Babies being born.
Homes being bought.
Old homes being uprooted; new homes being established; states being explored.
Bodies being broken; muscles being ripped, stronger.
Marriage vows being promised.
Old memories losing its novelty while new ones gain it.
Cause and effect.
Reaping and sowing.
Don't grow weary.
Change is our only constant.
Rough patches change to smooth seasons. Tranquil moment bleed into chaos. Catastrophic surges hush into stand-still silence. Money comes, money goes. Casual acquaintances transform into life-long friends; life-long friends turn into acquaintances.
Where do we find our rhythm and courage to join in on this life’s unpredictable, thrilling, spontaneous, off-beat dance?
Waking up and living this life, inhaling and exhaling the breath in our lungs is a gift, more than we know it.
Life is a dance worth participating in no matter if you don’t know the words to the song or can’t dance correctly to the beat. We forget that…
life is a dance.
There is a scripture that has cradled me in exhausting and taxing seasons that has become such a great comfort and a reminder to keep on living, savoring, and dancing:
“7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8 Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.”
Keep doing good in all seasons. Keep dancing no matter the song that life is singing at the moment. All that you want for yourself today, this week, this month, this year, is at your grasp. Hear your song, embrace it for what it is, and dance.
“Try to keep your soul aways in peace and quiet, always ready for whatever our Lord may wish to work in you. It is certainly a higher virtue of the soul, and a great grace to be able to enjoy the Lord in different times and different places than in only one. ”
