My journey with God has reminded me somewhat of learning to dance ~ which the title of my blog implies. I cannot say I really know how to put this into words so that it’s understandable to anyone but me–then today I came across an email of what it might be like to dance with God. The following captured my attention and so beautifully expresses what our journey looks like as we willingly learn to trust and surrender to the gentle and skillful guidance of God ~ this God whose love and passion is for us!
May you learn to dance!

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.
“You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing…” Psalm 30:11
That is a great analogy!

A friend emailed “Dancing with God.” I love that thought and have decided to use it for the next women’s group meeting at church. I know they’ll be blessed as much as I was.
Hello Doreen,
I am excited you plan to use “Dancing With God” for your women’s group. I am certain they too will be blessed!
God’s best for each of you!
