Dance, Dance, Dance

Last weekend our (formerly) shy, wee and premature daughter took the dance stage with her head reaching for the stars and her smile wide as the Grand Canyon! Her parents (that's me and Eric) were stunned!

Now that she's had a taste of the lights and 'the show' excitement, I do believe she is hooked. Fall classes cannot start soon enough for her.

Most of all Diana was completely swayed by technology new to her: glitter hairspray! "We must get some, Momma!" was her command.

My daughter has joined an ancient, beloved tradition of manipulating her body in time to music so as to join the heavens in celebration of all that is good in life. Especially celebrating the Giver of all Good- our God. Our tiny little dancer, unbeknown to her, is a Psalmist, a wisdom sayer, and a prophetess as much as she is a glitter wearing diva! Just look at the evidence in scripture!

Praise God with tambourines and dancing;

Praise God with stringed instruments and flutes. Psalm 150:4 NCV

There is a time to be sad and a time to dance. Ecclesiastes 3:4b NCV

Then, Aaron's sister Miriam, a prophetess, took a tambourine in her hand. All the women followed her, playing tambourines and dancing. Exodus 15:20 NCV

May you dance with happy feet unto the Giver of all Good Things!
