Dancing with God?

Which is more fun - dancing alone or with a partner? Judging from the popularity of the TV show Dancing with the Stars, one might guess dancing with a  partner.

But why is it when we pray, we tend to be loners? I'm not referring to finding a quiet spot to pray in - after all distractions can be a nuisance. I am referring to something quite different; something not taught in many church circles.

FAQ # 9 Analysis Paralysis

Time to write another post. I already knew the topic. Analysis Paralysis had been popping into my mind these last few days. I knew exactly what the Lord meant by that - it was a major factor in blocking believers from receiving God's divine directions. But which testimony would best illustrate the concept?

I grabbed our Maltese dog and settled onto the couch to pray. 

"Lord, what experience would best illustrate this concept?"

Then I waited and listened. I remembered how the Lord led me to buy our dog when I had said hundreds of times, "I'm so glad we don't own a dog!" and what a blessing he is. I thought about the time I did not want to attend a conference but ended up going when the Lord directed me to. Then there was the amazing way God let my daughter know which college to attend and how He got her in through an unusual set of circumstances. 

Story after story ran through my mind as I reminisced about God's faithfulness, but each one did not seem quite right to illustrate this blog.

Almost an hour had passed and I was getting hungry. 

I guess I'll grab some lunch and maybe the Lord will pop something into my head as I am eating.

He did!

FAQ Blog #2

God - What do I do???

So many readers have asked, “What does God want me to do?” Though situations vary the dilemma is the same: If only I knew what God wanted me to do, I would do it!

Many of us say that, but before we plead, “God what do You want me to do???” we need to search our hearts. Are we really one hundred percent committed to doing whatever God tells us is best?
