Are You Dancing With God?
G U I D A N C E - 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 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. This prayer is powerful and there is nothing attached. If God has done anything for you in your life, please share this message with someone else. Interceding in prayer is one of the best gifts we can receive. There is no cost but a lot of rewards; so let's continue to pray for one another. And I Hope You Dance.................!

The Sun Will Shine Again
I've never made a fortune, and it's probably too late now.
But I don't worry about that much, I'm happy anyhow
And as I go along life's way,I'm reaping better than I sowed.
I'm drinking from my saucer,'Cause my cup has overflowed.
Haven't got a lot of riches,And sometimes the going's tough
But I've got loving ones all around me, and that makes me rich enough.
I thank God for his blessings, and the mercies He's bestowed.
I'm drinking from my saucer, 'cause my cup has overflowed.
I remember times when things went wrong, my faith wore somewhat thin.
But all at once the dark clouds broke, and the sun peeped through again .

God Opens Doors No One Can Close
When God leads you to the edge of the cliff, trust Him fully and let go;
Only 1 of 2 things will happen, either He'll catch you when you fall,
Or He'll teach you how to fly! 'The power of one sentence!
God closes doors no man can open & God opens doors no man can close.
Have a blessed day and remember to be a blessing...

Life Is A Theater
Life is a theater - invite your audience carefully.
Not everyone is holy enough and healthy enough to have a front row seat in our lives.
There are some people in your life that need to be loved from a distance. It's amazing
what you can accomplish when you let go, or at least minimize your time with draining,
negative, incompatible, not-going-anywhere relationships/friendships/fellowships!
Observe the relationships around you. Pay attention to: Which ones lift and which
ones lean? Which ones encourage and which ones discourage? Which ones are on a
path of growth uphill and which ones are going downhill? When you leave certain
people, do you feel better or feel worse? Which ones always have drama or don't
really understand, know and appreciate you and the gift that lies within you?
The more you seek God and the things of God -- the more you seek quality, the
more you seek not just the hand of God but the face of God - the more you seek
things honorable -- the more you seek growth, peace of mind, love and truth around
you, the easier it will become for you to decide who gets to sit in the FRONT ROW
and who should be moved to the balcony of your life.
You cannot change the people around you... but you can change the people you are
around! Ask God for wisdom and discernment and choose wisely the people who sit
in the front row of your life.

The Battle Is Not Ours
The battle is not ours, we look to God above,
For He will guide us safely through, and guard us with His love.
I will not be afraid, I will not run and hide,
For there is nothing I can't face, when God is at my side.
For He will guide us safely through, and guard us with His love.
I will not be afraid, I will not run and hide,
For there is nothing I can't face, when God is at my side.

You Are Never Alone
Do you feel the waters rising
That would try to overtake your soul?
There is one who will be there for you,
And will keep you safe in the fold.
No flood shall overtake you
If in his arms you remain,
He calmed yesterday's troubled waters,
Today, He can still do the same.
He still walks on the waters,
In the midst of all your storms,
And he still speaks "peace be still",
As he keeps you safe from harm.
Though life has many problems,
And everyone has cares along the way,
If we lean on the arms of Jesus,
There will always be a better day.

You Are Blessed!
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million who won't survive the week.
If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture or the pangs of starvation, you are ahead of 20 million people around the world.
If you attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death, you are more blessed than almost three billion people in the world.
If you have food in your refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof over your head
And a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this world.
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.
If your parents are still married and alive, you are very rare,
Especially in the United States.
If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful, you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.
If you can hold someone's hand, hug them or even touch them on the shoulder, you are blessed because you can offer God's healing touch.
If you can read this message, you are more blessed than over two billion people
In the world that cannot read anything at all.
You are so blessed in more ways than you may even know.
Pass it on to someone else today.
