dance. just dance. don't ask questions, just move. don't keep putting it off, just do something. don't worry about roommates waking up and watching you, just start some kind of movement. even though it's been a while, just dance. these are the thoughts i battled this morning as i woke up super early to a dark house while everyone else is still sleeping.
most of you know that dance has been a part of my life for over 10 years. this morning was the first time i have revisited dance in a couple of years. dance is a form of communication for me between myself and the Lord. there is something about movement that resonates with a completely different part of my being that allows me to feel and express things differently than with words or actions. i know this is starting to sound a bit modern or weird, but bottom line is i love dance. i love expression and movement. i love different ways of communication.
so i got over my thoughts this morning and decided to move. to dance. good decision. for the next hour and a half, i was immersed into turns and jumps all the while listening to shawn mcdonald and christy nockels. all of this was summed up by a convicting prayer time with the lord where i said "god, im prone to wander away from you. yet you know that and you still choose to chase after me. thank you for your unconditional love. make me responsive to your holy spirit who convicts, comforts, and encourages me."
pray that same prayer for yourself and stay committed to being sensitive to the spirit.
