I have been hearing the word “dance” everywhere and anywhere the past few months. I love dancing, BUT I will also quickly admit that I am nowhere near the best dancer in all of the Earth. You might possibly see me dance and think that I have absolutely nothing in me (haha). But honestly, I don’t care whether I am a “good dancer” or a “bad dancer”. I just have a passion for dancing and I desire to share it with others (even if that brings me way out of my comfort zone). It’s a form of worship that I loooove to partake in. It’s a way that I worship my King. Normally though, this happens when I am alone in my room at home.
“Dance with me,” was repeated over and over again in the depths of my heart. “But God, I haven’t taken dance lessons in yeaarrrrs!” came a quick response from mouth. “Dance with me,” came the soft, patient & understanding voice again and again and again. I cried out, “But I don’t know any of the steps…How am I supposed to do this?..” He responded, “You don’t need to know the steps, just hop on top of my toes and dance with me. I will lead you, so no need to be worried.”
So there I stood in a small, hot, open-aired pavilion in the middle of White, Georgia with 150 strangers that I met just days before.
I stepped up on to Jesus’ toes, and I danced with Him. It was one of the most beautiful things I have ever done. I was in the middle of a crowd of strangers, but I didn’t care. They were so engulfed in their King as well, they weren’t even paying attention to what I was doing. It wasn’t me dancing anyways…it was Jesus dancing. I was just along for the ride on His big beautiful toes as He embraced me, held me close, and led me in a beautiful dance. All I had to do was stand on His feet and wrap my arms around His neck. It felt so right and so pure and so humble. I loved it!
Saying all of that, I have this vision and I wanted to share it with you because I am really excited about the possibility… 🙂
I would love to teach dance lessons to young girls all over throughout the world. Yes, you might be thinking, –and you are very right– that I do not know the correct terminology of specific dance moves and all of that. But if that is important, I am very willing to learn these things because this is the desire of my heart.
Really, all I want to do is to dance with them…whatever that looks like. I want to see them be free and move their body in gentle swift beautiful princess motions as their Prince twirls them in lovely circles. I want them to know that they [including YOU!] don’t have to know the steps, they just have to hop on to their Daddy’s toes and He will carry them in the most beautiful dance of their lives.
I am not sure what this looks like and will look like. I would love to take this dream with me on the race and hope that God will provide opportunities. Maybe it will be fulfilled in every single country as I dance with young girls from all over the world…formal or not. Or maybe perhaps this is a vision of what my ministry will look like in my future for young girls and women, especially those coming out of the sex trade. Even though I am no professional at dancing, it is such a stress reliever and freedom-bringer to me and I enjoy it so much. How awesome would it be to relieve some bondage and bring freedom to these girls’ lives too?!!
I want beautiful ballerina toes and I desire to share them with other daughters of God who are loved by The King!
