This is harder than we dreamed, but that's what the promise is for..............

So this is one of my newest favorite songs.  I can't get through this song without crying.   The words speak to my heart.  These songs are magnified when you're going through something tough and you realize God knew we would walk through this together and he gave us each other to do so.  I'm so encouraged by this song.   This is harder than we dreamed- we never thought we'd be going what we are  but we're here- and by God's strength and promises we will get through it.  Whatever the outcome is- whatever he desires for us.  When I look at life and all the horrible things that happen I am just so thankful for my health, for a loving husband, for  a God who constantly forgives me and loves me, and for a family who is by my side no matter what.    I know that things can change so quickly and I know that we take so much for granted.  I have already seen in my life the way a life can be torn from us without any warning.  It's so scary to me to know I'm not in control of my life or any of those I love.  It's scary to think that in a matter of moments life can drastically change.   
This one's for you Dave- thanks for sharing this journey with me and thanks for dancing through this crazy life with me.    I wouldn't want to do it with anyone else.   Let's keep dancing in the minefields.   I love you.

Here are the lyrics:

Dancing in the Minefields.

Well I was 19 you were 21
The year we got engaged
Everyone said we were much to young
But we did it anyway
We got the rings for 40 each from a pawnshop down the road
We said our vows and took the leap now 15 years ago

We went dancing in the minefields
We went sailing in the storm
And it was harder than we dreamed
But I believe that’s what the promise is for

Well ‘I do’ are the two most famous last words
The beginning of the end
But to lose your life for another I’ve heard is a good place to begin
Cause the only way to find your life is to lay your own life down
And I believe it’s an easy price for the life that we have found

And we’re dancing in the minefields
We’re sailing in the storm
This is harder than we dreamed
But I believe that’s what the promise is for
That’s what the promise is for

So when I lose my way, find me
When I lose loves chains, bind me
At the end of all my faith
to the end of all my days
when I forget my name, remind me

Cause we bear the light of the son of man
So there’s nothing left to fear
So I’ll walk with you in the shadow lands
Till the shadows disappear
Cause he promised not to leave us
And his promises are true
So in the face of all this chaos baby
I can dance with you

So lets go dancing in the minefields
Lets go sailing in the storms
Oh lets go dancing in the minefields
And kicking down the doors
Oh lets go dancing in the minefields
And sailing in the storms
Oh this is harder than we dreamed
But I believe that’s what the promise is for
That’s what the promise is for
