Keep on dancing

So I've been taking some dancing classes lately-trying to become the "dancing queen. " I've been paying the price for it too. I've had a pinched nerve in my right leg for about three weeks now, basically limping everywhere I go and feeling like an elderly woman.

So I've asked God why? I just wanna have fun with it and get good at something I've always liked to do. I think I've come to realize I actually wanna get good at dance, so people will look at me and be like "Wow, she's good!" (Kinda sick, but I'm sure if you look kind of deep in yourself, you'll find some of the same pride).

I've also finally noticed God likes to keep me humble, because it keeps me looking at Him. He is a whole lot more interesting than me. Most people don't recognize that dance is God's idea. He loves it. There is actually a verse in Zephaniah 3:17 that says "God will rejoice over us with singing. " That word rejoice in the Hebrew actually means to "spin around" and "dance with intense, even violent motion." Please don't tell me my God is boring, because I will not believe you.

If God wants to send some supernatural grace on my body to help me dance (not only have I been in pain, but I do tend towards downright clumsiness) that would be absolutely wonderful. If not, I'm gonna keep on dancing like those ladies shaking their barn skirts around and teaching Grade 3's how to do that, cos it just brings joy

I love dance from different countries. The pictures show some dancers from China (in the Green) and Kazakhstan (in the pink). [I haven't seen the movie Borat, but I must say Kazakhstan does win the prize in my mind for having beautiful dancing ladies and costumes].
