen visit me here in the North. So happy to see them again and find time to do things we are fond of doing..and yeah one of those is dance! :)
One of our friends out there requested us to show a video of Tambourine Dance and dance tutorial for this song "Come let Us Worship and Bow Down", and yeah we thank God He has given us this time to take this and my heart leaps with joy and im really glad to be back on my passion!
