I didn't say anything about dress or "modesty". <br />I think my comment applies even after further explanation. :-)<br /><br />Again, I am sorry you had a sour experience. I hope you have forgiven them, to prevent bitterness/offense seeding itself. I am glad you found a place where you could worship with ease!MommySetFreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09108945088100513996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7303462433904424263.post-75198563080097168412012-06-13T23:37:14.583-05:002012-06-13T23:37:14.583-05:00The issues that were brought to me were not ones o...The issues that were brought to me were not ones of my modesty. Other peoples modesty yes, but not mine.<br /><br />I was not talking about dress modesty in my response. I was talking about the bigger issue of performance versus worship. I thought worship should be the most important thing. Isn't that why it is called "worship dance"? Others were focused on the performance and it got to the point where I did not want to dance any more.<br /><br />I was tired of the tears, sleepless nights and stress of wondering if I was going to hear that mistakes were made. And there were a few times I was called to task after service was over (same night) to be told I had not done it correctly. Doing it incorrectly meant I was not doing it exactly the way it had always been done before. <br /><br />Sometimes there were big changes, that had not been made by me, but the person before me. Even though I was following the person before me, somehow all these changes became my fault.<br /><br />Other times it would be little things such as I paused too long, I added/deleted a step, etc...<br /><br />Those were the things I was talking about. I stopped dancing in that place and eventually left because all the noise was interfering with my ability to worship. How wonderful it was when I went to a place where it was okay to make mistakes and they did not expect perfection. Breath of much needed fresh air for me.abriannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09011852272421372985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7303462433904424263.post-18412000454795404352012-06-12T15:31:53.630-05:002012-06-12T15:31:53.630-05:00Abrianna,

I suppose we all have them. It is wise to always consider our brothers as more precious than ourselves in any gathering of people. We wouldn't want to cause a brother to stumble. This is another expression of worship...loving our brother. <br /><br />Ideally, we can come together with pure hearts and minds to worship together...if that is not possible with a group of people....there is nothing stopping us from worshiping in dance when we are alone!MommySetFreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09108945088100513996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7303462433904424263.post-36351494327664926752012-06-11T21:32:40.298-05:002012-06-11T21:32:40.298-05:00Thing is, even in places where appropriate dance i...Thing is, even in places where appropriate dance is going on, one can not be too passionate or too open.<br /><br />I know this from painful experience. and these are places that say dance is important to them.abriannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09011852272421372985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7303462433904424263.post-91640551274804637432012-06-03T01:06:40.724-05:002012-06-03T01:06:40.724-05:00whole heartily agree :o)whole heartily agree :o)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14409786180828911864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7303462433904424263.post-58559710032234419912012-06-02T20:31:00.034-05:002012-06-02T20:31:00.034-05:00Thanks for the post!Thanks for the post!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15787801234743433111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7303462433904424263.post-63788506938090118842012-06-02T09:00:50.965-05:002012-06-02T09:00:50.965-05:00Shalom Pamela,

Of course we see that dance has been used for evil, but where did it originate? Scripture definitely talks of those who dance before YHVH.<br />Shalom,MoiraMoirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14552392538483187179noreply@blogger.com
