Dancing with God
When I meditated on the word GUIDANCE, I kept seeing
"dance" at the end of
the word. I remember reading that doing God's will
is a lot like dancing.
When two people try to lead, nothing feels right.
The movement doesn't flow
with the music; and everything is quite
uncomfortable and jerky. When one
person realizes that and lets the other lead, both
bodies begin to flow with
the music. One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a
gentle nudge to the body
or by pressing lightly in one direction or another.
It's as if two become
one body, moving beautifully. The dance takes
surrender, willingness, and
attentiveness from one person and gentle guidance
and skill from the other.
My eyes drew back to the work "GUIDANCE". When I
saw "G" I thought of God,
followed by "u" and "i". "God," "u," "i," "dance."
God, you and I dance.
As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust that
I would get guidance
about my life. Once again, I became willing to let
God lead.
My prayer for you today is that God's blessings and
mercies be upon you this
day and everyday. May you abide in God as God
abides in you.
Dance together with God, trusting God to lead and to
guide you through each
season of your life.
"I HOPE YOU DANCE!!!!!!!!!!"
I Hope You Dance
lyrics by Lee Ann Womack
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat
But always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give fate a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances
But they're worth taking
Lovin' might be a mistake
But it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart
Leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out
Reconsider
Give the heavens above
More than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
Time is a wheel in constant motion always
Rolling us along
Tell me who
Wants to look back on their youth and wonder
Where those years have gone
I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give fate a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
Dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
