Dance with God

Tanner sent me this email tonight. I had received it before but never really took the time to read it. Thanks Tanner!
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 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.

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 on 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.
And I Hope You Dance !

What a great way to think of the word Guidance and how true it is! We have to be willing to let God lead and not try to take over.

*I think I need to work harder at letting Him lead, especially in my physical realm. I so need to lose this extra weight and get my temple back into the shape that I know He wants it in. Oh Lord just let me be willing to let you lead in this one!
