Grace for Today ~ My Television Appearance
*If you're having trouble viewing the video link at the bottom of this post, please click here to watch the Grace for Today TV interview directly on the Sufficient Grace Home page.
This weekend has been a whirlwind of activity and I've been battling a cold that's slowly making it's way to my chest. I have so much I would like to share about Easter, our trip to the Creation Museum, and other things rattling around in my mind and weighing on my heart. But, for this post, we'll focus on today's events.
Today, I was featured on the Grace for Today television program on TV 44 out of Lima, Ohio. I arose early this morning to sip my tea and pray for the events of the day. There was little time and energy to do much more than pray in preparation, but praying is enough. After all, God's part is always bigger than our part. Our part is to pray, be ready, and go where we are sent. God does the rest.
This morning's devotion verse found in Our Daily Bread was a fitting answer to my prayers:
"The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me,
Because the LORD has anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives,
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD,
And the day of vengeance of our God;
To comfort all who mourn,
To console those who mourn in Zion,
To give them beauty for ashes,
The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
That they may be called trees of righteousness,
The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.”
~Is. 61:1-3
I smiled as the reassuring presence of the Holy Spirit washed over me, whispering His love into my heart. I nodded, thinking, "Of course that's today's verse," as I was reminded of the One who has made beauty from ashes in our lives.
We arrived at the studio at 8:30am...please excuse my hair. I'm not really sure what was going on today...some sort of flat iron debacle creating really flat hair! Not my best hair day!! Ahhhh...humility.
Unfortunately, the above photo is the only one that Becki can be seen in. If you look carefully, you can see her in the reflection...carrying my load of stuff. That's how she looked most of the day...her arms full of Comfort Bears, my incredibly heavy and overflowing purse, and other various items. I'm so grateful she was willing to come and support me in today's adventures. So appreciate her prayers, love, friendship, and the time she gives to serve in this ministry.
The above picture shows Sheri Ketner (host of Grace for Today, and producer for TV 44) and me chatting away during this morning's live broadcast. We really enjoyed our time at Channel 44 today. Sheri is so kind and thoughtful...and just a beautiful woman of faith. Everyone made us feel very welcome and loved. We have more pictures from today that we'll share later when we have time to download the rest.
But...I thought, maybe you'd like to see the appearance...
First...just a few disclaimers before you watch...
Again...not my best hair day...please overlook the mess that is me. Despite appearances, I did do my hair before I left the house today!
There are a few things I didn't say that I wish I would've said: I wish I would have mentioned the names of Faith and Grace...
I wish we would have had a little more time so that I could talk more about the ministry...
The book that has my short story is really an anthology with several authors of various short stories. I don't want a misunderstanding there...
I wish I could have shared a little more how God has worked through this ministry...and that we've been able to send Dreams of You Memory Books all over the country...
But, there is only so much time...and we all know how much I like to talk...
So, tonight...I'm just trying to accept that I said what I could in the time allotted, and that God's grace covers all the areas where I fall short. It's not about me anyway. I pray that He will be glorified...and that others will find comfort. Please note: There is about an 8 minute introduction to the show before my part begins.
O.K...enough of my words...
