So I'm laying in bed here on this Saturday morning, marveling at the fact that I am awake before 10am. I looked over at my wall and read through the quote I painted there a few months ago.
Life's not about waiting
For the storm to pass
But instead, it's about
Learning to dance in the rain.
That last line has been almost like a life motto for the past year or so, and I was reminded of it again today. I love to dance, but ever since my injury two years ago, I just haven't been able to do it. I miss it terribly, but know that In my spirit, in the depths of my soul, I can still dance. I'm not waiting for the storm to pass, but instead I'm learning how to dance through the difficulties life throws my way, metaphorically speaking of course. I find joy in the little things (like the fact that I am no longer on crutches!! and that I didn't have to get a cast or surgery, merely a boot for my injured calf muscle!! yay!!) and I've learned that despite my circumstances, I can be joyful. It's all about your attitude. I choose to have a positive outlook -- a friend of mine inadvertently taught me the importance of that back when I initially injured my ankle and did not know the importance of staying positive.
Yes, I miss the life I had before, but I know that God has a plan and a purpose and promises to "work all things for the good of those who love him and who have been called according to his purpose." I do my best to embrace that fact each day, especially when I feel like a dork traipsing around in my boot. God is good and that doesn't change no matter what trials may come. I am delighted and humbled to call him Lord and know that he knows exactly where this all is heading.
Praise the Lord for his new mercies each morning! =]
