Psalms 30:11
You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy.
I have always enjoyed dance since I was little. I thank God for having had the opportunity to do a few years of classical ballet as a child, in middle school hip hop, modern dance, then as an adult a course of belly dance and christian choreographic dance. In my private life I loved dancing, it was a joy and an it helped me vent.
It's my favorite sport.
A few years ago I had an accident which affected my arm and shoulders. At first I couldn't lift my right arm. The physiotherapist had to do it for me. I felt ants in my arms, then thank God they disappeared with physiotherapy but I had assumed a "protective" posture which kept my shoulders higher than necessary. The pain, the lack of fluid movement in my arm and the stiffness of my shoulders it demoralized me so I stopped dancing. It's been about 2-3 years. Now I am able to play bowling (before I didn't have the strength and it hurt physically), I can move my arm more fluidly and through stretching I am regaining my strength as well as feeling my shoulders soften.
It's incredible how something that used to be a habit for me is now something I have to regain.
For a few months I have had this impression that the Lord is calling me to dance. I happen to be reading in vision "Dance now" and it was a process for me.
I sometimes felt very discouraged by the rigidity of my movements but as I began to dance, the Lord began to move in me with peace and serenity. Even joy.💖
I then started to notice that He often asks me to dance when I'm scared. Why? Because instead of making myself small and holding myself tight, with dance I have to open up, take up space and fill the place around me. In those moments I have the impression of "taking authority" over the place and peace fills my soul. Fear goes away and is replaced by tranquility. Then I notice that I rejoice in these achievements of the Lord in me.💪🦅💖
One morning I woke up with the strong feeling of having to dance and so I did. Such joy grew inside me that it was incredible! It was So big that it filled my soul and filled me with such a unique and powerful joy that I have never experienced before!😃💖🕊
It's something I would like to experience again💖
While on another occasion, I saw an image of a gesture to make and so I imitated it. In doing so I felt the strong presence of the Lord filling my heart with peace.💖 I felt free and graceful.💖
LI didn't know it was possible to experience God like this, with dance💖 and with such joy😃💖
So I share it with you🙂 may the Lord show Himself to you, in your life, in a new way through dance💖 may God cover you with His peace and joy as you dance in His presence. You are loved, protected and precious. May the Lord bless you and bring you healing through the freedom of dancing in Him. In the name of Jesus, Hallelujah! Amen😃🙏🏻🥰💖🕊
