On the stage and behind the scenes

REBECCA –
If aptly applied, these final five of the top ten corrections made on the NarroWay stage might transform your life.
Rehearsal Principle 6: “COME PREPARED!”

BIRDIE –
The Bible says “how can you prepare for what you don’t know is going to happen?” (Ecclesiastes 8:7) That’s not what this NarroWay correction is about.

REBECCA –
This correction is used when a cast member knows we have a rehearsal, knows he has lines, received his blocking, was given a costume, was sent a practice track and still comes in clueless.

BIRDIE –
We aren’t talking about someone who tries and messes up. We’re talking about someone who doesn’t try.

REBECCA –
And so ... that’s the story of how NarroWay came to be.
And it all started waaaaay before it actually started,
with a Word from God,
in an unexpected moment,
at an unlikely place,
to an undeserving person.

“You will call the company NARROWAY PRODUCTIONS.”

BIRDIE –
It wasn’t spoken as an invitation: Will you start a company?

REBECCA –
It wasn’t a prediction: In the year 1996 you shall make preparations for a company at which time you shall call it NarroWay Productions.

BIRDIE –
It was a statement of fact.

REBECCA –
God was giving us a heads up: Hey girls, this is your future.

BIRDIE –
Some people think finding God’s will is like reading a horoscope. “This is your day!” “Love is in the air.” “A storm is in your future.”

REBECCA –
Close your eyes. Open your Bible. Drop your finger on a passage and that is your lot in life. I did that once when I was a kid and landed on “Man of Sorrows.” That was my last attempt at biblical fortune-telling and could be the reason why I was reluctant to marry!

BIRDIE –
Finding God’s will for your life doesn’t require a theology degree. In fact, if you’ve ever taken a road trip, you already know how to find God’s will.

REBECCA –
Years ago, when we were in Kentucky, a bunch of us friends took an annual ski trip to Colorado. Oddly enough, this road trip, not seminary, taught me how to walk in God’s will.
