Now if you know B.B. King, the extraordinary Blues artist, than you may well get the reference I just put into the title. If not, you should really get into Blues!! It is just the coolest thing out.
Anyway, this past weekend I went to the mighty Timaru to go to some Swing Dance workshops with SwingKatz, which my friend happens to be a part of.
So, I learnt a lot a Blues swing, as well as learnt a little bit of Lindy hop, both of which are incredibly cool and incredibly fun!
And you know what? As well as meeting some cool kids and learning some sweet moves, I also learnt something about God. I know that it has probably been said before by a bunch of people, but here I am going to reiterate this. We all know that in our relationship with God people always use the car analogy, and tell us that we should let God take the driver's seat in the car that is our life. Well, I have a different, dancey version for all of us ladies out there that love to partner dance:
We all need to stop trying to lead, and just let God do that. We need to learn to be followers. Now I know that sounds easy, but when it comes to dancing, it is sometimes hard to just be relaxed and let go about some things.
It's not as if we followers don't need to know anything either, we still need to know the basic footwork, and then let the lead do it all. If you have a good lead, they hold you and make sure you don't fall, they fix all your mistakes for you, and make you look good. Meanwhile you get to have the time of your life on the dance floor.
Now isn't that what our relationship with God should look like? We just follow, it is all God's work, and He holds us, He turns everything to good (Rom 8:28), and we represent God on this earth, so looking good should be a priority.
I dunno, this kinda blew my mind a little when I was dancing last night, so yeah, get into some dancing y'all!!
