Drama Queen 6.20.2011
Drama queen. That’s a popular phrase today. Though it’s mainly meant for strutting toddlers sporting tiaras, feather boas, and magic wands, I’m afraid some of us grown women have missed the memo! 
I’m challenged by the words in 1 Thessalonians 4:11 that say to make it our goal to lead quiet lives. Obviously, quiet personalities aren’t necessarily godlier. What the word quiet means in the Greek is “rest.” And the Bible isn’t talking about sleep. It means our spirits are rested (and sometimes our mouths too!), and our lives are free of unnecessary chaos.
Some of us live so drama addicted that we find it hard to rest. Believe me, I’ve been there. And I don’t just mean drama with other people. I mean if we don’t have something to be stressed over, then we’ll make something up, we’ll create a situation. Life just doesn’t feel right unless there is drama involved.
But this is not the way God wills us to live. Sometimes we can’t control the crazy events that happen in our lives, but let’s not be women who willfully bring tension upon ourselves. Let’s learn to wean ourselves from drama and to appreciate the peaceful times we are granted in life. Instead of seeing down time as dull and uneventful, let’s understand it as time for rest.
So unless we plan on sporting those plastic dollar-store high heels and glittery wands, let’s leave it to the little girls to be the drama queens!
