The Dance

I've recently discovered that my walk with God isn't exactly a walk, it's more of a dance. God wants to take the lead and move me to the rhythm of His grace. However, there are times when it is hard for me to allow Him to lead because I want to go a different direction than He wants to take me, or He wants to dip me into His will and I'm just not ready or willing. When I try to take the lead I mess up the dance and make my life look like a one legged ostrich on crack doing the hokey pokey to the musical stylings of Neil Diamond. Even though I do mess up the dance, God wants to make my life as beautiful as it possibly can be. Isn't it awesome to think that God loves me so much that He wants to dance with me everyday for the rest of my life. I love to dance, so this is a beautiful thought for me. With that...I'm out like that one legged ostrich in a dance competition.

nothing against good ol' Neil, I was just emphasizing the awkwardness of the dance...I mean really a one legged ostrich on crack dancing the hokey pokey to Neil Diamond. you must admit, that would be pretty awkward.

I too enjoy a Neil Diamond song every so often. He doesn't get the respect he deserves...j/k.

Glad I could be a part of you learning this...just don't tell anyone that I dance every now and again...it's a secret

That's why I chose to leave you out of the blog itself...I figured you wanted to keep that secret. I got you on the DL ;-)
