"but you go right, I go left
you go forward, I go back
and we're dancing this waltz alone
you go up, I go down, lost our grip
and now we've found ourselves
dancing this waltz alone" - hush now. catherine feeny.

i remember the first time i ever danced with a boy. it was awesome. i'm not even a good dancer at all, but i remember feeling like i was - just because it was a good thing. it was so much fun.

there's something beautiful about dancing with the person you love. whether it's just goofy dancing or for real dancing, it's just... good. a nice, peaceful, love-to-be-living-right-now sort of feeling.

so think about that in your head, and then take away the dance partner - the love fixture.

that's how life had gotten for me. Jesus had invited me to enter into this dance with him on february 23, 1990. a beautiful sort of dance. let's say it was the waltz. the crème de la crème of lovely dances. i had never really taken his hand. i had never really experienced what dancing with the ultimate romancer was like until i let myself go like i had when i had danced for the first time with the boy.

then, when i was dancing with that boy, i was confident - certain of myself and where i was at in life. distractions, and pain began to clutter the beautiful love that was in my heart and regrettably, i lost so much of my self. it was no fun to dance that waltz alone.

now, i am confident. i'm certain of myself and where i'm at in life. i've taken the hand of my Dance Partner and it turns out he loves me even more than i love him. because of that love, the pain that was becoming all too distracting has diminished and i am back.

and i'm in a nice dress too, thanks for asking.
