Dear Friends:
I received this message this morning (not supernaturally, but from a friend...). I thought I'd share:
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 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 !!!!!!!!!!!!

Interesting that you and I can dance with God. What happens when we both try to lead? Exactly. We need God to lead, which requires submission to His will, on both of our part. Three dancing, quite a concept. Well, let's. Forget all pre-conceived notions, and focus on the dance.

Dear Rayww -
So nice to hear from you!
Yes, let's focus on the dance. Letting God lead, of course.
A-one-two-three, off we go (I imagine that God would waltz, don't you?)!
Wheeeeeeeeee!!!
Shalom, Dena
