"Let Him Catch You"

A couple of months ago, my ballet class started learning our dance for the end of the year recital coming up in May.
During part of the dance, there are partner parts (that's fun to say), and for the first time, I got partnered.
I'm not the greatest dancer, and didn't know the first thing about dancing with a male, but nevertheless, I was up for the challenge.
A few Mondays ago, my dance teacher was giving notes on the dance and told me, "Really step out into your arabesque- let him catch you."
That simple phrase has stuck with me ever since.
You're probably expecting me to turn this around by saying "step out and let Jesus catch you", and, not gonna lie, I was going to do that...
But the reason "let him catch you" has stuck out to me so much, is because I struggle with letting others in on my dance, and trusting them to catch me in life.
I have no problem trusting Jesus to catch me, but when it comes to trusting my brothers and sisters in Christ... I often find myself backing away, or growing uncomfortable.
I don't want to be afraid of dancing with others in this dance of life, but with my independent spirit, I find myself refusing to let others help me out- to catch me when I've taken on way more than I can handle alone, or to help direct my sight back to Jesus when I'm wandering.
More often than not, I tend to take on way more than I can handle alone, and refuse help from others, believing I can do it better on my own. 
But that's simply not a healthy way of living. 
Taking on everything yourself, and refusing to let others help you from time to time, is only going to lead to stress and discomfort in life.
That's not how I want to live at all. 
I want to surrender to the music, deny myself and all of my doubts and fears, and live this life for more than a solo. 
Because life is more than a solo.
The truth is, this life is not about me. This life is about pointing up to the One Who will never leave us, or let us down. I want my life to be a reflection of His greatness, even just a glimpse of it, and I can't do that if I'm unwilling to let others come alongside me, or even take center stage, every now and then.
The fear comes in when the trust is absent.
And yeah, sometimes someone will drop us, or fail to catch us, it's guaranteed because we're all flawed and sinful. 
But if we ultimately dance the dance for our King, He will never let us stay down. 
He will always catch us, no matter how many fail to, and send others to help us when we need it. 
This dance is a risk, and it always will be, because we don't know the intentions of others, and we never will in this life. 
But we can't let the risk keep us from the dance.
It's time to step out, and trust that even if others don't do their job, and we fall... We will never stay there. 
Don't try to do this dance all by yourself. 
Let them catch you.
But ultimately, and here it is...
Let Him catch you.
