So I had a totally non-spiritual blog prepared for my five minutes today but as with a lot of things recently God wrecked me and set me on a different course. So I have been reading this book titled “I became a Christian and all I got was this Lousy T-Shirt”. I have a couple more chapters to go but so far it has made me laugh and has challenged me in some areas of my life. My wife wrote this blog the other day which is along the same lines so God clearly understands the need for oneness in marriage.

In last nights chapter “Monk” the author Vince Antonucci talked a lot about the relationship of abiding in Christ. He reminds us that we need that face time with Christ but we also need reminders throughout the day that He is with us. Whether you take time to recognize or not He is there.

He uses the analogy of becoming a dance partner and how at first your movements with a new partner are awkward and every step involves intense thought. Over time the movements become more fluid and in the end it is almost like the two bodies are so in tune that they could easily be portrayed as one. Abiding with Christ is just that way…at first it is awkward and you easily get out of step, you struggle with who is leading, there is uncomfortable starts and stops. In the art of dance you have to work at it. You must be disciplined, and stick with it. So for you “Dancing with the Stars” fans you can look less like Master P and more like Helio Castroneves.

So bust a move, break a leg, cut a rug, and get down tonight… Try dancing through life with a new partner named Jesus. Don’t turn it into a routine but allow everyday to be a new adventure, artwork in motion. Don’t worry so much about stepping on toes but enjoy your time abiding in Him.
