Dancing With God

My mother sent me this and I was thinking as I was reading it, how wonderful it would be to just let God lead and to dance with Him through all of our trials. Because with Him all things are possible and He will never leave us on the dance floor.

This is amazing that someone even though of this!

Dancing With God

When I meditated on the word Guidance,
I kept seeing "dance" at the end of the word.
I remember reading that doing God's will is a lot like dancing.
When two people try to lead, nothing feels right.
The movement doesn't flow with the music,
and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky.
When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead,
both bodies begin to flow with the music.
One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back
or by pressing Lightly in one direction or another.
It's as if two become one body, moving beautifully.
The dance takes surrender, willingness,
and attentiveness from one person
and gentle guidance and skill from the other.
My eyes drew back to the word Guidance.
When I saw "G": I thought of God, followed by "u" and "i".
"God, "u" and "i" dance."
God, you, and I dance.
As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust
that I would get guidance about my life.
Once again, I became willing to let God lead.
My prayer for you today is that God's blessings
and mercies are upon you on this day and everyday.
May you abide in God, as God abides in you.
Dance together with God, trusting God to lead
and to guide you through each season of your life.
This prayer is powerful and there is nothing attached.
If God has done anything for you in your life,
please share this message with someone else.
There is no cost but a lot of rewards;
so let's continue to pray for one another.
And I Hope You Dance !

HEY! Check this out!!!!!

I found this hot dog cooker right after I read Brandi's blog. How bizarre is that!

Mason eats hot dogs nuked for precisely 8 seconds. yuk

I like mine any way except burned, with mustare, relish, kraut, onions and cheese.

Mike won't eat them. Party pooper.

Just kidding, Honey.

A little of what is going on

I have been really busy for someone who does not have a job anymore.
My boss at Gregory Custom Homes came into my office on Wednesday last week and told me he was going to have to let me go. He said he had more going out than coming in so he could not afford to keep me there. So after 5 years with the same company, I am now free to pursue other ventures.

So far, since I have been "unemployed", I have filed for unemployment benefits, had lunch with my husband two days in a row, bid three jobs and met the new construction manager for a company we do some fire and water restoration for.

I have not really had time to get bored yet and I know God has set this time aside for me to start treatment. Not sure exactly when that will be, as my Dr is leaving Texas at the end of October and I will probably have to start all over with another Dr. Pray this occurs soon.

God is good in all things and He will take care of all the "loose ends" we seem to see in our lives.
He blesses us richly everyday.

Just a friendly reminder.

Heavenly Father, Help us remember that the jerk who cut us off in traffic last night is a single mother who worked nine hours that day and is rushing home to cook dinner, help with homework, do the laundry and spend a few precious moments with her children.
Help us to remember that the pierced, tattooed, disinterested young man who can't make change correctly is a worried 19-year-old college student, balancing his apprehension over final exams with his fear of not getting his student loans for next semester.
Remind us, Lord, that the scary looking bum, begging for money in the same spot every day (who really ought to get a job!) is a slave to addictions that we can only imagine in our worst nightmares.
Help us to remember that the old couple walking annoyingly slow through the store aisles and blocking our shopping progress are savoring this moment, knowing that, based on the biopsy report she got back last week, this will be the last year that they go shopping together .
Heavenly Father, remind us each day that, of all the gifts you give us, the greatest gift is love. It is not enough to share that love with those we hold dear. Open our hearts not to just those who are close to us, but to all humanity. Let us be slow to judge and quick to forgive, show patience, empathy and love.
