and all i kept thinking about was this:
regardless of the genre, the tune, the singer...
how many of us are willing to stand up in front of a crowd of strangers and believe in ourselves enough to risk failure, if only to fulfill an internal calling.
i witnessed an incredible act of service today at work. working in a post-concussion clinic, one of our clients was extremely out of sorts. after she couldn't find her drivers license, she began to get weepy over the fact that her mind kept drawing up blank and she couldn't force herself to recollect things she should have known. a complete stranger overheard, and immediately came up to the desk and got to work. she handed over a complete list of instructions for this lady to follow in order to get the help that she needed, called a cab for her and told her she would be calling her the next day to make sure she got in touch with the people she needed.
as i sat watching, i was completely humbled.
how often am i losing sight of myself?
how often am i acting as the hands and feet of Jesus?
how often am i willing to stand before complete strangers, if only to fulfill the calling of the Lord?
