Just Dance

17Feb09

Just Dance it’ll be ok…lady gaga croons these words straight into my soul.  Sometimes I like to think of my relationship with God like a dance…sometimes we waltz, and sometimes we tango or cha-cha, it all depends on the day or the hour sometimes even the moment.  When I sit in front of the tabernacle and there is silence around me and my God, I think of us slow dancing aroud an empty floor to the whispers of angelic wings…and in the Alleluia at mass on Sunday I think of a lively jive.  but regardless of how we are dancing he holds me in his arms and sometimes that is all I really need. The conversations are not complex, and there are times when I wish he would tell me specific answers to some of my questions but most of the time it is me rambling and him responding “I know” or “I understand” or most irritatingly of all “You can do it, just keep trying.”  Sometimes I feel like I am five and I am begging my Daddy to take the training wheels off of my bike, and he keeps saying “just a little longer” and “someday” and “right now you still need them.”  Ironically I shall admit that God is probably right I still need training wheels, I still need the dance lessons. 

The root of the frustration is paitence.  And accepting that I will never know what tomarrow will bring, as often as I talk about how things must be done in God’s timing, I wish his timing  would hurry up. But for now I shall take the words of Lady Gaga and just dance because everything will be ok.
