A Dancer said: I Don’t Know How to be a Christian.
Now these words came from someone I regard as walking very closely to God. What she meant was that as a dance/choreographer she was confused as to how to be a christian dancer/choreographer. She asked another christian dance person and that person’s reply was, “that’s a silly question. Just be yourself.”
Dances don’t have to tell a Christian story, use Christian music or be overt, to be from God and for God. More often than not it is how we live our lives as Christians that makes the impact. Dance is an opening a chance to provoke thought and allow others to ask questions. There are many ways to make that happen.
Once again we return to the fact that we are all children of God and dance is something we do (not who we are, we are still just like any other person), it is our gift from God and our tool. We all put ourselves into our dancing and our work, so by being herself her love of God would naturally permeate her work, and especially the way she worked.
So for God to be obvious in our lives we need that intimacy with Him. I read on a prophetic website that there is to be a break-though in intimacy with God. So believe it and claim it and get close to God.




Dying to self.
Part I:
I said, “… this is so hard. I’m so confused I feel like a tree that’s been wrapped over by a climbing vine and the two are so intertwined I don’t know what to discard and what to keep”.
The fact is it isn’t a one shot deal. When we accept Christ we are immediately redeemed, but the dying of the old self isn’t immediate.
“That is why it is a daily process”, was E’s reply, “each day we wake up and figure out what to discard and what to keep. Keep, discard, discard, keep, keep, discard …”. Everyday we seek God’s guidance, perhaps that’s what keeps us close to Him.
Part II:
C shared that everyone always says that dying to self is so hard, particularly for dancers, because it is always about “me”, it’s so carnal, and self-centered. And yet, dying to self is the biggest blessing, particularly for dancers, because we always think we’re not good enough. We’re always striving for perfection, we’re always trying to change ourselves, how we eat, how we look, how we move… We’ll never be good enough - if we keep judging ourselves. Let God be the Judge.
When you see yourself through His eyes, when you die to yourself, you can finally be where you belong.
When you find confidence in your true identity, when you relax into God’s love, (you let go of false expectations and allow God’s visions for you become reality) you can move past your limitations and produce something truly beautiful.
