So I love how I put into print that I would work more on writing. And here I am weeks later finally coming back to the blog to post. Ridiculous. Sigh.
Tonight is the first time in awhile that I have reached the end of the workday without running to the next meeting at church, catching up with a friend, or simply having a long to-do list at home. Therefore, I find myself curled up in a blanket while the storm thunders outside. Since I need background noise or I find myself making my own, I’m tuning out So You Think You Can Dance.
At least I was tuning it out until a young man named Alex performed. He danced to “Hallelujah” and captured my attention. Quite and reserved in the introduction, he left nothing behind when he danced. The judges were visibly moved and more than one person the camera captured had tears in their eyes. It was a picture of how all the details, passion, and work coming together can make 2 + 2=5.
The thing that brought tears to my eyes was the proverbial lightbulb that clicked on as I watched. What a brillant snapshot of how the Lord can multiply our efforts and do beyond what we can ask or imagine. I believe it is possible and that the Lord desires to do that, and I just saw a glimpse of what partnering with Him in that looks like. When I give my all, the Lord can multiply it and reach heights that I could never on my own. He can do that without me no doubt, but sometimes it feels like trying to drive a car with the emergency brake on when I’m not fully cooperating.
So tonight I’m longing for a chance of my own to give it all. I may think I can, but I know the Lord will. Time to practice some steps with the Lord.
