Twilight Zone

1-06pm

Sometimes crazy things happen. I have to admit that I am in a bit of a twilight zone right now. Mentally and emotionally I’m working hard at adjusting to the idea of ‘working from home.’ Our home recording studio is looking good. So this morning, right after the show, I had my hair cut (aaaah, feels so much better) and then did some shopping. I arrive home after that with a list of things I need to do. I have to do some financial stuff. I have to do some washing, cook for Mike, do some computer work and the blog. After I got home I was a bit unsettled, trying to figure out what to do first. I don’t want to waste time. I cleaned up a little, put washing in the machine and then went and did the computer work. I finished it, watched something I recorded on TV and then was just planning dinner when I suddenly GASPED! What time is it? My heart  starts pounding in my chest…I grab my cell phone and look… aaaah, only 12-30. Relief! My mind was somewhere else. I have to get to Wayne’s studio at 3-30pm to record a telephonic interview with Michael W Smith. I had COMPLETELY forgotten!!! :-/ What a  nunu!  It’s such a big event.  It’s all about his recently released amazing new worship album Sovereign.

He’s looking good! So if all goes according to plan, the interview will be aired on Rise and Shine tomorrow morning around 7-20am.

My heart has been warmed by the response to me leaving Rise and Shine. It really has. I’m hearing the kind of things people say after someone has died, so I’m glad to still be here to appreciate them! An illustration I like to use is that of my son David playing his guitar.

After another brilliant performance, we always go up to him and congratulate him on his playing. There’s a hug. There’s smiling and pride and great eye contact. Encouragement and gratitude for a job well done. We praise him. No one has EVER congratulated the guitar.

In the light of Rise and Shine, I’m just the guitar. I’m really glad you think the guitar has done a great job, but if any good has come from the show, let the Musician get the glory.

2 Timothy 2:20-21

In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use.  Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.

I will continue to strive to be an instrument for a special purpose, but just not on Rise and Shine. I have got a long way to go to be holy. I am sure my voice will still be heard from time to time on CCFm. 🙂

And now, back to my to-do list.

God bless you!

In His Grip,

Helga xx 🙂
