Dancing on Daddy's Shoes.....

Life's a dance you learn as you go
Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow
Don't worry about what you don't know
Life's a dance you learn as you go

The longer I live the more I believe
You do have to give if you wanna receive
There's a time to listen, a time to talk
And you might have to crawl even after you walk
Had sure things blow up in my face
Seen the longshot, win the race
Been knocked down by the slamming door
Picked myself up and came back for more

Life's a dance you learn as you go
Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow
Don't worry about what you don't know
Life's a dance you learn as you go

I heard this song on my iPod yesterday, and it occurred to me that this is really true in life. We don't have life all figured out, and we never will. We don't have all the answers to our faith either, though we diligently seek them. Yet sometimes we get so wrapped up in the seeking we don't live our lives. And somedays it truly does seem that life is "One step forward and two steps back~
This kind of dance can never last."
Life isn't easy. And it doesn't always make sense, that's for sure. I know in my own life there has been a lot more crawling than walking lately, a lot of knocking down. But I'm still picking myself up and going on, whether crawling or walking, in faith, and trust, believing it all fits into the big picture somehow. So, I'm gonna struggle back to my feet, and carry on with the dance. Even if I don't know the steps I can't be afraid to try; I can't just sit around waiting til I can do it perfectly. I'm not in control here. And I know sometimes it seems the older people are, the less likely they are to even understand that life is a dance, cuz they have been around the block and certainly have things all figured out; and wouldn't admit to it even if they didn't. But that is not me. I know I still need to be dancing on Daddy's shoes...
