This morning I turned to The Living Word, my script for this movie, and here it is, God wowing me once again. From Psalm 40:5
"Many O Lord God are the wonders you have done.
The things you planned for us no one can recount to you.
Were I to speak and tell of them
They would be too many to declare."
And verse 8 was a reminder of a prayer written in my journal:
"Here I am, I desire to do your will"
The episodes of this movie must be shared. So here is one of them.
He came like a hurricane to our home, welcome yet forceful; loud and fast moving, controlling yet caring. Leading the conversation, passion pouring out for a worthy cause; living life for a purpose but not "the purpose."
The All American family. Wonderful & caring parents. Responsible, hard working and honest. Loved fully by the One who is waiting to make them royalty. Like minded friends visit the scene. Creative and comfortable with their lives. Will they drink the water that will quench their thirst completely? Does anyone want more?

A substance foreign to our counter rests there, something called brandy. This and it's cousins are what the whole world seem to need for relaxation, conversation, having fun and just living. It isn't that the glasses are always full, but it seems to be a central part of many life movies.
Defeat was not felt but frustration. A sadness and grief for him and his family because God has sent them to our set to be in this scene at this time. Before they arrived we invited the maker of all, the breath giver, to be the director and producer of everything.
The prayer at lunchtime of a little girl who volunteers to pray is heard across the heavens. While picking raspberries she says "I want my dad to go to church too". It is that part of the movie where you get your kleenix and hope to see her request played out.
Conversation sitting on the deck under the warmth of the sun is directed by divine intervention. The leading of His Holy Spirit to testify of this Jesus, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, who is our One and Only Savior, who suffered and let darkness cover him so it doesn't have to cover us.
Love cannot be described but that day it pierced the darkness in this hurricane and brought him home.
Passion redirected. Purpose transformed.
The deep joy cannot be described. It's like the bursting of the sunrise, full and colorful and shining bright. So the sunrise comes and it is not the end of this movie, but only the beginning.

Life without our creator, can you imagine? And there are millions who don't know. I'm glad that you know and are one of His blessed vessels that He is filling and using.
