It is finished...

Do you remember the feeling you had when something you worked so hard on is over? Maybe it was a baseball season or a party, well mine is the play. It's over!! I honestly feel good, not relieved, it wasn't a burden to me. It was fun!! Everything went great, not by my planning or the actors preparation, but by God's presence being with us the whole time. I can probubly count on one hand the times I have felt God's presence in my life, and this was definetely one of them. I had no sense of negativity or stress on the day of the show. And I really feel that I gave Him my cares for that day and He took them. It reminds me this week of God's ultimate sacrifice. He took more then just my cares and worries, He took all of my bad days, short comings, pain, all my sin, and put it on His back. It's hard for me to grasp the greatness of that sacrifice, and I think this weekend gave me one small glimps of the freedom we can have in Christ.
The seniors beauty appeared in so many ways to me. Their love for me was overflowing. They were oblivious of the mistakes or the nerves of the actors. They shared stories, emotions, friendship and wisdom with me. I am so overwhelmed by the blessings of my job. Where else can all this happen, then under the wings of Christ.
