Day 19 “A Blessing”

Tonight, I was blessed to be part of a variety show benefiting a mission trip to Guatemala at Oakhill Baptist Church. Performing in the show was a drama team, a dance team, several people singing, and a poetry reading. I was next to last in the line up with my illusion show.

There is not doubt that God was glorified and the Holy Spirit was moving through the entire evening. The music set the table for the night and the skit brought a powerful message based on a true story of one person’s influence for the glory of God.

Then came my part which is mostly comedy mixed in with illusions along with a message from the Lord. My timing was off and the first trick didn’t go as planned. However, the night, as well as my performance, was all about glorifying God and being obedient in the command that Jesus gives us in Matthew 28:19 – To “go” …

While I felt that my performance was not up to par, the audience was very appreciative, both during and after the show. In spite of my “weakness,” Jesus was made strong. One of the most beautiful aspects of desiring God is using the talents that He gives us to share with the world the love and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
