The Chair

When you look at this chair, what do you automatically think?

If you were to sit on it right now, how would it truely make you feel?

And what does it represent to you in your life?

Of course, when we look at this chair we automatically think of a doctors stool in an exam room. Right?! So what is the signifinces of this exam chair. If you ever sat in it, you probably enjoyed swinging around, roll around, slide up and down and even maybe slouch on it. However, I have found that fun part of it is rolling around...& sliding on the floor. You know, like we did with socks.

The feeling I get when I sit on it- is some type of satisfaction of ownership. I enjoy the feeling of rolling, or swirving in circles. Feeling the little breeze and even the butterfly feeling, until I start feeling dizzy. Part of me also likes to hear it roll on the ground and the loud grounding sound if it rolls on wooden floors. It just reminds me a little bit of what happiness must be. Its just an exciting feeling.

The chair represents alot to me, mostly authority. For some reason when I sit and play on it, at the same time I have that "authority" feeling; even after a childlike play. Its like I have a sense of a very large bubble slowly flowing in the air and crown you with some kind of power. I know we laugh. It probably sounds totally stupid. But maybe at this moment you are having a "flashback" if you ever sat on that chair (or any office chair that swirlves and rolls).

In our lifetime, we have our ups and downs, our swirvling, and even our rolling when we face the tribulations and trials. Perhaps from spinning, we feel lost, confused, & out of control. Out of control...do you ever feel that your life is out of control or/and the things around you are? I know at times I do.

God is our greatest Physician and if we allow Him to sit on the exam chair and help "fix" our sorrows, our pain, the out of control feeling, the lessons from the joy sitting on His chair will give us the power to put our lives back in control . We don't have to be rolling around in anger and hate, or spin in circles with confusion, or slide up n' down in and out of love with ourselves.

That is what the chair means to me....not just an doctors exam chair.

It has power.

It has authority.

It has healing.
