It's Not About Me - Really, It's Not
I need to get into "creative mode". In one week I'm delivering a cross decorated (for lack of a better word) as a station of the cross. This particular cross is going to portray Jesus washing the disciple's feet. I've had a lot of ideas but now it's time to put them into action. I wonder why I'm hesitant. It's not procrastination. It feels like something more than that. It feels like a huge responsibility. I just don't want to get it wrong. I want God to use this cross to transport those who see it to a place of cleansing - His cleansing - the cleansing of His blood and into a place of quiet, matter-of-fact, glory-sharing service. But more than that I want it to portray the love that it took to do what Jesus did - both in the washing of the disciple's feet and in dying on the cross. I know that if I let go and let God that's exactly what will happen. Right now I feel like I have my hands wrapped tightly around these fence pickets that my friend, Kevin, stapled together into a crude cross. I need to let go. I need to take the next steps to bring to life the vision in my head. Get in His Presence. Form the idea. Get in His Presence. Buy the stuff. Get in His Presence. Do the work. Get in His Presence. Ask Him to bless it. Then it will be complete. Actually, now, having worked through this process, I'm excited! Because really, it's not about me at all. That is the best news yet! Here's a before picture:
