(If you didn't read it yet, my blog explains.) Do you think you're able to explain to her how much the dance means to me? Or will she already understand?<br /><br />Would you also tell her that I pray for her and for her parents?<br /><br />Thanks, Billy. God wants us all to dance until the dance is done.

I was flipping through my old journals over the past couple days and found an entry about my husband and my daughter at dance. And I've also recently retold my experience last March when God spoke clearly to my heart about our dance together. This just adds more awe and wonder in my heart about how close and precious is the LOVE of our God. And yes, He loves the dance. I've heard the same word myself.<br /><br />Thankful for your willingness to pen such intimate moments with us. They are life giving, they promote deeper thought and they point to God. Our Lead in life's dance!<br /><br />Bless you. <br /><br />Tiffany Interesting you reposted this again.

It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.” I know where your coming from. With eight parts of my heart(and then some) walking around in the world, I have days where I wonder what I was thinking? If I can do this? <br />But I will "dance" until the "dance" is done because God loves the dance. Thank you for sharing what God shares with you.<br />God's peace,<br />Lori Elizabeth Stone says, “Making the decision to have a child is momentous.

My daughter did it as well, from three years until eleven, when her teacher dropped off the face of the planet. (?) <br /><br />I can so relate to your comment, 'To be a parent or a spouse is to have your fears magnified. You have much, and so you have much to lose.' <br /><br />When I was single, I did not really care what happened to me, but now, the weight of caring for a whole family, well, I've been doing some learning from the Lord about giving those burdens to Him.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this post.

When I was single, I did not really care what happened to me, but now, the weight of caring for a whole family, well, I’ve been doing some learning from the Lord about giving those burdens to Him.

Thanks for sharing this post.
