I recently saw this image by Anne Peterson

so I had to share for my 2025

One Word

and then

you might be thinking

TRUST and DANCE?

{yes, they're very related & the partnership & process of TRUST & Skating, too}

but the above image & message may or may not be

I'll let you decide.

[Trust in the Lord: Strive to Be]

"Trust is the foundation of any strong relationship, and in The Dance of Trust, you’ll learn how to strengthen it step by step. This workshop focuses on creating safety, openness, and reliability in your partnership, helping you build a connection rooted in mutual confidence."

Dancing for TRUST


I originally found out about this because I came across
 this image & wanted to use it

Verses
about Dancing before the Lord

"TRUST is a crucial element in DANCE partnerships {skating or any, for it to work} as it enables smooth and connected movement. It's a reciprocal process where the leaders must TRUST their partner to follow and the follower must TRUST the leader's guidance." ...

I hope you can see the same spiritual correlation that I see in the above.

"... Building TRUST in DANCE requires practice, communication and a shared understanding of roles and responsibilities."

I discovered an acronym for the 5 Principles of DANCEB.A.S.T.E.Body, Action, Space, Time, Energy"Do You Wanna DANCE"Kennedy Center
{I do know that Time or Timing is essential but for my case, I would use TRUST for the "T"}
It is also said that Space, Time, Force, and Shapeare the 4 main elements ofDANCE.
And the values of DANCE are:physical, creative, imaginative, emotional, intellectualdevelopment[source: Human Kinetics]

"In essence, TRUST in DANCE creates a framework where physical and emotional boundaries are respected, communication flows freely (both verbally and non-verbally), and dancers feel empowered to explore, create, and perform with confidence and authenticity."

Whether you agreed with me or you decided to as you read my "proof" that "Yes, TRUST and DANCE" relate, connect and are deeply intertwined and hold spiritual significance as well as lifetime lessons as you work on the process. DANCE became a beautiful & wonderful expression of my love & TRUST in the 90s and though my body has aged, the rest of me still senses much through DANCE and as you can see throughout this blog, a high interest & value to me, even if I can't leap or spin or move quite the same - there is always the aMazing GRACE from God! 💙

Through this week in our focus on "the DANCE", I'm sure we will see through Scripture and Readings that God is very much in tune with the movement & involvement of DANCE and building TRUST. {Perhaps "Stance on Dance" may further your interest or any of the links in this blog post to be convinced the important connection between God, TRUST & DANCE! 😉
