Welcome to my blog spot.
I
entitled this blog "Dancing to the Rhythm" because that is really the
best way to describe what I am striving to do in my life right now. A number of years ago my family began learning that G-d has appointed a rhythm of time for His children to
live by. His calender revolves around set times that are constantly
pointing us back to Him, back to the way of righteousness. All these act like check points along the journey that keep you focused on the
race, that let you know you are going the right direction.
With
all that in mind, the time in between check points is just as
important. For example If you have a special engagement, you mark it on
your calender, you prepare whatever is necessary for that event ahead of
time, and in someway shape or form it is constantly in the back of your
mind. The same is true for our walk with HaShem. If we just "show up"
for Pesach(Passover) for example and have not first prepared our houses,
hearts, and minds, we are missing the whole thing. I want this blog to
touch on all the aspects of "dancing to the
rhythm of righteousness", from the nitty gritty practical stuff, to how
that applies, and is so necessary, in teaching us more about HaShem.
Everything
has a rhythm in this world, and it is very easy to get caught up in the
plethora that the world and today's society throws at us (pursuit of
money, education, career, holidays of the world, technology etc.). The
difference between these rhythms and the Rhythm of Righteousness is that
they seek to draw you away from G-d and deceive us into thinking that
that is where we will find our total fulfillment in life.
In
dancing to the Rhythm of Righteousness I am allowing someone else to take my
hand and lead my steps. And though I may have to participate in some
aspect of the "world's rhythm" it is not the rhythm that I will allow to
govern my life. It isn't what I am going to let define me as a person.
It isn't where I will find fulfillment. This only will I find in the
arms of the Leader: the Creator of the dance.

Simply beautiful! Kalandra, the description of your journey is artistic in and of itself. Stay with your writing. You're good at it. I'm just another blogger that has been looking up people who have Torah in their profile. And I found you :) Shalom!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comment. I feel bad that this blog has been stagnating for quite awhile. Life moves in cycles and it would seem I am riding a cycle now where my attention is required elsewhere leaving me with little mental stamina to keep it up as I used to. If you are interested in Torah living from a biblical, scholarly, Yeshua centred perspective I strongly recommend checking out torahresource.com. All the best in your pursuit of our Saviour and Master Yeshua(may he be blessed forever and ever).
