onto week 5! last night was dance practice...:) we asked Ashley Hart to choreograph a dance/drama to open up the show as the first scene, giving her some guidelines and music by Chelsea Kimball (beautiful song...love it). and she did an amazing job! both choreographing and teaching. she's an awesome girl with a willing heart. we didnt get all the way through it yet, but its going great. sarah and i are learning it with them, and yes we are all basically professionals and learned it right away, no trouble at all. ;) i wish...haha. for me personally, if there is something i know i am not really gifted in, its dance. BUT luckily our team is incredibly talented and open to trying new things! they are learning and im excited to see it all come together.
and i love seeing members of the team come together and offer ideas and suggestions and then see the final product come out of it. such a blessing to see the body of Christ working together the way it is designed to.
but the night did not go 100% unaffected by the enemy...we got there before it all started and were working with Ashley to get some details worked out for the dance we were going to teach...and she had forgotten her binder, and then as she was going to dance, completely forgot what she had planned.
NOT good...so we stopped and prayed and just commanded satan out of our practice and prayed that God would guard our minds and ideas and all of it and allow us to teach and speak and just keep satan out...and He did. Praise God! it was a great practice and we didnt have any trouble speaking at all!!!
something God has been speaking me to about is how we fight the enemy. and realizing that this show we are being called to put together...is all about God's love. and everyone that sees this show, will hear the message that "God loves you, God is always with you, He will never give up on you..." and from that moment on...satan can no longer use that lie in their lives. He can no longer say "no one loves you, you're alone, you have nobody..." he cant. that lie has been broken and has lost its power. because now they have heard differently.
we, as christians, are God's weapon. and by learning and practicing we are being sharpened and fine tuned...and then when the time comes - God will speak His message through this show and satan has to just sit by and watch. watch all his hard work be nullified, watch what he worked so hard for just slip away.
his walls will be cracked and weakened.
and while he can try to get in the way...he can't stop it.
God's gifts and callings are so much more than talents. when we allow Him to use them through us, speaking and spreading life into the world...they are power.
so my prayer is that we wont even let satan have any sort of foothold. that we can stare him down and make him realize that he has no power over this team or this show and that we can fight. stay focused on God and what He has planned.
