It's amazing how one touch from the King can chase away self-consciousness and replace it with a steady-focused gaze on Him.<br /><br />Yes, dancing with Jesus through life's storms and calms, keeping synchronized, passionate steps with the Lover of my soul is my goal.<br /><br />"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...it's about learning to dance in the rain."

How to not feel like I "have to" accomplish all of these things that maybe He didn't even want to me to do in the first place. Thanks for your post! Blessings!

I want to leave some words ...I love this analogy! <br /><br />I want to leave some words of encouragement for Crown of Beauty:<br /><br />I believe if you have the desire to learn to dance beautifully, then the Lord will allow you to live out the dream. My life is living proof of this. My biggest dream had to do with dance - specifically ballet. I took dance lessons as a young girl and in college. But by the age of 20 I gave into the voice I heard telling me I was no good at it. In fact I felt so much like you described, like I was stiff and rigid. I gave up my dream and didn't dance (ballet) for 18 years until God opened a door for me. I now teach dance (tap and ballet) to girls.<br /><br />NOTHING is impossible with God (Luke 1:37)! I believe the Lord is inviting you to dance both spiritually and in the natural. I say: "GO for your dancing dreams!"<br /><br />AmyAmyhttp://dancingdreamer.christianblogsites.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7134116388719375338.post-6006689857977318082009-05-16T21:14:00.000-04:002009-05-16T21:14:00.000-04:00I loved this post, because I love dance...I rememb...I loved this post, because I love dance...I remember taking some lessons when I was an international student and how hard it was to allow my partner to lead--we Trini gals like to move to the tune of our beat!-but when I learnt that my partner's hand on my back gently yet firmly guided me, or spun me..it was so beautiful...and it is also about 'trust' in your partner to make you look good too...<br /><br />and I see 'dance' everywhere...in the movie Earth recently, I saw the dance of life and what an amazing Choreographer..I fell in love with God all over again...<br />watching that...<br /><br />Julie, I pray that you feel His Hand gently and firmly guiding you into the grace of a dance with Him...listen to The Lord of the Dance when you can..it always transports me to heaven...<br /><br />Love, SitaSitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00092520641097913897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7134116388719375338.post-62488845172535675092009-05-16T18:42:00.000-04:002009-05-16T18:42:00.000-04:00This was a beautiful message and timely for me tod...This was a beautiful message and timely for me today....I just came from my granddaughter's ballet recital. The ballet company is Christian based and the girls dance for the glory of the Lord. Their final selection today was about "Dancing for the King", which goes so well with your post.

A little thing I once read about the intricacies and beauty in dancing, and how one must learn to follow the others guidance or it's not beautiful. The author of this little devotional ended with a little something about the word "Guidance" that touched me.<br /><br />Guidance is:<br />God, U and I DANCE.<br /><br />:-)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00487893990781399211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7134116388719375338.post-43071290201110221322009-05-15T21:50:00.000-04:002009-05-15T21:50:00.000-04:00Dancing is one thing I was never good at.

I probably could have learned to be a good dancer if I was trained at a young age -- my limbs could have learned to sway gracefully and be more flexible in my movements. When I try to dance I am rigid and stiff. Sigh!<br /><br />I loved your post, understandably!<br /><br />I know that in heaven I will be a graceful dancer. Or who knows, someday, I may still be able to do it. For the king.<br /><br />Thank you for your insights again. Jesus is the dance instructor who knows all the moves. He is leading us in the dance.

Yes, I wonder how different our dance would be if we really trusted and gave it our all. I want to dance with Jesus and abandon myself to His perfect will, no matter what.
