One of my favorite shows of all-time is Alias which aired for 5 seasons from 2001 to 2006. I still remember watching my first episode at Michelle & Steve's house & thinking I really don't see what all this hoopla is for. Why in the world would someone want to watch someone jump over things exploding while wearing a wig, 4 inch heels & a party dress.
But the more I watched it & the more I was drawn into the story of the horizon, rambaldi & all his prophecies & the role Sydney Bristow played in the whole thing. If I'm perfectly honest I'd have to admit that I really want to be her. She has this amazing ability to look so cool while kicking butt, saving the world and landing the man of her dreams (oh Michael Vaughn...how I heart you). Now who else can do that?!?!
I think something that is so interesting is how often times in our lives we desire so much to be someone different than we are. Does that make sense? I am totally this way. I often wish that I was dating someone like one of my friends, or married to the man of my dreams or that I would have kids that I could be a mother to. However, at this time the Lord has asked me to be faithful in what I am doing at this moment. That I am to wait on what is next, even though being patient and waiting isn't necessarily a quality I possess, but know the Lord is faithful.
Whatever the situation that you may find yourself in, just know that others have felt the same. At some point we all wish that we were in a different place in life or that we could put on a wig, heels and a cute dress and be someone different than who we are in "normal" life. Just trust in the One that holds all of our pieces together for our good. What do you think? Do you see yourself wishing at different times in your life to be someone else or be somewhere else in life? How do you handle the waiting?
