I'm not much of a dancer, but I have watched dancing with the stars if that counts. I don't know "bus stop" or "superman." It's even hard for me to follow the directions of a square dance caller, I mean what exactly is "a-dossie-doe." I imagine when I do dance it looks more like Elaine from Seinfeld than Justin Timberlake, but man is it fun to let it go and move.
I recently read a book where our relationship with God was described as a dance with the Father, Son, and Spirit. The author explained that through Christ we have been invited into this amazing dance with God. That He created us to share in the communion life of the Trinity. I don't want to hash out all the details of the book, but how cool would it be to change our language from our "walk with the Lord" to our "dance with the Trinity." Walking involves putting one foot in front of the other, but dance involves twirls, dips, swinging, shaking, etc. We learn to walk when shortly after we are born and even take it for granted, but we have to include all of our facilities into dancing, (listening, coordination, paying attention, moving in different directions all at once). Here's another thing I know about dancing there has to be a rhythm and someone has to lead.
I have found a rhythm in reading scripture, music, community, conversation, prayer, serving, and with the Spirit leading me these things have become really sweet.
I don't know what sets the rhythm in your life, i just encourage you to find it, when you do let the Spirit lead you and dance, dance, dance!!!
