I Tried To Lead And Stepped On Her Foot

from Starting Right · host DannyMac

This episode was originally broadcast in the midst of Covid on  May 20, 2020,  The Pandemic is gone but these truths still speak to us.  Enjoy!One awkward ballroom dance lesson exposed a problem I didn’t want to admit: I don’t just like having a plan, I like being the one in charge. My wife and I showed up nervous but hopeful, learned the basic steps, and then the music started. Within seconds I’m stepping on her foot, wobbling through the rhythm, and feeling that familiar tension rise when two people try to lead at the same time.That small moment opens a bigger question: who is leading my life? Proverbs 16:9 says we can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps. I talk through what that looks like when our sense of control gets shaken, when timing feels off, and when the “next step” isn’t obvious. It’s a short Christian devotional built for real mornings, where faith has to meet calendars, relationships, and the pressure to figure everything out.If this encourages you, subscribe for more daily starts, share it with a friend who’s feeling stuck, and leave a review.
