I am very thankful for praise dancing, attempting to show praise and love to my Lord. When I talk about praise dancing, I want to make it clear what I am talking about. I have never in my life, had one single dance class. I do not participate in any praise dance, or worship team at church, and never have. I do not claim to be graceful, or a naturally talented dancer. But, I do love the Lord with all I am, and with all I have, or will ever have. I want to express my love and appreciation to Him with all of my heart. So, I dance before Him here at home in my living room, and anywhere else I choose. I make up my own dances for Him, swaying in time to the worship music that is playing. I lift my hands in worship to my King, and I sing in tune to the beautiful song He has placed deep in my heart, expressing the joy that pours forth from my heart and soul. As I close my eyes, and move to the rhythm of the music, I know I am no longer alone. My Lord has gathered me in His arms, and is twirling me around, and around. My feet may never touch the ground again, woo hoo. Thanks for the dance sweet Lord, I love You.Thursday, August 5, 2010

Hi Denise,
We can never stop praising the Lord! Thank Him for all His love and goodness to us. Thanks for your visit, prayers and encouragements. Take care and God bless you always.
Warm regards,
Nancie
Very encouraging post... Amen! we dance for our Lord, His goodness, His love endures forever and His faithfulness to us.
What an encouragement you are, Denise. That time alone with God is way better than being on a praise team. Your posts always bless me.
I love to dance before Him too Denise! I have never envisioned myself dancing WITH Him. :o)
Bless you today my friend!
Beth
Hey Denise, do you know what happened with the linkup over at womentakingastand? Just was wondering, and I know you always participate. I posted, too, even though I wasn't able to link up.
Blessings,
Wendy

Beautiful post! I know what you mean about just full out dancing without restraint.
Have a blessed and joy-filled rest of the week!
Well I don't dance but my foot is a tappin' while I am listening to 3rd Day sing I'll always love you.
I loved your thankful post. I can almost see you Praising our Father!
The Lord is my strength and my shield; My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart exults,And with my songs I shall thank Him. Psalms 28:7
Hope your day is Blessed,
Sherry
Blessing Denise and PRAISE the Lord always with the dance in you!!! I love how you took the time to explain and will continue this dance with Him! I'm so thankful for DANCE and the Shortybear dance is one of the cutest but I know that your dance with Him, swaying in His arms are the BEST moments of soaking in His love!
Thanking Him with you for the DANCE!!
I know that too it is a cocoon away from the world
So precious, Denise!!
This must be the secret of your powerful intercession. Prayers get answered! The Lord is a dancer and waiting for a partner. So glad you say "yes".
I know this must make Him smile sweet sister. :)
Denise,
I love this post! There are those moments when that's exactly what I envision heaven to be like and those quiet moments of reflection and dancing with our Heavenly Prince!
Love and Hugs ~ Kat
I can see you dancing and praising. such a precious heart you have. I love to dance and praise Him too!
I'm so thankful we will have all of eternity to praise, worship, and dance before the King!
I love praise dancing. I use to do it. It's been a while. However, it's been stirring back in my spirit these past few weeks. Maybe your post is confirmation. Thanks for this post. Happy TT!!!
This isn't a dance you can learn in a class! You've gotta feel it inside! Just follow your dancing Partner. I love it, Denise. And I imagine He loves it even more than you do :)
Total encouragement Denise. Thank you. Blessings.
Dancing with the Father....what a wonderful picture!
Love it!
Love,
Julie
And I think it pleases Him...knowing they are dances from your heart...God bless you and love you sister.
What a fun picture I have of you dancing before the Lord = like David!
Thanks for reminding me to celebrate Him and to celebrate with Him!
Blessings,
Melanie
As I read your post, I could picture you praising God through your dance. How beautiful! I know He is very pleased. We can never thank Him enough.
Praise dancing sounds WONDERFUL! What a special moment between you and our God!!!
Hi Denise,
Thank you for dropping by and thank you for praying for my daughter.
I can see you dancing through the beautiful descriptive words! Have a wonderful weekend!
AWESOME! I love praise dancing in my living room as well!
I could picture you doing it and brought BIG SMILES to my heart.
Hugs,
Holly
I think worship dance is one of the most beautiful ways to praise GOD. It's something I do in my home.
I think what you described is a bit of heaven on earth. Keep on dancing!
If we don't give Him praise ... the rocks will cry out in our place. So Denise .... DANCE, DANCE, DANCE - before the Lord! Love ya sister and am grateful for you. Thanks for sharing this week over at TT! :D
I have the best times with the Lord when I am home alone and I can seek Him and He shows up and speaks to my heart.
