A couple of days after I wrote the previous blog entry, I came across friends, and phone calls that touched on this issue as well. Many conversations about wanting to use our talents, giving over talents we have been "sitting on" for selfish reasons, etc. It's been awesome.
I did talk to one very good friend of mine, she's a worship leader, and an artist like myself. She calls me her twin, just 12 years behind. :) We talked on the phone for hours yesterday about this very topic. The ideas have been narrowed down and simplified for me, after spending time with her in conversation and then in Prayer afterwards with Jesus.
It comes down to this: When wanting to be one of the ten "ready virgins", having a full lamp of oil is from spending time with the Lord, He is my life, He is how I am "ready". Also, to take more seriously the "What is that in your hand?" question. My focus right now, is to finish the things I have started. Work on projects I know need to be sold, and also read the last 3rd of a few great books I've started! (And find a job!!!) Haha. It may take some time... it WILL take some time, but God is patient :).
SIMPLIFY!!!!!! SIMPLIFY!!!!!!!
For now, I need to get moving on some practical things as well as finishing these art projects. I feel change in the air, or perhaps I'm still in the semester time-frame habit of things :) ... So pray with me as I look for what God has, living and job-wise... I really don't want anything else. Pray that the voices around that are so loud, are silenced and His direction is clear.
