When do you know where the boundaries are? When do you know when to speak? How do you know when you are supposed to stand and when you are supposed to walk, run, or tiptoe? It is interesting that the older and more mature I become in the Lord the less I seem assure or know. Many would contradict and say I should be more solid. He is new every day. As I walk I experience new aspects and areas of Him that up to this point were unknown. I read in a book recently that our walk with Christ is like a dance. The music is always playing, but on the dance floor there are no steps painted, no scripts in a book, no sheet music. You just have to listen, trust and step to the music playing.
Wow isn't that life! We don't know what is our next step, what tomorrow holds, what relationships will blossom or wither...yet we hold tight to who He is, sometimes through tears and dance. We dance. Sometimes to slow music, sometimes to fast music, sometimes to strange music, but He always knows the direction we are supposed to be going. What if there isn't one perfect dance song?! There are times in my life I thought I knew the directions I was supposed to travel. I was confident. Looking back, the music became hard to dance too. It changed me, shaped me, made me who I am today. Questions I ask now are how could I have avoided the pain, heart ache, sorrow, and loneliness. But was I supposed to dance through it anyway to become who I am today?
I was earnestly asked, how do I proceed without knowing if I will get hurt, make a mistake, or end up broken again. How do you answer? If your heart does become become broken and hurt, we know that you are still alive, can heal, and will be able to love again. Isn't that what life is about, dancing, loving, living.....
