I LOVE dancing in the rain!!! However, living in Arizona, you sometimes have to make your own rain!!! So it is in life that we need to take the time to make our own rain. Often we are so busy waiting, waiting, waiting that we miss creating our own oportunites to enjoy life. I am not talking about stepping out of the will of God to reach your desires.
.
It's like when your waiting in a LONG, LONG line at the bank or a grocery store. You can't leave if you want to get what you want. So what do you do? You wait! While you are waiting in line you have a choice; you can complian about waiting or you can finds something to do to occupy your time. Think about it we all find something to do while waiting in line, like make a phone call, text message, day dream, talk to the person in front of you, write a to do list, read a magazine, etc...
.
I don't know what it is in life that you are waiting for, it could be marriage, a career, children, a big house, the call of God, but I do know that in life we are all waiting for something. And usually we have to wait on a long, long, long line before we get what we want.
.
So what do you do while you wait in line? I try to get as involved in God's kingdom as possible. I do outreach, teach bible class, act out in crazy skits, sing in the choir, work a job, love kids. I try to do all the things I feel God has called me to do. My desire is to live my life by Ecclesiastes 9:10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might...
.
I'm also, the kind of person that you will find having fun. I still like sleep overs and giggling like a 15-year-old. I love little girlie accessories and stuffed animals. I collect pictures of cute guys and carry them in my purse and hang them on my bedroom walls. I still like writing and singing silly songs about guys I like! I am always ready to go to the next church conference or play a good game of MASH.
.
People often will shake their head teasingly and say, "Mary, HOW old are you?!?!"
"Twenty-five", I proudly say. Because, I don't think I am being immature. I am just finding something to do while I wait in line. It's called enjoying life. Lametations 3:25 says, The LORD is good unto them that wait for him... So while your waiting find something to do. Try creating your own rain to dance in.
