I received this in an e-mail today, and wanted to share it. I pray it is as timely for you as it was for me!
When I meditated on the word Guidance, I kept seeing 'dance' at the end of the word and 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 and 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.

That is so cool!
'I hope you dance' is a song that touched my heart years ago. My prayer to God is 'I hope we dance, Lord'. b
That is really insightful. I will ponder how much I like to lead. No wonder I'm not getting anywhere.
Amazingly deep thinking today. Loved it. I understood & everything (LOL!). May we all let God lead in our life dance.
i got the same email last week, and felt so moved by it!
