No need to fear! When we say ‘Dance Almost Naked’, of course, we are talking about the scripture from 2 Samuel 6, where David strips down to almost nothing and dances before the Lord. 

As single parents, we can be preoccupied with getting everything right. Overthinking, analyzing, being self-critical and making sure we don’t let any balls drop can weigh us down and squelch out joy. God calls us his kids, and the one thing we know about kids is there is a sense of abandon, innocence, and wonder inherent in all kids. Somewhere along the way, we lose that sense. And when we have been wounded we start to lose that beautiful, carefree spirit that, like the kids on the mount, just ran to Jesus, seemingly unaware of the gravity of who they were running to. Or like a king, David, so filled with Joy that the ark of the covenant was being returned to Jerusalem that he 'loses it' - strips down, out of his royal robes and dances it says, ‘with all his might’. 

So, as we think of self-care - what would it look like for us Solos to ‘lose it’ from time to time, let go of convention, embrace the joy of just being God’s kid? How good would that be for our hearts?

Today we discuss what that might look like and some tips for moving in that direction.
