New Hope Church

Okay, so I personally think our worship at New Hope is awesome. And I don't think it is just because Dave's in the band. Yesterday he was not even up there, and I was just loving the music! I have never had music move me so much before. Literally! I am starting to loosen up a little. Normally I just stand straight and embarassed, barely singing and sort of mime-clapping (not actually making any noise, because I am so worried about being off the beat). But during one of Pastor Luke's sermons, he said that when he was at church, he was gonna sing "like a hyena on crack" because he was worshipping God. That really stuck with me, partially because it was so hysterical, but also because I have always had a problem where I feel like because I can't sing, I just shouldn't. But I've started to realize that sounding good and looking normal have nothing to do with praise and worship time at church.
Anyways, yesterday, I was really loving the music, and I was clapping and everything, not self-conscious for once (since it's not about me!) and... my bra flew open! Lord. It was one of those front clasp ones, and since all my other bras were in the wash, I was forced to wear this particular one, which not only has the funky front clasp, but is quite padded. So I had to get from the front of church all the way to the restroom with my actual boobs free and uncaged, and with my extra padded boobs flapping out to the sides under my shirt. I sort of kept my hands glued to my sides and walked penguin-style to the restroom. So when I say the music at New Hope is good, I mean it's so good, it might make your bra fly right open!
