These words recently rang true for me:
If we let go of our corrosive, mistaken presumption that we are somehow responsible to supervise the work of God and instead allow ourselves to be humbly and easily used by God, we soon become more supple, able to bend gently, easily to forces much larger and wiser than ourselves, and taste each new surprise as an opportunity, a blessing, a delight. Then, the magnificently impossible Kingdom of Heaven is ours.
Wayne Muller, A Life of Being, Having and Doing Enough
Renewed and refreshed from my sabbatical, I am now
embarking on a project to bring my healing meditations to a wider audience,
recording them onto audio media. This
has been on my heart for so long that it has always felt like "my"
special project. As I look at the way
the Spirit has moved though to draw around me all the people and resources to
now enable this to happen, I believe it to be a work of God in which I am
simply playing a small part, alongside a talented team of people who were
previously unknown to me. Godly
serendipity has been at work! Give
thanks for this and please pray for all involved in this project, that the
Spirit will flow through us and between us to create something of real value.
Please pray too that all the practical details of a dispersed team working
together will be easily overcome.
We begin recording in early March. In the meantime, there are various logistics
to be considered and scripts to be adapted and rehearsed alongside the musicians. As I work on preparing scripts to record from, I am
beginning to realise that recording something onto CD is quite different to
delivering a meditation to a group of people that one is, at some level,
interacting with in the Spirit. Please
pray that I will be given wisdom to know the best way to present things.
To give space for the above, I won't be leading any
events before May this year, but there are meanwhile two books in the
pipeline. An Advent manuscript is
currently sitting on a publisher's desk, awaiting a response, and I very much
hope that the long awaited 'Deeper' will become available later this year. Please pray that both of these books will get
into print.
In all of these things, I am acutely aware that God is
the one taking the initiative; in bringing together the right people at the
right time, in anointing people with various complementary gifts, and in
birthing the flow of creativity. May
all we do be for His glory.
Thank you for your continuing interest in my ministry: I
very much value your prayers .
Do watch this space.
