Won't You dance with me

     Erica Norton, the amazing wife of my professor John Norton, has just introduced me to a song that has captured my heart completely.  "Dance With Me" by Chris Quailala is a song that captures one of my favorite things to do with God: DANCE!  My soul longs to dance with the Lord and this song stirs that desire even more. 
     I'm sitting in an airport in Helsinki, Finland listening to this song with big black headphones that drown out all the noises around me.  Members of my Around the World team are sitting, walking, and conversing around me but I'm in my own world.  Nothing else seems to exist but these words that drip out of this mans mouth, into my ears, and straight to my soul.  I want to so badly get up and begin dancing in the middle of this airport, there's plenty of room to do it too.  We're sitting down stairs near our terminal and there are big areas open, inviting me to frolic.
    I love that the Lord has created each one of us to have different passions and talents. Each one of us is especially unique.  These Around the World team specifically has so many unique gifts and passions in each person.  We all fit together like a puzzle to form something beautiful. I feel so blessed to be on this trip with all of these amazing people.



Dance With Me by Chris Quilala
Behold You have come over the hills upon the mountain

To me, You will run. My Beloved, You've captured my heart
Won't You dance with me, Oh
Lover of my soul,
to the song of all songs?


With You, I will go You are my Love You are my Fair One
The winter has passed and the springtime has come

Won't You dance with me, Oh
Lover of my soul,
to the song of all songs?
Romance me, Oh
Lover of my soul
to the song of all songs.
