Noticing involves intentionality. It seems that the more one “notices”, God’s
hand in her life situations, the more God allows her to really see. Awareness becomes more constant/consistent.
“Notice” verse--Come and see what God has done, his
awesome deeds for mankind! (Psalm 66:5) Begin to LOOK for it!
Noticing involves focus and sometimes even positional change can give a new perspective.
Focus and position are essential in our "dance" especially in times of struggle when the "closed position" is needed, both in stance and time away from distractions. Focus on your "dance partner." Time in His Presence. Remember the One who is leading. See self as the "follower."- · Close contact is employed as two dancers face toward each other.
- · A sense of connectedness occurs as the “leader’s” right hand is on the “follower’s” back, offering “step” security.
- · The “follower's” left hand is on the “leader's” right shoulder or upper arm near the shoulder, allowing an extra sense of directional change.
- · Palm to palm in an upper-hand clasp, the “follower’s” right hand is in the “leader’s” left hand, providing guidance.
- · Feet are often positioned slightly offset so that the right foot of either partner can step between the other partner's feet, aiding in transition.
- · Eyes are lifted thus the focus is away from the feet and ears are open for “whisper” clues.
