dancing with my daddy......

i danced with my daddy yesterday. what happiness filled my soul. i was filled with sheer delight. i felt like a little girl in the arms of her father. what freedom and what bliss i experienced with my heavenly father on Sunday. to be in the presence of the Lord with complete abandon, and know that he is delighted with you.

do you remember being in a beautiful dress that was a whirly twirly dress. well i wasn't in a dress, but i certainly was whirling and twirling with my daddy yesterday. as we twirled together, hand in hand, i remember the warm sunshine on my face just a few short weeks ago. even though there was other people in the room, i was in my secret place with my daddy. He ministered to me love, peace, grace, mercy and sheer and utter joy. He smiled at me, and i smiled at Him the way a little girl smiles at her daddy. in that secret place i felt safe, loved, not judged, worthy, appreciated, adored and so full of love that i could have burst out of my skin.

there are no words to describe how i felt. i remember dancing with my earthly father at my wedding. how safe i felt in his arms, even though i was 22 years old. i remember looking into my father's eyes and feeling so loved. i knew he was so proud of me, even though there were no words spoken. just the way he held me let me know that he approved of my life and my choice in my mate. my father's loving gaze told me of his acceptance.

that's the way my heavenly daddy made me feel yesterday. like i was once again in my wedding dress, dancing on my wedding day. and even though there were 200'ish people at my wedding, while i was dancing with my father, it was just me and him, swaying to the music. the same took place yesterday. just me and my heavenly father dancing with delight in each other. what peace flooded my soul. i just long to stay there with Jesus in our secret place.

just like i kissed my earthy father on the cheek for dancing with me at my wedding, i humbly bowed down to kiss my heavenly daddy's feet. thanking Him for His sweet, sweet presence.

i love you daddy.
