Heather's introduction: I was first introduced to Praise in Motion in 2012 when one of the founders visited my Bible study group and led us through two songs. That day I realized Praise in Motion was what I had been missing in my life. I immediately started attending weekly Praise in Motion classes. In 2016, after being a participant for 3 years, I began the certification program to become a leader.

 

The Lord has used Praise in Motion to bring me closer to Himself and brought me a freedom in my body that I did not have before. Through the movement of each song I am able to embody what His Word says to me, symbolically putting on the armor of God, or allowing the Holy Spirit to wash me of all unrighteousness, or using my whole body to praise and worship Him. I love studying scripture, using my mind to learn more and more about Jesus. I have found that when I combine using my mind and my body, through dance, that His truths can more easily make their way into my heart and my soul. There are many ways to connect with Lord: reading his Word, praying, enjoying fellowship with other believers, and worshipful movement; Praise in Motion brings all of these together in the most beautiful way. The joy of seeing others feel loved by their Creator and feeling freedom in their bodies is an honor to be a part of and experience myself.
