Give Me Your Eyes: Part 3

Do you ever have that moment when God reminds you that you’re not perfect? :)
So fun, huh?
In a post from last week I wrote about our night of productivity where we choreographed a dance, mapped out a drama, taught it all and filmed it in just a few hours - to the song Give Me Your Eyes for another church.
So great…so last night sarah and I went to St. Joseph’s church in Lino Lakes. to teach this dance. All you people reading this who know sarah and I are probably thinking – oh, I didn’t know sarah and jillian danced!
That’s because we don’t. haha…
But our trusty choreographers/amazing dance teachers were otherwise engaged for the evening…so it was up to us. and we were nervous. its one thing to stumble through a dance with our own kids who at least know we’re good at other things…:) but a whole other thing to do it in front of ppl we have never met. We’ll just call it humbling. ;)
BUT…God’s got it. no worry necessary. :)
We got there, the building is gorgeous, 2 of the leaders were there – and they were SO great to work with! They have really amazing hearts for ministry and for the youth and the community and just figuring out how to reach out using the arts. so cool to see and so in line with where our hearts are.
And after a few technical difficulties (not anyone’s fault…it was a ghost…so its fine)…we got things up and running and some of the girls showed up to learn the dance and through what is truly a testimony of God’s abilities to use just about anyone for anything (referring to the dance teachers for the evening…haha) – they learned it! they were so great and so patient…and they made it look so pretty :)
So it was a really good night.
Such a blessing to get to work with other churches and other ppl working in ministry.
We’ll be working out a video with lyrics and pictures this week, and gathering a mix of our team and more youth from St. Joe’s for another practice next week!
So fun :)
some encouragement – let God use you…even when it is not in your comfort zone even a little bit…because He wants His will to be done. He’s not going to let it fail. So just trust that if He’s calling you to it and its not something you think you can do – its cuz He wants ppl to see Him…not you. you just need to watch Him work…and make sure you pay attention – that’s the God of the universe inside of you working. You wont want to miss it.
So keep us in your prayers as we finish up details and pray that the right ppl step up to be a part of this and that it all comes together in a way that will preach the message of God’s love for His ppl!

And if you’re free – come check it out on January 12th :)
