| If I were to title the last 10 months, I would call it "Learning How to DANCE". What is a person to do when life throws the unexpected? My insides can feel like they are being twisted and tied up with even little things like locking my key in the car at 12am on a holiday, being stranded at the airport instead of Family Christmas, disrespect from a cashier, or my car breaking down. I become aware of my vulnerability to my own humanness, things that I can't figure out (my car), weather, or other peoples choices, etc. More recently, it felt like bigger things such as not knowing if my friends were alive in the China earthquake, my Dad passed away in May and a 3 week notice to leave my apartment in July (PTL that got resolved). In the heat of the moment, I cry out to God and say this is too much!!!! I don't have enough faith for the test. Eventually, peace comes and I start seeing his wisdom regarding my heart and his deep love for me in spite of the circumstances. I think He's asking me to DANCE. When He steps left, I step left. When He steps right, I step right. When He tells me to wait for the music, I wait. (never know if it is going to be cha, cha (sp.?) or slow dance). The song that plays "I hope you dance" was given to me by a friend on my Birthday as a wish and a blessing for the coming year. I think it is coming true. I'm feeling the joy of staying in rhythm with my Saviour, Jesus Christ. 
Let me laugh more than cry Let me dream more than fret Let me praise more than criticize Let me dance more than sit Let me love like Jesus. |
