Dancing in sync with Him

I had an impromptu invitation to go dancing out of town that evening at The Broadmoor, a beautiful hotel in Colorado Springs. In my wildest Dancing with the Stars dreams, I couldn’t have conjured up a more perfect venue. We would be perched atop the city, with panoramic nighttime views from the intimate dance floor. Glitzy chandeliers would sparkle above us as a musical combo and singer serenaded us. And my dance partner for the evening was akin to Arthur Murray himself. Everything seemed perfect.

I had set aside a new purple dress, purchased months earlier with this dancing dream in mind. But I still had no shoes! In the small rural town where I lived, there were no shoe stores to be found. And specialized dance shoes, if they could be found, would surely blow my budget for the month. 

I spent the morning of the dance as I usually do—studying the Christian Science Bible Lesson. Immersing myself in its spiritual uplift, I like to let the Bible Lesson direct my plan for the day. After a good study and prayer session, I often receive a strong intuition to call so-and-so, follow up on some forgotten project, go here, or go there. I call it “the dance of God’s angel messages.” I don’t always know why or where these ideas are leading, but I’m learning to trust and follow them.
