Joy to the World

Sunday was our Children's Christmas Program, to which I was in charge and stressed about! Although I was very stressed about the whole thing, of course it went great.

Throughout practices I kept finding myself thinking it has to be perfect, which in fact it did not!  I have been trained in acting and theatre for so long, it was hard for me to realize the most important thing about this is the children and more importantly the message. I have been studying performing arts since 8th grade and it is such a passion of mine, it was hard to just let the kids run with it.  I had the privilege to work with the best kids I could ever ask for.  

Everyday the Lord teaches me to just relax and chill out.  As I write this the verse "Be still and know that I am God," keeps popping in my head.  Why can't we just be still and let him take the lead? Because we have to be in control, that is why.  We think we can do everything on our own, and we are DEAD WRONG! 

Something just hit me as I have been writing this, I have been waiting on an email from someone and the waiting is about to kill me. But, why? I need to just "be still" and know that God has got this in the bag.  It will come when the time is right, which is NOT right now.

Just chill out!

Until next time...Jeremiah 29:11
