I totally love shows like dancing with the stars. I love the rythmic gymnastics in the Olympic games - I could watch people dance for hours. Modern dance has lead to hip-hop, and jazz and other genres - and I certainly love watching a good, clean dance piece.
Well, in my recent 'journey' - I realised that not having the opportunity to dance as a little girl - (the finance being one reason, and having an 'unlikely' dance figure being the other) - had actually left a bit of a hole in me. Quite a big one.
A part of me, in need of redemption - by the Lover of my Soul.
Now I'm a rather out-going person, but to
So in this journey of freedom finding - I have discovered something - I can dance like a six year old - in front of my Daddy (Jesus) - and He thinks I'm LOVELY!!!!!
I have long thought that if the church could just get FREE and dance before our King - maybe we'd do better than the night clubs at reaching people. We need people who are FREE, (who don't need a dose of liquor in them) - just loving God and loving themselves & each other.
Young people just LOVE to dance. Most people just LOVE to dance.
Friday night youth - yes - I danced...
Sunday morning church - yes I danced...with ribbons! mind you, I had two beautiful, FREE, 6 year olds standing beside me, ribbons in hand, not caring what the 300 or so other people in the room thought.
Was it fun - HECK YES!!!! Did it make my God smile - HECK YES!!!! and I couldn't help but laugh when I got a very approving grin from the other side of the room - my Daddy in law.
So God is redeeming this area of my heart - where this unlikely young woman in the eyes of the world - looks at the face of my Creator - and JUST WANTS TO DANCE.
I am DANCING - and loving every moment.
Perhaps my next shopping expedition will be looking for tights & a tutu.
