Last night I went ballroom dancing with some friends.
When I was dancing with one of my friends, he was trying to teach me a dance, and I kept messing up. Finally he stopped and looked at me and said " Stop Leading" and when I did, when I just followed his lead and released control we were able to just dance without messing up.
You see, I have been going through this lesson in life where I need to learn to be patient. I have trouble just sitting back and letting things happen with the natural flow. I want things to happen in a certain order and a certain time. And I most certainly like to be in control. It occurred to me that I need to approach life the way I approached the dance. Give up control and learn to follow the one who is leading. I won't be able to see what is coming because my back is turned. But the beauty of it, is that He is holding me close to Him and directing me to where I need to go. Once I learn to give up the direction that I think things should be going and just follow Him, the rest of the trip will be like a smooth dance.
