ok.......so its been about a week since the show and we had our first after project missions meeting. it was so crazy to see the show happen and end, but so cool to remember that its not over! that that was only the beginning! :) we still have 2 months of prep time, learning some spanish worship songs, learning some spanish, finishing up details, working on the documentary, etc etc etc. i am really excited to start our bible study, too! its a really great book on how to use art as worship.
AND earlier this week i was fighting some hardcore spiritual warfare, i felt so crabby and tired and unmotivated and just anti-social, plus my wrist was hurting like crazy.......so i asked a friend to pray for me and later on that morning i started feeling really excited, just so much lighter...so cool. God just removed all of whatever it was that was weighing me down. and then i started getting a lot of ideas about the show.............so crazy.
and so sarah and i have been talking and praying about it, seeing where it is God wants to take the show, the story, all of it.
and there was an idea that God had brought up via someone who came and talked to us.....but it seemed way complicated and we had NO idea how to go about doing it.
so we spent the week trying to figure it out, but nothing......so we left it up to Him.
so this morning at church i was sitting in service and all of a sudden i had a thought about the show, and i wasnt even going to write it down because i didnt know if it would be important or not. but finally i did, and just started writing it down - and it just kept coming from there. i just wrote without even really thinking for like 15 min straight. and all of a sudden realized that i had walked through the whole show, incorporating this new, super confusing idea that we had......and all of a sudden it all just worked and made sense!!! i was in awe. God is totally writing this thing!!!!!!
its so crazy beautiful and im so excited to see it all come together. we havent told the team yet, obviously, and i wont say what the idea is cuz it will ruin the surprise...haha...but just know that God is so sovereign and so faithful.
He is so in charge of this thing and i am just SO excited to see all that He is working on.......
this morning the sermon was about how we see things happening, but dont always see the hands that are making it move. and that is so true - its so easy to think that we do everything on our own strength, but God is making sure that in this - we see His work. that we recognize that its him. and its amazing the peace that comes with it.
so keep us and the team, especially the ppl who will be finishing up/editing the music and dances before we leave in june!
its going to be a lot of work, but so so so worth it.
pray that we can all be motivated and excited and get it all done by His strength!
and new favorite verse......Isaiah 51:15...God is the one who stirs up the waves so that they roar. He is our amazing creator and He knows how everything was intended to work - so we need to continuously let Him lead us and get out of the way so He can do what He needs to do! :)
