When I meditated on the word guidance, I kept seeing "dance" at the end
of the word. I remember reading that doing God's will is a lot like
dancing. When two people try to lead, nothing feels right. The movement
doesn't flow with the music, and everything is quite uncomfortable and
jerky.
When one person relaxes and lets the other lead, both bodies begin to
flow with the music. One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the
back or by pressing lightly in one direction or another. It's as if two
become one body, moving beautifully. The dance takes surrender,
willingness, and attentiveness from one person and gentle guidance and
skill from the other.
My eyes drew back to the word guidance. When I saw "G," I thought of
God, followed by "u" and "i." God, "u" and "I" dance. God, you, and I
dance. This statement is what guidance means to me.
As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust that I would get
guidance about my life.
Once again, I became willing to let God lead.
