- Passion
- Personality
- (Potential) Partner.
My Passion was theatre. It allowed me to express myself with my voice and body; the 2 elements that are now disintegrating everyday due to this horrific illness.
My Personality was that of an extrovert. I liked making nonsensical (but hopefully funny) remarks, joke and “flutter” around during social settings. I enjoyed socialising very much but now I feel repressed, because I’m unable to do what I used to like.
A (Potential) Partner was definitely on my list ‘to get’. Well, I used to be quite the hopeless romantic and it was pretty much impossible for me understand “celibacy” or end up without (the) one.
BUT
God, being God and super great (read: gracious) replaced ALL of the above in my life by knocking His sense into me... His invaluable P!
Yup, His PERSPECTIVE!
My previous Ps, now with this renewed PERSPECTIVE He has granted me have shifted so dramatically:
Firstly my Passion should be for Him and His Plans & Purposes. So, if its not theatre now (or anymore), it must be something else. I’d just have to wait for His leading to find it!
Secondly He is my creator so He definitely knows (& values) my limited Personality. It could now be time to develop the introvert in me - then I’d be perfect! For Him.
Lastly my desire for a Partner has been eliminated & I’m amazed and super thankful for this miracle. Actually it’s very hard to imagine having to manage another relationship in my life given this condition of mine.
While enjoying these new Perspectives I’ve been granted, I’m also delighting in another P of His everyday.. His Power! Yes, I experience this at every moment whenever I ask for help every time I need to overcome any inconvenience this illness brings me. :)
