Next weekend Jen and I will be going to Hollywood where I will be doing a lunchtime presentation to Variety International about the work being done in Pestel. In the evening of next Sunday I may have opportunity to talk briefly about the work at a black-tie event for the same organization.
I'd like to think that I'm to the point where I'm always in a state of wonder but never surprised (Because, hey! Why shouldn't it happen?!?). But this black-tie event which will feature certain celebrities is a different twist.
The inescapable truth is that God is being made known for His Goodness through my weakness.
And that's my prayer. I want others to see how Good and Great, how Mighty and Merciful/Compassionate He is.
I'm also beginning to realize, if this is accurate, that God seems to have a sense of humor. Perhaps I'm wrong about that one, but all this sure does tickle my funnybone. And while God doesn't have a funnybone, He certainly does have all Joy. And this might be one expression of joy.
So this is yet one more area where I feel quite outside my comfort zone. I feel over-stretched beyond my abilities. This is in many ways, UNcomfortable. Jen reminded me of a statement I made once to her when I told her that I will always take up the opportunity to talk on behalf of the people of Haiti.
"Always" is a bit of an exaggeration. She didn't buy that cop-out, though
:)
I've got a lot on my plate right now, preparing for a number of significant activities in a short period of time. Thank you to all who pray for me, my family, the people of Haiti.
