DANCE

DANCE

After missing a few FMF's, due to getting ready for our India trip... I write my piece of the word here, from India... a few hours after the engagement ceremony of my sister in law. Here is my Five Minute Friday on a Saturday....

GO
In our church here in India, a couple before marriage is required to finish a few hours of counselling sessions with lessons and an exam. My sister in law picked up a very interesting point. God did not create an Eve, Hannah, or Esther  (names doesn't matter). He just created one Eve. Why didn't He give Adam a choice to pick up a wife and a helper from a queue of girls? God knows that Eve was meant to be Adam's wife and helper.... bone of my bones.. flesh of my flesh(Gen 2:23). That was a relief to my sister in law, that this person that she was going to marry is God's chosen one for her and that her parents prayers were answered in showing only His one to them.

To follow God's voice and to act upon it, we have to be that synchronized partner in following His every  lead in this" life dance"... God's journey for  us here on this earth. We being "we", and having the assumption that we can also come up with our own dance steps, using  the "free will card", end up stepping on God's feet. Hurting Him by our choices and falling off the sequence of events God has planned for us. God being our Abba Father, holds onto us tightly, never letting us go, holding our feet on His. He picks up on those faulty steps  and turns them into beautiful movements. 


Follow His lead.... and enjoy the "life dance" He has set for us.

Do you see it?

Five minutes on Friday... Here we GO

Having a kid old enough to be your extended arm ,when you feel lazy to pick something up is awesome. Many times I use Benjamin to get me something from upstairs, when I am lazy to get it myself. But sometimes its more of an effort to tell him where it is. He just doesn't see it , when its right in front of him.

I am sure God feels like me most times when he is trying to show me something.Look Manju, its right here! Don't you see it? This is what you asked for...stop whining and look!Here is the answer! Open your eyes!

Often God needs to force our attention to His wonderful provision.

See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland. Isaiah 43:19
