Ugh...No! I consider myself a pretty good dancer. I'm Latin..it's kind of...I hate to say a requirement, but yea anyway. My marriage doesn't always feel like a "fine" dance. I picture us more of two tightrope walkers. And we're still in the circus that you're not really sure if it's safe to take your kids to or not.
Our feet will not always flow so lightly. The pole that keeps us patterned isn't always lead by the power of the Holy Spirit. Instead of staying focused on Him, the center of attention becomes the world around us. My pole becomes like clay, weak and unreliable. His becomes like iron, hard and too heavy. And we cannot balance where I've no longer been able to carry the weight.
But while some parts of it will be as strong as iron, other parts will be as weak as clay. Daniel 2:42
How do we get this right when all around us we're blinded by the spot lights?
When we decide to stop looking down for the safety net to catch us when we fall. It's when we finally lift our hands in praise and worship letting go of some imaginary pole to balance our marriage. Our harmony will not come from some man made object, but from the God who made man. So, we let go and ignore the center stage of this crazy circus called life.
It's not always easy-we're like children we need reminding of the rules as we walk out the doors. But just as we love our children, our Father love us and He continues to welcome us back. I wouldn't trade my circus for any other and wouldn't walk the tightrope with anyone else in this world.
(psst...as for the dancing-I'm a much better dancer than he is...:) )
Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble. Likewise, two people lying close together can keep each other warm. But how can one be warm alone? Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 (NLT)
