Throw it down!!!

Last night I was blessed to have been asked to sing at a small concert. I debated about whether or not to do it and decided to go for it. My mind told me to "make my mark" here at PSR in ways other than thru music...but God's leading said...Go for it..."lay it down." How right he/she was again.

I sang "Moses" one of my favorite pieces by Ken Medema. At the end of the number, God tells Moses to "throw down" his rod so that He (God) can use it. Isn't it ironic that sometimes the things that give you power (ability to make a mark) are also the things that can get in your way if you don't let Him/ Her have it? I hope that makes sense to you....it does to me. It is the inspiration that God gave me to get me thru my "not measuring up" week.

Today, I am headed off to San Mateo to a Creative Worship Workshop. My new friend, Jeri Handy is the Pastoral intern there and has been a great force of encouragement for me during my first weeks here at PSR. Thanks you God for Jeri and Marge.

For those of you that I have not spoken to in a while, know that I feel your prayers and concern. My mom is doing much better and is out of the ICU. If things go as planned, she should be home by Monday. Bless her heart....a week and a half in the hospital for a knee replacement. Continue to pray for her and my Daddy. She has a lot of catching up to do in her rehab, after being laid up with her heart situation.

Bye for now...So today...lay down everything that you have to God...the things that get in your way of being who God wants you to be like a job, a broken relationship, prejudice and bigotry...BUT....They can even be the talents that God has given you...He can use them for all sorts of wonderful.
