I am inspired by this woman. I was led to her blog by Mike. She’s a single mother of two young girls and she’s fighting an uphill battle against melanoma. Please pray for her and her family, and check out her blog for yourself at www.kcjlane.blogspot.com
Just in case you’re not a blogsurfer, here is her most recent post:
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 be 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.
Prayer is one of the best gifts we can receive.
There is no cost but lots of rewards; so let’s continue to pray for one another.
i hope you dance…and let Him lead!

Great post. I’m really sorry I’m going out of town when Benny’s going to be in San Antonio, but I’m very excited for Northside.
Also, thanks for the comment today. I’ve been thinking about hope for the past couple of weeks and I appreciate your definition. I’m having a conversation tonight with a friend and I hope it will go well…I’ll let you know.
