It’s Friday! I’m half way through Summer of 7 and I feel like dancing! Thanks to Lisa-Jo Baker and the community at 5 Minute Friday.
I’ve always heard life’s a dance. And more and more I’m believing it.
It’s like the Texas two-step, coupled with a slow waltz, topped off with a little bit of hip-hop. Oh yeah, life’s like the cha-cha.
To the right now
To the left
Take it back now y’all
One hop this time, one hop this time
Right foot two stomps
Left foot two stomps
Slide to the left
Slide to the right
Criss cross, criss cross
Cha cha real smooth
Someone once told me that when you ask God for guidance, you are asking to dance with Him. Their acronymn for guidance was:
G- God
U- you &
I- I
DANCE – dance, yeah baby!
I’ve been dancing lately. There’s been a lot of leaning in and following the Leader. There’s been turns, hops, slides and twirls. There’s even been some reverse, reverse!
Turn it out
To the left
Take it back now y’all
One hop this time
One hop this time
Reverse (reverse)
Slide to the left
Slide to the right
Reverse, reverse
Reverse, reverse
Dancing with God is an adventure. I love the cha-cha . . . slide to the left, reverse, take it low, do the basic steps, how low can you go . . .
Won’t you join me?
It’s time to get funky.
If you just aren’t in the mood, check out this song for the Cha-Cha Slide.
Come on y’all – everybody hit the floor!

Oh, this made me LAUGH!!! This was our most recent dance party song with my kiddos and it is ridiculously FUN! Love the Guidance acronym. And life is indeed a dance!
Fun post- thank you!!!
Positively Alene says
You make me smile. It is a great dance. Fun! And what I love about it is that it calls out the steps to you. I do pretty good when I hear the calls loud and clear. Oh if only my LORD would take to me that clearly! Blessings girl.

I love this analogy! I never realized how much like life that song really is! :) Awesome and fun post!
Positively Alene says
Yes, it’s fun and crazy and such is life. Right?
Still love that post of yours! I’m remembering great days of dancing with my horse.
Tiffany says
This was funny and sweet and a wonderful depiction of how our relationship with God can be.
Positively Alene says
It’s a relationship that loves to hit the floor and dance, dance, dance for sure!
Nikki says
That acronym is BRILLIANT!
Okay, alene. I’m all in — let’s dance!
Positively Alene says
Oh girl – that day is going to come soon when we can sit and get hyped up on coffee and then dance, dance, dance and chat, chat, chat! Makes me happy just thinking about it.
Tereasa says
What you have said is so true. Following the guidance of the Lord is unpredictable and rewarding.
My little sister taught my children to dance to that song and I have it on video! It is so funny!
Positively Alene says
Unpredictable and scary good! Put that video on this weekend and dance! It’s fun.
Harleena Singh says
That was so sweet indeed!
I loved the way you were dancing as I could virtually see you do it and enjoy yourself as well.
That’s the way to take life. :)
Positively Alene says
I love to dance — literally and vitually! Have a great week.
Positively Alene says
hmmmm – that would be virtually.
Jenn says
This is a great metaphor! I love your picture, too.
And the cha-cha slide is so much fun! We did it at my wedding!! :)
visiting from the SITS Saturday Sharefest!
Positively Alene says
That’s a great dance for a wedding. Everyone can get involved. Life is more fun when everyone is involved!
misssrobin says
Beautiful! I especially love the part about dancing with God. What a lovely image.
Thanks for sharing. Stopping by from SITS. Have a great weekend.
Positively Alene says
I know – the visual of walking, talking and dancing with God always brings a tear. Have an awesome week.
Kariss Lynch says
LOVED this!!! Made me smile! Thanks for visiting my blog last week. I can’t believe it took me a week to finally visit yours. And thanks for this great picture of dancing.
