You did a great job of creating some sensational songs. Congratulations! My favorite one is Island in the Sun. I hear a hint of U-2 influence. May you go gold or platinum.
Many years ago my husband and I would often go to parties. We weren't Christians back then, so in our opinion, we considered that music had the sole purpose of being danced to.
We would dance a lot. But sometimes the disk jockey would get caught up in a certain kind of music we disliked. So we left the dance floor and we'd wait for our favorite music to play again.
Sometimes my husband would kindly request the disk jockey to play some favorite song of ours, or a special kind of music to dance to. And off we'd go again a'swinging and a'dancing.
Okay, but what has that got to do with self-directed learning? More than you think.
You see, the other day I heard somebody make a frustrating exclamation about his life, "They play the music and I have to dance to it."
Inevitably I had to ask myself, "Whose music am I dancing to?"
Immediately I realized that there are so many of us who are dancing to another's song.
You try to move and sway to the rhythm, but it doesn't come from the heart. You just go through the motions. Everybody else seems to be happily dancing, but you just cannot manage to tune in.
It's not your song.
We all have a unique song in our heart. A song God put there. And He specially designed and created us to dance to that particular song.
It is a song that would keep us on the dance floor forever. We'd never get tired of it. Because it is so deeply rooted in our innermost being. It is our passion, our dream.
Whether we choose to listen to it or not, that song will always be pulling at our hearts. Calling us to dance.
Today I want to ask you, "Whose music are you dancing to?"
Are you gong with the flow, or are you passionately pursuing the dreams God put in your heart? I'd like to invite you to go for it!
