Think you missed the beat?

I am one who has to work hard at not being overly self critical. I can often be found tying myself to a whipping post for a good round of self-flagellation regarding some misstep, misdeed or mis-whateva that I have committed... oh I forgot "mis-spokeness". Anyone been there? lol... Anyway, recently the Lord has lovingly been letting me see that the missteps to the beat of life that I have often thought spoiled the dance routine, may actually be a "ball-point" catch in the dance routine, and even if it is not so you just have to keep a smile on your face and keep on dancin' cos at the end of the dance, you just might be surprised to find yourself at the receiving end of a standing ovation...

This is what the Lord spoke to my heart:

'Don't get discouraged and stop dancing because you missed a beat, cos your perceived misstep just might be part of the beat, the unexpected foot work that catches the attention and makes one go - Wow!'... So keep on dancing!
But remember you must keep listening...

Out of time, into time, in it’s time

In the face of muses,
Muses of her self I see
See I, in the many faces,
Shades of sameness,
Each the one alike,
Each the one, uniquely placed,

Created from out of time,
Into time, seen in it’s time.

Gap-toothed smile,
Awkward first kiss.
First love, last stop,
Before arrival - "Grown-up Grove"
Under the shade reminiscing,
Underwriting indelibly etched.
Etched and shaded in the sands,

Predestined from out of time,
Into time, etched in it’s time

Beginning and end,
‘Ternity, finitely contained.
Contained in this vessel of Clay
Precious gifts grandly displayed,
All of this I kept for you.
For you, all this I saved,

Brought from out of time,
Into my time, kept in it’s time.

Far away, a world away
Brought as close, as close by fate,
Straight into my path, warmth into my heart,
Warm, willing, waiting aflame.
The flame in the hearth
'Scription "Home sweet home",

Arriving from out of time,
Into my time, sweet in it’s time

Promises made, promises kept
Promised words in secret, openly fulfilled
Grateful heart satiated and satisfied
Wholly blessed by "The One",
Wholly from out of time brought He you.
You, the face I now see,

Welcomed from out of time into time,
You in it’s time.

Me to you,
You to me,
From out of time into time,
Made beautiful you to me,
In it’s time
For me…
