      Right before I left for the conference my 14 year old nephew was cleaning out his room and brought me a gyroscope he didn't want. He gave it to me and I thought "???". A gyroscope is a wheel within a wheel (go Ezekiel, go!) that defies gravity by the force of rapid spinning. When I got to the conference, every time we worshipped I kept seeing myself spinning. God has told me to do that before and I did...even at the church I am at right now. But everytime I looked around at the conference, there just didn't seem to be "room" for me to do what I was seeing myself do. Friday night I went to a corner, but the sound was muffled and I couldn't see the words or art and I felt too seperated from what was happening. So then Saturday night at the end when you said we were supposed to praise, I was excited because I thought "this is it!" But I moved out of the seat into the aisle and there just wasn't any room and I almost got bonked in the face a few times by some other worshipers, so I moved back . I tried to spin where I was standing, but with the chairs all around, I only made it a couple of revolutions. The song was saying "You SPIN over me" and I KNEW that was what the Lord was doing...I could see Him rejoicing over me and all of the things that I had believed about what He said that week. I wanted to join Him, but was feeling hemmed in and that there was no room for me. This is such a picture of how I feel where I am at right now. Next thing I know I see you tearing out through the crowd heading in my direction. Even before you turned and stepped across all the chairs, I knew you were headed for me. When you got to me the crazed look on your face and the imploring to step out and be free was the look of the Lord to me at that moment. I could see the wild, ecstatic joy that He had and the desperate desire for me to be with Him in that place of freedom. So when I moved out and began to spin, (although I am 44 and also desperately had to pee! so my spinning could only go so long) I felt His joy over me. Then He immediately reminded me of a vision I had about 8 or 9 years ago of stepping out of a place of deep darkness through a door into the kingdom of light and He met me and grabbed me by the hands and began to spin me until my feet lifted off the ground and we fell in the grass and flowers laughing.
