How It Rolls

Since I'm horrifically tardy in doing so, I'll start off by announcing Sarah M. as the winner of the Art And Prophecy giveaway.  Congratulations Sarah and thanks to all who entered!

For those of you who may have wondered what in the world I've been up to lately, I'll give you a quick run down:  I was sick for almost 2 weeks straight, busy revamping my son's entire homeschool plan based on the Charlotte Mason approach I've fallen in love with, dealing with feelings of sluggishness and insomnia (adrenal fatigue perhaps?) and preparing to lead worship for the first time for a weekend retreat with my husband.  (Awesome by the way..more on this very soon!!)  I would be remiss not to mention one of the key factors that has held me back from popping in though, which is separate from (but a direct result of) the many things I just shared with you, so here it is:

Since I changed focus here at Dance And Be Glad awhile back, I began feeling like I did not have a solid foundation to build from, in the sense of really conveying just what true worship is all about and why it is so important.  Writing a post to this effect would serve as a heartfelt and (hopefully) spirit-led attempt to answer some of those questions, and in turn, would release me to continue writing about other related topics once again, something I've very much been looking forward to!  Ok, so I am in the midst of pouring into this post, plan to complete it by weeks end, and then on we'll go.

Just had to give you a quick update, and I will be back soon.  I promise!  Love to all :)

When I began this blog almost one year ago (wow!), its primary purpose served as an outlet for my bottled up emotions.  Over time, it has worn many hats- and has evolved into a richer, more defined "place" as I've discovered which ones were the best fit.  

Likewise, in my personal life, the road to where I am now has been full of colorful new experiences.  Opportunities to learn, grow, embrace, create, and become part of something bigger than myself have been overwhelming!  Not everything I have tried to do has gone smoothly from the beginning, but as I've moved along, I've chosen to let the Lord shows me which things are worth working toward.  This leads me to the point I'd like to share with you today:

When it comes to serving Christ, there are many, many titles one may go by.  Homemaker.  Bread-winner.  Parent.  Spouse.  Worshipper.  These are just a few of the words which give a glimpse into the hearts of His servants.  They're undeniable.  Still...each one of us are full of creative potential which is just waiting to overflow into all aspects of our lives as we submit to God's leading.  

If I were to ask you what you "do", what would your response be?  I'll admit..my typical response would be, "I'm a stay-at-home-mom", or something like that.  Yes, this is an enormous task (and blessing), but does sharing something as basic as this really allow God's creativity in you to shine though?  

I want to know that you love Jesus, and your family, for sure.  But...what I really want to do is to talk about your passions!  What are your gifts?  How do you use what you've been given to bring glory to God, and to be drawn deeper into his presence?  What kind of fruit is being produced as you carefully tend to the seeds He's placed in your heart?

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. ⁶ If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. ⁷ If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. ⁸ This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples."

John 15: 5-8

Do you like to write?  Then you're a writer.  Dance?  You're a dancer.  Paint?  Well, you get the idea.  It's OK to claim these gifts, and it doesn't even matter if you don't think you're any good at them or not.  If the desire is in your heart, then the ability is right there with it, just waiting to be put to good use!  Just as being a child of the King (our true identity) is a growing process, so is developing our creativity in serving Christ.  It takes patience and diligence to gain skill at something, but with the help of the Holy Spirit, it's sure to be an exciting and enjoyable journey!

One more thing..Don't be afraid to experiment with new ways to worship and honor the Lord creatively, and continue to be open to the Lord's leading as you do so.  The true desires of our heart come from Him alone..and only He can take them and allow them to grow and multiply into something bigger and more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. 

Worship Is The Key

Today I was thinking of how sometimes life just doesn't seem to make sense.  The rain falls in downpours; difficulties come crashing in as mighty waves.  Nothing can quite prepare you for the unexpected events the days may bring, and yet when we commune with God, it quiets that restless, uneasy spirit within us and allows us to simply be His.

No matter what kind of chaos enters our lives, He remains unchanged.  I believe that making the time to worship Him from the very essence of our being is the key to releasing the outpouring of His presence into our lives, and providing the truest sense of stability that we so desperately seek.

So...that being said, I'd like to present to you a challenge: to take hold of all that God-given creativity within each one of us and just let Him have it..whether you sit down to write a poem or story, create a beautiful piece of artwork, or offer Him a dance of praise.  When you turn your passions and abilities toward Him, He will meet you and  draw you in deep.  Think of it as a jump-start for your spiritual journey.  Just don't forget to read the road map (aka thebible) before you set course.

So, are you up for it?  I'd love to hear from you how this plays out in your life...and I plan to share my own story with you soon.  If you've had a deep encounter with God that you'd like to share as a guest post here, please let me know so I can get in contact with you.  Blessings!!

Sharing A Bit Of His Plan

Tonight I share with you some news.  Before I do, though, please know that I have enjoyed the journey we've shared together over these past 11 months so much.  And no, I'm not giving up the blog.  *Insert toothy grin here* However, lately I've felt like what I really need is to focus more on the Lord and just be willing to surrender the things that make it difficult for me to walk in the path he's called me to.

As I've prayed and sought His direction in my life, one thing has been becoming more clear to me than I'd like to admit: (but here it is anyway, since I'm putting myself out there like that)

I think about this blog too much.

Returning to my writing has been so therapeutic for me in many ways.  The problem is...I can write about whatever I want to here.  That doesn't sound like it would be a bad thing, but for me, it gives me far too many opportunities to lose track of what is going on right now- in this moment.  My mind tends to run on overdrive as it is, and then to constantly have these ideas popping into my head throughout the day about what would make a great topic for a post, or maybe a good category, or series....well, frankly it's just too distracting.  I am blessed to have a wide variety of interests and abilities, but perhaps it was premature to think I could find the balance in sharing them all in this one place.

There's also been that instinctive writers "thing" creeping in where I start seeing the story in everything that happens rather than simply living it and allowing God to work that beauty into me on His own time. Have any of you ever experienced this?

So here's what I've decided to do (totally based off of the Lord's leading at the present time):

I will be streamlining Dance And Be Glad to be focused primarily on the "arts" of worship: with an emphasis on my growing passion of worship dance.  Living a lifestyle of worship is something we should each strive towards, but I've got a really strong desire to encourage the body of Christ to experience God on a deeper level.  By reclaiming the arts for His glory and creating our own passionate responses to Him, I believe we can do just this.  Just thinking about this gets me excited..very excited!!  Plus, the ideas I have for the topic seem to flow together seamlessly, while leaving my adventures with herbs, married life, motherhood and homemaking mostly off the hook.  *Big sigh of relief* For those of you who would like to continue reading about these things, here are a few great sites worth checking out (A few of my favorites and some of the first blogs I started reading):

Domestic By Design      
This girl and I share the same heart, I think!  I also have a guest post here talking about dance.

Keeper Of The Home     
Very helpful natural living blog.  I have written two articles featured here, including Better Bedtimes For Little Ones and Making Mom's Health A Priority.  Also, a collection of my natural remedy posts can be found at the Home Remedies Carnival here (numbers 31-37), along with many other posts worthy of your perusal.

Passionate Homemaking
All about the home, and living simply.

Inspired To Action          
Intentional motherhood- I befriended this girl, and she is legit :)

A Holy Experience        
The way this woman reflects on life is life changing.

Meanwhile, I will continue start writing our own personal family journal, including filling the empty pages of my children's memory books with all the sweet, quirky, and wonderful things they do which are all too quickly forgotten.  Maybe write some longer articles as I feel released to do so, in the forms of e-books, guest posts, or the like.  Eventually I'd even like to write a book, but that is something I'm putting out of my mind at the present time as well.

I'd like to thank each one of you for being here and caring about me and what I've had to say these past months, and I do hope that many of you will stick around and see how God is going to revamp this site to bring Him deeper levels of glory!!  You're support has been so encouraging to my soul, more than words could say.

The Little Girl Who Loved To Write (A True Story)

There was once a sweet little girl who loved to write words.  As she grew, the sweetness waned, yet her ink pen continued to flow.  And so she would sit, writing from the depths of her being, words which would become increasingly soaked with despair and bitterness as the years rolled by.

It came to pass that the girl unwittingly stepped into the path of utter foolishness and lost her way for some time.  At last, she managed to find herself (or rather, be found) before it was too late, and began a new way of life.  A better way, yet unlike any she had chosen to live before.

A child was born, and her life was not her own.  Nor had it ever been, but it took this precious child growing within her to realize such a profound truth.  She embraced life with joy and the words returned: joyful, thankful words; flowing out like precious oil before her new love, the one who rescued her from her miry pit.  Her beloved Jesus.

Yet again, trouble came.  Years of it, and in fact, though she experienced much happiness and growth during this complicated journey, things never did quite clear up like she thought they should.  The unsettled dust seemed to linger in her heart and mind, and distort her view.  During this time the words came and went, but to the girl, they never really seemed to be worth saving.  It was as if she felt she wasn’t worth saving.  If only she could have seen herself through the eyes of her Heavenly Father!

One day, as if by accident (yet knowing this could not be), the girl found herself face to face with a new friend.  An older, wiser woman; one who had been carefully dusted off and made to shine the true light of Jesus on a broken down vessel like her.  It was also no coincidence that the Lord had been preparing and softening the girl's heart for days beforehand for this very meeting.  As they talked, the girls spirit became lighter and filled with the knowledge of who she was in Christ.  Not simply what her story had been through all those years, but what really mattered the most: God’s unfailing love for her, as a child of the King! 

That day, a well of healing sprung up inside of her.  Though hardships continued to present themselves in the days and weeks ahead, she felt she had overcome the biggest obstacle of all: the enemy that was herself.  She began making her way slowly back to the things that meant the most to her, as she learned to listen intently for the Lord’s leading.  

And the Lord led her back to her words (His words), and renewed her enthusiasm for the gift that it was: to bless, encourage, and love others into His presence.  She knew it would not be an easy task; simply that it was one she would gladly continue.  In His grace, her imperfections would be used for His glory.  

As she planned for the moment those words would flow again, she knew that this time the words that she wrote would matter.  Because she knew that she mattered.  Even if only one person read them.  Even if no one ever read them.  

She would not bury her treasure anymore.

Pondering Grace

Ever since I became aware that God loved me, despite my horrible sinful nature, I just blindly supposed being thankful for it was enough.  So the days and years have gone by, and occasionally with them has come the rearing head of my dark and ugly past, despite my best attempts to tackle it once and for all.  

Each time someone's actions have left me frustrated, confused, hurt, ticked off, and sometimes reaching for my sanity, I have missed opportunities to offer the grace that God has so freely offered to me: an ex drug- addicted, God-mocking harlot.  Yes, God still loved me and cared for me through my darkest times, though I couldn't have deserved it less.  Despite the fact that I was breaking his heart.  And he has called me to do the same for others.  

..Freely ye have received, freely give.  Matthew 10:8 KJV

I know that the more "on my face" time I get with the Big Dad himself, the better equipped I am to serve Him.  I've definitely been lacking in this area and realize how seriously I need to make it a priority again.  The other day the Lord led me to these verses which really helped to enlighten me- though I have yet to truly take them to heart and make them my own.

2 Corinthians 12:9
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

2 Corinthians 9:8

And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:    

I've also been listening to some lyrics of a few favorite songs which inspire the truth about God's grace:

"Waves of mercy, waves of grace, everywhere I look, I see Your face!  You're love has captured me; Oh my God this love, how can it be?" (Every Move I Make- David Ruis)

"We are his portion and we are his prize, drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes- If grace is an ocean, we're all sinking.." (John Mark McMillan- How He Loves)


I so want to be in God's will.  To quote a dear friend, "To see one another the way Christ sees us."  He really does love us.  Even when we are absolutely despicable creatures.  And the more I think about it, the more I realize just how often that really is..even still.  Thank God for the grace he sees for each one of us.  Now, I guess it's our turn.  God...help us!!


What helps you see others the way Christ sees them during difficult times?

A Vision Of Love

Do you ever struggle with bitterness or frustration with others?  This has been an ongoing battle in my own heart as I have dealt with feelings of being wronged, or when I've simply not appreciated the seemingly selfish (and occasionally destructive) antics of others.  Even though I've heard it said, "Love your neighbor as yourself",..."Love conquers all",...and other such verses tons of times, I really think that  it takes a special nudge from the Lord Himself for us to experience what these words actually mean.  How is anybody supposed to follow a doctrine of love that they can't understand?  Sure, it makes sense in our minds, but that sense doesn't just automatically resonate in our spirits like we may wish it would.  Need proof?  Just look at all the so-called "Christians" out there with whom you could carry on any number of conversations at length without hearing the name of Christ mentioned, having prayer offered, or even casually offering up words such as love, faith, hope, or forgiveness.  May I take a moment to admit here that sadly, I have all too often been one of these people?  

I have felt the love of Christ for me, and it has changed my life.  But I honestly never really and truly felt much of a deep sense of his love for everyone else.  Well, maybe for my family, or for sweet little babies or orphaned children.  I've even been known to reach out to others on occasion to share the love of Christ with those in need.   But what about the people whose bad decisions and attitudes personally affect me and my life..have I felt my love for them soaring high above the "challenging" situations they bring to my life?  Not so much.  

Well, let me tell you that when I was laying in bed the other evening, I rose up past this earthly place and into the realm of the Heavenlies.  Was I dreaming?  Maybe.  Yet, as I looked around at the clean, pure surroundings and up as high as I could see, surrounded by a flowing white linen which felt to me like the garment of Christ, I was absolutely smitten in love- even for the people I try in my own strength not to loathe.  In fact, especially for them.   I looked down, where I knew the world was waiting for me to return, and in that moment, I knew that the answer to all the problems I have faced in regards to my dealings with others was right there.  In that one moment where I was so close to the Lord that I actually had a taste of His awesome love for all of mankind, I realized that my pettiness was the only thing that was holding me back. 

I can't say that things have been perfect since, but I will say that dreaming or not, that feeling of all encompassing love was real and has not left my mind or my heart even for one day.  I wish I would have more dreams like this, as I could definitely use some spiritual boosts without having to find the time to make them happen!!  I plan on asking for Him to come and lavish his love for mankind on me more and more, whether it be when I am sleeping or awake.  Ask, and it will be given you, the bible says in Matthew 7:7.  I can't wait to see how God will use me as I grow in this way.  

How has God shown you His awesome love for others and made it real in your life?

So many things in life present challenges in fulfilling the one true calling we've each been created to share: 

To love the Lord our God with all our heart and with all our soul and with all our strength and with all our mind; and to love our neighbors as ourselves.
Luke 10:27

It's easy to become discouraged when we try to do something and fail, whether it's keeping a clean and organized home, meeting our husbands needs, being there for a friend, or simply trying to obtain obedience from the kids.   

Before we get caught up in all sorts of self-doubt, feeling like a failure for this, or no good because of that, lets remember these 3 things which make up for everything else:

We are Accepted!

God allowed his son to die for us while we were still sinners.

We are Forgiven!

All we must do is ask, and His blood that was shed washes us white as snow. 

We are Loved!

He desires us to spend all of eternity with Him, and He will never leave us nor forsake us. 

Nothing we ever do (or don't do) can mess this up.  These are God's promises to us, meant to carry us through thick and thin.  Our worth is in Him alone, and we are more than conquerors through him who loves us.    

Will you believe it with me today?!   

Making A Sacrifice Of Praise

photo credit

Why is it that when we need God the most we usually feel like approaching him the least?  Many tough situations in our lives tend to drag with them feelings of bitterness, anger, and other various emotions that act as a roadblock on our journey towards spiritual health and wholeness.  God knew this would happen, and so he offered us the following rule to abide by:


Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that confess his name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.
Hebrews 13:15-16


Praising God no matter what is going on in our lives is so important for us to be able to have a close and personal relationship with him.  James 4:8 says, "Come near to God, and he will come near to you."  Ok, well when everything seems to be going wrong, and I feel like crying myself a pool of pity, (and possibly pushing someone into it) how in the world can I just praise God instead?  Well, the answer I've found which has made all the difference in the world for me is in one word: passion


What do you love to do?  If you can do it unto the Lord, you can praise him through the roughest moments of your life.  Make it your back up plan to stay connected with him.  For me, dancing makes me happy.  So when something makes me unhappy, I have decided to turn on some worship music and start dancing until I feel better.  It may sound silly, but so far it has worked every time.  There are truly limitless possibilities here, but take a look at Psalm 150 for a few ideas:


Praise the LORD.

Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens.

Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness.

Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre,

praise him with tambourine and dancing, praise him with the strings and flute,

praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals.

Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD. 

I want to encourage you today to take that first step of faith to praise him despite all odds, and get ready to cross over into a deeper relationship with him than you ever thought possible.  God is good..even when we aren't!!

How Will You Bear His Name?

Did you know that if you have accepted Christ in your life, that you are introducing Jesus to everyone you meet? Think about how our actions can affect change in the lives and even the eternal destinies of these people we come in contact with every day.  In our conversations, are we telling the truth about who Jesus is, or are people left searching?  I'm not even talking about gospel chats, witnessing, or anything else you may like to call it.  I'm simply saying we should be doing more good ol' fashion Holy Ghost Representin'.  Geared up in the armor of God and nourished with the fruit of the spirit.  You feel me?!  


When unsaved people hear that we are christians, you know they watch us a bit more closely.  The newness of life we have in Christ may just be the living water which will flow to that parched spot in their heart, if we are willing to let it show!  Don't let the enemy steal that life away when things get tough.  Get tougher!  God is stronger than that nasty old devil, and he freely gives us the strength to defeat him.  Even if we've already goofed up, He is there to help make things right again.  (And I know this is true!...)

O Lord, listen! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, hear and act! For your sake, O my God, do not delay, because your city and your people bear your Name.

Daniel 9:19

I want to bear His name everywhere I go, and in any way I can.  Authentically.  With a smile, a friendly gesture, or even a prayer.  There is no better way, and not one thing to lose.  *Shout out to my fellow "fisherman" out there*...are you in?!

Get Ready For The Fire: A Story Of God Working In Me

photo credit

This morning, before a single drop of sunlight dared to spash the sky, I awoke to the clanging of dishes in my kitchen.  Immediately my eyelids sprung open, and my heart was soon to skip a beat as the adrenaline rushed through my veins.  My still weary mind suggested it may be the cat, yet I knew he was outside.  As I walked downstairs and peered into my empty sink, it's shiny surface reflected the truth I already knew in my heart: this had been my wake up call.  There was no pot-snactchin' thief or dish-washin' fairy in my house!  It was 4:30 A.M.  Exactly the time I have been feeling I need to start waking up to get the day underway.  

Could this have been a random coincidence?  Well, considering the same exact thing happened to me yesterday morning as well, I would say not.  Only then, I crept down the stairs with Breaden's baseball bat, checking under the tables and behind the couch for invaders before settling into the idea that maybe it was a "God thing".  I imagine him chuckling at me as I lurked about like some sort of ghetto-bodyguard out to protect my family.  

Both of these mornings have brought a sense of fear into my spirit, yet today's fear was quite a bit different.  As soon as I sat up in bed and looked at the clock I knew the Lord was doing something in my life.  He knows how I am NOT a morning person.  He knew he'd have to jolt me to near smithereens to get me used to this early rising stuff, and so he did.  As I walked downstairs empty handed, I requested the Lord to grant me freedom from all fear, as I half expected to find an angel sitting on my empty countertops or on my couch.  Even as I sat down, bible in hand, I glanced out the dark window and waited just a moment to see if any"thing" may be peering back in.  Not this time...

So I opened up my bible to a completely "random" location from 1 Chronicles 21 and began to read.  It was the story of David preparing to build an altar for the Lord.  Maybe it was just the height of a moment for me, but as I read verse 26 I just so happened to get a touch of the shivers:

And David built there an altar to the Lord and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings and called upon the Lord; and He answered him by fire from heaven upon the altar of burnt offering. 

I have had some questions for the Lord lately related to how in the world I can make things come together in our home with loose ends seeming to be hanging out everywhere I look.  I needed to hear that he would answer me where I was at if I were faithful in what He asked of me.  (In this case, getting up early).  What I also needed to prepare myself for was how he may choose to answer!  My best plans and ideas get thrown out the window when His divine inspiration starts flowing.  God is gentle, yet powerful.  At times subtle, yet undeniable to those who seek him.  His presence is real and creates a sense of holy reverence and fear inside of me.  I am never quite prepared to have an encounter with him yet each time I do I long for another.  Being with him is the only place that makes perfect sense.  I need that or I would go insane.  I have no doubt in this fact.  

Now set your mind and heart to seek the Lord your God.  Arise and build the sanctuary of the Lord God, so that the ark of the covenant of the Lord and the holy vessels of God may be brought into the house built to the Name and renown of the Lord.  1 Chronicles 22:19

Let us continue to grow and be conquerors and embrace all that we were created for by simply responding in obedience to those little things he's placed in our hearts to do.  And let us watch as our minds, hearts, and homes are reestablished as holy, perfect and pleasing to Him, that we would have peace in our hearts, and be a blessing to all we come in contact with!  

Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual act of worship.  Romans 12:1

One simple act of faith, one amazing God who will come and lead the way.  His ways are above our ways, and He will take us places beyond what you could ever think or dream possible.  Are you ready for the fire?!

What Do You WANT?

What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of this question.  Obedient kids?  Lasting peace?  A new car?!  Recently I had the opportunity to be asked this question by a dear brother in Christ who just happened to be ministering to me for my healing.  I will admit, the first thing that ran through my mind was, "I want to be healed."  A moment later though, as my mind and my heart met, I knew that the "right" answer to this question was simply, "Jesus". 

One thing I ask of the LORD,this is what I seek:that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life,to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple. Psalm 27:4

 As I tried to think about what "wanting Jesus" should look like in my life, I began to recall things that have always brought me joy, satisfaction, and allowed me to grow as a person.  For me, these were things like dancing, writing, and spending time with my family and loved ones.  

Delight yourself in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.  Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass.  Psalm 37: 4,5

To be honest though, I hadn't really thought about how any of this had much to do with getting a clean bill of health.  As we continued to meditate on the word and wait on his presence, God gave me a beautiful vision that eclipsed my human understanding and delivered a mission into my heart.  He even provided confirmation to let me know I wasn't just a silly little daydreamer.  (At least, not just then..)  My mission?  To "be" Jesus to the lost, and rescue them from the fire.  Then we will run, dance, laugh, and be free like little children.  

I realized that living life passionately (and with a purpose) is how God created us to function.  It is He who placed those passions within us, so that we can serve him in joy and find balance in all other things.  

A sound heart is life to the flesh.. Proverbs 14:30

I believe that discovering and fulfilling the passions that God has placed in our hearts can create in us a deeper desire for intimacy with him, and a renewed enthusiasm and trust in his word.  

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.  But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.  He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither.  Whatever he does prospers.  Psalm 1:1-3

This is just one of the many promises for health that the bible proclaims for those who seek after the Lord with all their heart.  Surely a God that gives us such amazing talents and dreams, who loves us all the way to heaven and back, and who forgives our sins "as far as the east is from the west" will be faithful when it comes to fulfilling his word.  Now take that and run with it!
