To come and dance

Have you ever walked into a room and not one person turned their head?

I have.

Have you ever tried to be a friend to all and found yourself alone?

I have.

Have you ever wondered if people like you, if they think your real or if they think your a fool?

I have.

It's some un-godly hour in my home at the moment. But, It is quite for the first time in hours! This house has had more noise than should be allowed in one day! In fact, not even the refrigerator is humming at the moment.

Silence is golden!


Or so I thought...

Through the silence, these questions have been on my mind for the last few hours. I've tossed and turned in my bed. I've stared at the shadows on my wall. I've fluffed the pillow a hundred times. Turned the TV on and off, on and off. I've thought of my "to do" list over and over.

And yet, these questions still lay in my soul stirring. So I got up, and God said, "Let's talk."

It's funny how just a few nights ago I was telling a room full of women how we long to be validated, to be wanted, to be noticed...and here I am, in the quiet, still place asking myself these very questions again!

The woman's soul...it's a confusing place to be, wouldn't you agree God?

(He's laughing hysterically right now)

We want so badly to be the one God picks! We want so badly for our dreams to come true! We want to get off the wall and start dancing...yet there is so much that can hold us back.

So when do we start dancing?

Dancing has always been so awkward for me. I want to get out there and bust a move, I want to shag like there's no tomorrow and I so want to know how to do the Cha Cha Slide!

But what if I don't have the right moves? What if I look like a fool? What if I'm the only one on the dance floor? What if none of my friends think my dance is cool?

Or even worse God... what if I fall flat on my face?

How can I take my God's hand and start spinning around and around, if I don't know these moves. They aren't familiar to me. At all.

But the King has reminded me, He knows these moves. He's got every step down to a "T". He's paid for my ticket to the ball. And, He's picked out some really cool dancing shoes for me too. He's got the lead.

He's asked me to come...to come and dance the dance of my life with...Him. It's a dance of faith, trust, forgiveness, truth and love.


But it's not an easy dance. There are going to be some tricky steps, times I might just fall! And something might just might be...broken.


And God's asking, "Are you up for this challenge?"

Oh sweet God, "I just want to honor you, so yes, I am ready. When do we begin?"

And my King just held out his hand and said, "When the music plays. When the music...plays."

"You and I are invited to dance in His Arms just because of His mercy and grace. No previous experience required. Free dancing lessons to everyone who would believe He is True. The music has already started. Just follow His lead." -Angela Thomas

"Listen O daughter, consider and give ear; Forget your people and your father's house. The king is enthralled by your beauty; honor him, for he is your Lord." -Psalm 45:10-11
