Wait on the Lord

 

Soar on wings of an eagle

Chris had never been known to be a “waiter”; instead he always threw himself headlong into many diverse adventures…here, there, here...He loved the adrenaline rush, the way it drove him. After that rush came his pride and carelessness. Being a fireman can do that.

Who and what Chris was then changed radically when he became a man whose greatest desire in life was to wait upon the Lord.  

Be intense, diligent… …taking on the most mundane of tasks.  Wait upon the Lord…were the words running through his mind                                                                             when the alarm bell rang.

“Take it, Chris!” cried out a fellow fireman.  At the clunk sound of hose thrown to him, adrenaline surged. Gripping the heavy hose tightly, Chris reminded himself ”Time to serve!”  as he raced into the blazing house.  

YouTube from movie "Fireproof". Video is about 4 min. long.

 

 This is from a movie, and it impressed me.  Kirk Cameron is the lead actor.  He is an Evangelical Christian who lives what he preaches.

This was a Wednesday Word challenge to writers to try out some skills.  I removed the underlines that would normally be used.  This is from 2015, and I feel awkward using them again.  I give credit to Elephant's Child and River who have maintained this after Delores handed it over. She has retired, doing battle with the computer had that effect.  She no longer maintains her site.
