Dancing Through Chronic Illness

About a year ago, I got a herniated disc. And in March, it will be 5 years of being chronically ill.
A couple of weeks ago, I got so frustrated because I missed dancing so much! So, I danced just a little bit, moved slowly, and it worked. I didn’t get a flare-up like I usually do. So, I have been trying to dance a little bit at a time.
Growing up, dancing was a way for me to express my emotions and suffering with a silent voice. It has been hard through the storm of my illness to not be able to dance through the heartache. But that is where God, Jesus Christ, comes in. He knew I needed to fully rely on him, to make room for him to do his work in me.
This is where I am at right now. I’m taking baby steps. I hope and pray that God will finally allow me to start moving again!
