Psalm 149:1-4 "Praise the Lord. Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise in the assembly of the saints. Let Israel rejoice in their Maker. Let the people of Zion be glad in their King. Let them praise his name with DANCING and make music to him with tambourine and harp. For the Lord takes delight in his people, he crowns the humble with salvation."Ballroom dancing!!! What does that have to do with anything???? My husband and I decided that we needed to be intentional about meeting new people who did not live in a seminary or Christian school "bubble." So, we signed up for free ballroom dancing lessons for 8 weeks. This was something definitely out of our comfort zone, but it has given us the opportunity to meet new people. We have especially formed a friendship with the instructor and her husband and have met them for dinner the past two weeks. They were surprised that a Baptist preacher was in a ballroom dancing class, but that totally broke down any barriers about Tim being a "preacher." We listened to them share about their lives and told them a bit about what we both did; the second week, before they even said hello, they said: "Tim, where is the church where you are preaching? We would like to come here you." They expressed their desire to come to "his" church. Tim and I pray that we will continue to be intentional about looking for opportunities to build relationships and share what He has called us to do.
