I, too, was one of those highly imaginative children. I don't think I ever did the flag-waving, but I did love to dance and come up with unusual costumes, made up of bits and pieces of other things. I, too have synesthesia (I taste words, and see some numbers in color) I have always believed that synesthesia is one of the most remarkable gifts. It colors and flavors our world and makes it a lot more interesting. I think it is what allows children like us to be alone and not need to be constantly entertained by outside forces... we are our own entertainment!! I was obsessed with mermaids at a young age (I still love them) and I would play at being a mermaid for hours on end. Or I was a star in the sky, crossing the beautiful velvet-blue palette with the planets, who were my playmates. Anyway, thanks for the blog, I love it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139568196010596720.post-68904694368277163452011-11-24T04:19:18.726+00:002011-11-24T04:19:18.726+00:00I Worship with Banners at a Church I visit at time...I Worship with Banners at a Church I visit at times..they have several Banners I use when I don't have my own banners with me.. I have 6 Banners I made..they do not have designs yet..but the colors are orange, bright-green, red, yellow, white, and purple. I have them on strong sticks of wood.. God told me to make them with limited funds...and when I dance with them in the Spirit- I always feel the presence of God...it blesses me with time with God, and I know it blesses the atmosphere in the sanctuary!!..I also dance with tamborines..sometimes 1 or 2...sometimes on my head and move with the banners!! I made a Worship outfit on a sewing machine..my first one with the same fabric of the Banners...and I felt really Wonderful dancing before God with the Banners!! I also use a Shofar too in Worship as the Holy Spirit leads...and this I have understood changes the Atmosphere or the Strength of the Anointing when Blown on God's Command!! It is addicting--Dancing with Banners, tamborines, shofars, etc... I have tried playing a flute..and awww..it is a whole different level...and even a tom-tom...!!RadicallyLowlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04075256685928610089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139568196010596720.post-67629170357597873262011-11-18T19:41:45.417+00:002011-11-18T19:41:45.417+00:00I discovered flags and worship dance back in the 9...I discovered flags and worship dance back in the 90's in church. Worship has always been my passion, but to express it in such a physical, artistic way is wonderful. I never learned any of it, the moves and gestures just came to me, I "see" them (in a prophetic sense, on the inside) and my body just flows and follows. When the music starts I can't stay in my seat, I just have to go find a space and go for it. I'm not young and I'm not female, but that matters not, if God likes it then I like it. People who have the gift of seeing angels have commented how much they love to join in. At times the anointing of the Holy Spirit has been so strong that I might get to flag for a couple of moments and then fall to the floor under God's presence. I do know that my movements have a wordless, visual prophetic significance to them and like Eric Liddell, when I move, I feel His pleasure. It adds a fresh meaning to "loving God with all my strength".Paulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139568196010596720.post-48959226991294331592011-11-18T18:52:31.170+00:002011-11-18T18:52:31.170+00:00Hey,

Wow! I encourage you to move even if in slow motion if you can manage, with the flags! bless you, Alison :) www.freedomcolours.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139568196010596720.post-23459377869540044742011-11-18T17:52:18.432+00:002011-11-18T17:52:18.432+00:00Oh I loved reading this blog.

For me it was the birds and animals who were my companions. Even my 'toy' glass ornaments became so real and friends for me. I wasn't lonely with them but we were friends together.<br /><br />I love the freedom of what you've described in your flag waving and storytelling. Don't you think this is the childlike joy we're encouraged to recapture and imitate. Unselfconscious and abandoned, living in the moment.<br /><br />I sometimes find even now, when the body won't coooperate, that when I'm lost in worship, I can feel my spirit dancing before God in the most beautiful and outrageous movements. Roll on our new bodies! Perhaps we'll dance together in eternity - with flags waving. Now won't that be fun.CreativeKathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15024987341542068814noreply@blogger.com
