"I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding. For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until the day of Christ's return. May you always be filled with the fruit of your salavation- the righteous character produced in your life by Jesus Christ- for this will bring much glory and praise to God."

Philippians 1:9-11

Sanctuary B.K.A. the Kitchen

sanc·tu·ar·y
[sangk-choo-er-ee]
–noun, plural -ar·ies.
1. a sacred or holy place.

For the last several mornings, our little kitchen has been transformed into our own little sanctuary.  We have begun our mornings during our ritual where everyone in the house gets medicated for various ailments (it really is quite a process!), to praise,dance, and sing to a song called "In the Sanctuary".  The first time I heard this song was at a Beth Moore conference, sung by Travis Cottrell.  I recently rediscovered it and introduced it to my kiddos and they loooovvveeeeee it!  They now wake up asking for the "morning song"!  Here is the link if you want to listen (I'm sure there is a much more sophisticated way to have the actual song on here where all you have to do is click play, but I'm doing well just getting my pics on here!):

I, of course, grabbed the camera, to capture our sanctuary moment.

In this moment, our kitchen became our holy place as we began our day praising Him!
"We lift our hands to give You the Glory!"


Lissie was watching from the living room trying to figure out what all the excitement was about as she was patiently waiting for her breakfast!



"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."
Matthew 18:20

You just know He was there jamming right along with us!

                                                             "In the Sanctuary" Lyrics
We lift our hands in the sanctuary
We lift our hands to give you the glory
We lift our hands to give you the praise
And we will praise you for the rest of our days
Yes we will praise you for the rest of our days(2x)

We clap our hands in the sanctuary
We clap our hands to give you the glory
We clap our hands to give you the praise
And we will praise you for the rest of our days
Yes we will praise you for the rest of our day

We sing our song in the sanctuary
We sing our song to give you the glory
We sing our song to give you the praise
And we will praise you for the rest of our days
Yes we will praise you for the rest of our days

Jesus we give you the praise
Emmanuel we lift up your name
Heavenly father coming Messiah!
And we will praise you for the rest of our days
Yes we will praise you for the rest of our days

Hallelujah in the sanctuary
Hallelujah we give you the glory
Hallelujah we give you the praise
And we will praise you for the rest of our days
Yes we will praise you for the rest of our days

Jesus we give you the praise
Emmanuel we lift up your name
Heavenly father coming Messiah!
And we will praise you for the rest of our days
Yes we will praise you for the rest of our days

Yes lord for the rest of our days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
