Confession 001

I’ve decided it’ll be good to confess to you guys.

Why? Well, maybe because I’m not made fun of enough in real life.

Or maybe, my confessions (sometimes serious, sometimes not so much) will encourage you to get things off your chest, too.

So, here we go. My first official confession is…

I love to dance but am downright awful at it.

That’s right. I’ll wait for you to finish laughing before I proceed.

I really enjoy getting my groove on (and when I DO dance, I give it my all) but darn it if I’m not the worst dancer on the planet. Word is I blinded Jimmy Trudoe at my senior prom with some of my moves. And I mean blinded in a bad way.

I wish I were better at it. I mean, I can keep a beat, and I can throw down the whitey dance like no one else. But if I have to do anything that requires coordinating more than one body part at a time in some sort of rhythmic movement, you can count me out.

Watching me dance is like putting Roseanne Barr’s Star Spangled Banner on infinite repeat.

If aliens invaded Earth, and the fate of humanity was resting on my ability to bust a move, all I’m sayin’ is, hunker down. The ride’s about to get very bumpy.

I just can’t do it.

Ok. Your turn.

I know where you're coming from, I can't dance, but I don't really like to. I do like to write though, but most of the time if somebody else reads it, it does not make sense (it's getting better though). There ya go!

I am a great chair dancer..as long as I don't have to stand I am good. I think dancing is kinda like worshiping God, it is all about the heart. If you enjoy it go for it. Just tell people that you are with that you can't be held responsible for injuries. You go boy..drop it like its hot!!

Don't worry that you can't dance. Just do it for the Lord. He loves your dancing! I can't sing at all. Just last month I heard the Lord tell me this " I gave you that voice so use it to worship me." It has made me think differently about my singing. So dance away!
