She said something that has stayed with me for the last few years. "I don't like to dance. I feel like everyone is watching."
It wasn't until later that the Lord spoke this to my heart.
"Life will always have spectators. You just have to make sure that you don't let them keep you from living."
And I had to wonder. How often do I let spectators ... even the perceived ones...keep me from truly living and loving life today?
My desire? This year I will take the time to twirl around in the rain with my daughters. Not caring that others can see. that I'm soaked and unsightly. or that I'm a grown woman acting like a child.
Lord, give me blinders. For I want to pay absolutely no heed to those hanging out on the sidelines.

That saying rings true: Dance like no one is watching, sing like no one is listening and love like you've never been hurt before (or like there is no tomorrow). Your posts are very thoughtful and I enjoy reading them. Got your address through toliveloveandlaugh.blogspot. Thanks for sharing!
Powerful revelation, my friend! I love the quote that laura quoted above.
Great post- the poem that Laura quoted in her comment is one of my favorites. That is what I love about little children- they are genuine and don't worry about spectators.
While that might not be powerful enough to make me dance, that will be enough to make me spin around and act like a nut with my kids and not care what the neighbors think. :)
Ooh, I 2nd the belly pics!
