The complex difficulties of life can have a way of bringing you down. And down is not a place I want to be; and definitely not a place I want to remain.
So, today I begin a conversation about life as a means of sharing, and my way of casting my anxieties upon Him – because He cares for me. There is no better way to overcome than by releasing your troubles to God, and then giving Him praise for all He has done, freeing yourself to move onward and upward in His grace and mercy.
I begin with a praise report. Twin Pierrot is a dream come true - one I inked on paper and handed to the Lord a far time ago; and now it has come to pass. Gabriel called me up, what seems like just a moment ago, and said he had had a dream. What was revealed to him was that God gave us these talents, and we needed to use our abilities to glorify the Lord. So along with Gabriel’s business plan, Twin Pierrot was birthed. We made a decision and made a change, a progressive one.
Now, less than one year later we have a short film, “Jim and Della,” finalized and submitted to a Christian Film Festival. We have written an extremely well-received play, “Willing Hearts: A courtship Comedy.” We have memorized, rehearsed it and are ready to perform. We have performances in the books and are believing in God to multiply the numbers 7 X 70 times! Wow... God is good! The glory goes to Him.
It’s not always easy to turn down enticing theatrical productions – trust me. As an actor I get this itch from time to time to just sink my teeth into a really juicy role. In fact, I enjoy getting the offers. I feel honored that people want me involved in their shows, and if the right opportunity presents itself - one that fits into our vision and the Lord’s - we will talk. However, until then we support our friends and are so excited to see their shows be successful. But belief must be coupled with action – so we stay committed to our work, our service to the Lord.
Tonight I meet with Jeremy to continue discussing and to confirm our future plans for “The Truth Project” (Truth in Jesus + Truth in Acting). We are going to work with the youth of New Covenant, our home church, and create a powerhouse Drama Ministry. There are some tremendously talented kids we are so blessed to have the opportunity to teach and cultivate.
Hmmm... you may be wondering at this point – What troubles? She hasn’t really mentioned any. I guess I got distracted by all the good stuff. Funny how when you start looking at all that God is doing around you and devote your heart to Him, "you will surely forget your trouble, recalling it only as waters gone by.”
Until next time my friends...
