Molding of a man... some thoguhts

Thursday, August 31, 2006
Earlier this summer, in fact Spring I saw a nice lil flick, Take the Lead.

This week I had a lil gathering of frinds with dinner and a movie. the very same movie.

These last few months (let alone these last three weeks) things have changed, for the better, deepened, etc where now the word Gospel transformation has come up alot.

transformation, molding, change, growth.

Many areas in life need some tweakage and inviting of others in my life in those said areas (health, finances, spirituality etc).

What is my role in leadership? The engine up front pulling the train? The caboose pushing the train? Ot the guy in the passenger cart going car to car making sure things are still running and often times sitting in the same seats with the passengers? My leadership is often a hidden behind the scenes keeping theings running in s aservant like support.

But the changes in life...

I feel it in conversations with people these days...there is something different in most of my talks at church and the folks through out the week. Something has changed.

Now I see self and want out of self to let room for the holy spirit to work.

The benefits of dance, health, social skills, self-esteem, grace I can go on for an hour on these benefits....

How can we use the philosophy of dance as it is very relational just as the gospel is. How can dance be used as the medium for gospel transformation where dance is only the vessel and not the whole event. Where prayer and the bible ourrelationships with God are more prominate than the dance aspect.

My journey is taking shape somewhat. There is much to ponder and I will have a lot of time here this weekend when i go to my family reunion. When I come back I have a feeling things will be set in action.

These changes that have come and those that are to come how can they be used in such a way for the glory of God? How can my life be used in a way for him?

Just wanting the dance has links several issues together for me to happen. Fiances, health, and even relationships. The desire within me is that while this is happening and when it comes to a new stage (or what seems the work completed) to help others and make it a ministry to others...

Dancing is a way of life, it is about realationships and gospel transformation changes you. But the relationship with God will and should be developed first aobve all.

I pray this is not just my will but God's will and that my desires are his and not mine.

God.
relationships.
helth.
dance.
life.
gospel.
molding.
God.

    Thy way, not mine, O lord


    Thy way, not mine, O Lord,
    However dark it be;
    Lead me by Thine own hand,
    Choose out the path for me.

    Smooth let it be or rough,
    It will be still the best;
    Winding or straight, it leads
    Right onward to Thy rest.

    I dare not choose my lot;
    I would not, if I might;
    Choose Thou for me, my God,
    So I shall walk aright.

    Take Thou my cup, and it
    With joy or sorrow fill,
    As best to Thee may seem;
    Choose Thou my good and ill.

    Choose Thou for me my friends,
    My sickness or my health;
    Choose Thou my cares for me
    My poverty or wealth.

    The kingdom that I seek
    Is Thine: so let the way
    That leads to it be Thine,
    Else I must surely stray.

    Not mine, not mine the choice
    In things or great or small;
    Be Thou my Guide, my Strength
    My Wisdom, and my All.

    ~Horatius Bonar
