Do you ever just feel like dancing? I do. Recently I have been imagining myself dancing for God. Not the Shakira kind (those dance cravings hit me at other times), but more like an arms-out, whimsical, worshipy kind of dance. Sometimes just the visual alone is nice, and I smile at what that would feel like. But mostly I just want to do it. I want to be carefree about it; dancing only for God and not noticing or caring where I'm at or what music is playing. I think it would make Him so delighted to see that; I hope that He sees my heart in it now, at the very least.
I think I'm more of an internal worshiper. If I feel really moved while singing a song, I'll lift my hands. Oftentimes though I'm conscious of the fact that I'm doing it, which negates it for me, because then I'm not sure if I'm doing it for God or for appearances. In these cases, I choose to not, because God knows my heart anyway, and I don't want to be doing it just to do it. Same with lyrics in a song: sometimes I'll just sing them to myself or go over them with God instead of singing out loud for different reasons depending on the situation- maybe I'm not feeling the worship; maybe my heart's in another place. Often when I'm in nature I'm just silent, taking it all in and thinking to myself how incredible and beautiful it is that God made everything around me.
*sigh* I think I'll have a date with God out on a "mountain" somewhere soon. And I'm definitely going to dance.
