As I was watching “Dancing with the Stars” last night I was thinking back to when I was a teenager and older.  If there was something that I couldnt do, and really wanted to do, I would do it in my mind.  In my mind I was able to dance and was a good dancer.  You can feel the music and see yourself as yu are dancing with someone, and doing all the steps-kicking your legs and flowing with the music.   It was a beautiful sight.  In reality I was not dancing, I was listening to music.   But, God allows me to see myself doing what I’d really like to do.  God is a real awesome God.  He allowed me to grow up and He brought people in my life that would tell me about things that they were doing.  I’d sit there and imagine myself doing what they were doing.   I could drive in my imagination.   I was always going somewhere, like in the mountains.   The scenery was quite beautiful.  I was able to go see mountains when I was younger and when I first got married.   I went over the Continental Bridge, which looks like it is suspended in mid-air.  I took my wheelchair over it, and could feel it swaying back and forth. 

I believe God gives us imagination so that when we get depressed we can always imagine ourselves in a different world, and God will help us get out of our depression.  When we are depressed, we tend to put our own interpretation on what is really happening.     Sometimes instead  of working a problem out we will just get ourselves stuck.  If we pray and ask God to help us, He will show us a way out.   The best way I have found to get out of myself is to help somebody else.   When I help somebody else, I say to myself:  “What were yu so upset about?  Things are the same as they were yesterday, and yu were ok yesterday.  Why cant yu handle today?”.  My disability will not change.  I will get older and have more arthritis, pain and immobility.  But, if you keep dreaming, and keep yourself active, then God will help you thru whatever problem you have.   I find that what is a problem today probably will work itself out.  I only have to give it up to God and let Him guide me.   I always keep dreaming, because in my dreams I can be the best dancer, drive across the country, and not have a disability.  I can do whatever I want.  Someday when God decides I will not have a disability, in heaven I will be whole and be able to do anything that God would have me do.    That will be a glorious time.   We wont have the trials and tribulations that we do now.  We wont worry.  We will be reunited with our loved ones.
