Steal my show

It has been a while since my last post.  Part of me has not wanted to write out what my heart has been going through over the past few weeks.  The other part knows I need prayer as this transition continues to move forward.

I leave Molokai in less than 5 days... and on top of cleaning, packing, spending time with friends, hosting a baby shower, finishing up grad school projects as well as requests from other things that I have been responsible for... I have been trying to get things rolling for my new position in a country where I will have to learn their culture and ways of doing things as well as the contacts needed to run a school well.  All of this has been so far above what I can do or handle in my own strength. (I personally feel like I have been an emotional basket case!)  When I try to do it in my own strength... I stress and don't sleep... which only plays into the downward spiral of emotions. 

Ultimately I want God to just "steal my show"...(lyrics below from Toby Mac) I have come to the conclusion that I can't do this on my own and if He doesn't show up at every moment... I will fall flat on my face.  This entire transition is all about obedience to Him despite my feelings or emotions. 

Yes I have a lot of onlookers in this journey but the prayer of my heart is when they see this journey ... they don't see me but Jesus!  It is all about His story in my life... I am just a cracked pot that He chooses to use.  He has center stage! 

STEAL MY SHOW by TOBY MAC
Another cold night  Another Late Flight
It's almost show time, and diverse city is waitin' on me
We got a packed house, the crowd is callin' out
They want the beat to drop, but what we really need is you
(Chorus)
If you wanna steal my show, i'll sit back and watch you go
If you got somethin' to say, go on and take it away
Need you to steal my show, can't wait to watch you go-o-o-o
So take it away
So now the crowd is hype, that you showed up tonight
Anticipatin', cravin', somethin' more than smoke and lights
So i'll step out the way, I'll give you center stage
Alright, Spotlight give 'em what they came for
(Chorus)
When you arrive, we come to life
Our hearts collide, they're beating in the same time
You're comin' through, all eyes on you
Our hearts collide they're beating in the same time,
Beating in the same time
No matter who we are, no matter what we do
Every day we can chose to say
(Chorus)
My Life, my friends, my heart, It's all yours, God, take it away, my dreams
my fears, my family, my career, take it away, It's all yours, God
Take it away, take it away, It's you I wanna live for
