There is a time in a womans life that she must prepare for "the dance."  This dance is the start of womanhood.  Imagine it in this since. 

     You receive an invitation to the biggest ball of your life.  The invite is designed for you and you alone-meaning you can't call your girlfriends to tag along.  You must look your best, for you will be acquiring a dance with "The King."  Hair is done, nails are polished and the gown exquisite!  So, you arrive at the ball and you stand around the ballroom floor awaiting "the dance."  Now, there will be others who will ask for your hand, and you have the choice to deny it or accept it.  But, my sister, it is best to wait for "The King" than settle for "a jack."  If impatiience takes virtue, you might dance several times in dissatisfaction, discomfort, dissappointment and disallussion.

     These dances can cause anxiety, weariness, slumber and grief.  Most of them seem endless and countless.  But with patience, "the dance" can be the most beautiful moment in your life.  "The dance" with The King is slow and sultry.  It is peaceful and poised.  It is "the dance " with the love of God that surpasses all others.  It is the eternal dance of His undying and unchanging love that guides a woman to true womanhood and teaches us our purpose and value.  Amen.
