Success! What an exciting moment and treasured accomplishment! After all the hard work, sweat and toil, a good show can be PARTY worthy. That happened last night as the kids performed in their first “theatre” type show in San Francisco. We had a great audience and local crew who all made us look and sound fabulous. But the performers brought it. I mean brought it. To the very end they had the focus, energy, and joy that made the whole expereince worthwhile. I say performers because while the kids were excellent and cute, but the African adults provided the glue that really held the show together. And yet, it was like rubber cement; their energy just bounced off them and hit the kids. Impressive.
The creation story comes to my head as I think about our night. Strange, I know, but there’s something very similar to our time with this show and the first six days of the world. After each day God said, “It is good.” Such is the case with this show, “It was GOOD!” But God didn’t stop after one successful day of creating. He kept going. And this process took time and effort as much as that can be quantified with God. But none the less, he didn’t just wake up and the next day was done. He had to do more than just pronounce the day good. He had to set the sun and moon in their place. He had to make the creatures of the land and the see. Each new day that followed a “good” day included work and growth beyond what existed. So I don’t think a better analogy could be said of the choir. They had a good day, and tomorrow will be another day to work at making good. Of course, flying home to NC doesn’t really count, but the following days and weeks will include rehearsals, other concerts, school, and play. Each one of those moments is work toward a good day- another good day on stage and in heaven where the angels are dancing.
