I just finished the Show me clowns for Jesus convention and this was laid on my heart. I was hoping for open mic to practice my balloon infomercial skit with a live audiance (my rubber chickens have seen it enough they think it's good) but they didn't have it this year. So my clown group tried to get me on a field trip to preform it sounds good huh! Well change of plans they reassigned me to do room to room walk around with a new clown at a nursing home. (great that's not the stage preformance i was hopeing for Ugh!). I forgot to mention that i was feeling pretty under the weather for most of the week and the part of the weekend but if i could do the skit i could muster up the energy to get out there. So I was a little grumpy that I got reassigned but they said that I might still be able to do it they just didn't know. You see this is where God came in I was lunching alone and practicing my balloon skit. God spoke to my heart He reminded me that He gave me the talents, pasion, drive, and everything I have to be a great clown but He needed me to get out of the way so His work could be done. He needed me to to be obediant to His calling on my life. I felt this peace in my heart to go where He wanted me to go. Needless to say I didn't get the chance to preform my skit but I did get the chance to bless some wonderful residents at a local nursing home and they blessed me as well I had a great time!!! It's amazing that I know this that it's not about me or my wants it's about God and where He is calling Sunny to go so that He can bless me along the way in a fasion that I can't even imagine. How is it that I forget this simple thing so easily. I am thankful for a gracious, patient and loving God. May I not so easily forget that if I have Jesus in my heart I'm in the body of christ that I should be what He has called me to be a BIG shoe or a red nose. And to let my light in Christ shine for the world to see.

We where reading this post and just don’t understand, the Jesus thing, with practice, and thought, it’s not hard to humble ourselves, could it be more of self awareness with some honed skills? I don’t know, but dealing with people, you get to notice people and groups, but we get that same feeling from time to time from the work.

Many folks just don't understand the Jesus thing, I have found that when people try proving that Jesus either didn't exist or isn't the Son of God. Found that the evidence was very compeling that he did exist and that he was who he said he was. For me it takes more faith to believe in nothing that we become worm food when we die, that i our lives just don't have a purpose. Than to believe in a God that loved us so much that he meets us in on our level, felt our pain, and took the beating and death for us to have eternal life.
