Dancing with God*

When I meditated on the word GUIDANCE,

I was drawn to "dance" at the end of the word.

I reflected upon how 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 this and lets the other lead,

both bodies begin to flow with the music.

One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back

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 word GUIDANCE.

When I saw "G," I thought of God,

followed by "u" and "i."

"God, "u", and "i" dance."

God, you, and I dance.

This statement is what guidance means to me.

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 and your family on this day and everyday.

May you abide in Him as He abides in you.

Dance together with God, trusting Him to lead

and to guide you through each season of your life.
I Hope You Dance!

Dance with Me*

Dance with me, O lover of my soul

To the song of all songs

Romance me, O lover of my soul

To the song of all songs

Behold He has come

over the hills upon the mountains

To me You have run,

my Beloved,

You have captured my heart

Dance with me, O lover of my soul

To the song of all songs

Romance me, O lover of my soul

To the song of all songs

With You I will go,

You are my love,

my fair One

The winter has passed

And springtime has come!

Dance with me, O lover of my soul

To the song of all songs

Romance me, O lover of my soul

To the song of all songs
