The Other Day

I decided to dance. I was on a trip to Chicago with my show choir, and music was playing in a restaurant. Here I am, this little chubby girl who is uncomfortable with her body in every day, and I decide that I should dance. I can't dance in any way, but I want to. So.. I stand up and start thrashing like I do. Soon enough, everyone around me is dancing as well, and before I know it the whole restaurant is dancing to an Abba song. I had nearly ten people thank me at the end of the night, as they said they were wanting to do the same thing but didn't have the courage. Isaiah 41:13- "For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you." When I was thinking about dancing, I kept hearing the final phrase in this verse: "Do not fear; I will help you." Maybe if more people didn't fear the unknown, we wouldn't have so many social taboos and other problems. I think we all need to start dancing, and then things will finally be as God wanted them.
