“I Am” A Proud Drama Mamma!

Standard

In November, our church hosted a Thanksgiving Dinner for the residents of Gulf Breeze Apartment Homes…

Yum!!  So much food!  And such a blessing to serve and meet the residents!

Our Drama Team was invited to do a human video drama…

It was the first outreach for all our new kids…I was so proud of them!!

They did such a great job, that I had tears in my eyes!

We chose “I Am” by Eddie James…It’s really such a powerful song!

(**Click on the link above to see the human video drama that we based our drama on!  It’s really well done!)

(Here are the lyrics)

“I Am the Lord…

I’m the Almighty God…

I Am the One for whom nothing is too hard…

I Am the Shepherd and I Am the Door…

I Am the Good News to the bound and the poor…

I Am…

I Am the Righteous One and I Am the Lamb…

I Am the Ram in the bush for Abraham…

I Am the ultimate Sacrifice for sin…

I Am your Redeemer, the Beginning and the End…

I Am…

I Am Jehovah…

And I Am the King…

I Am Messiah, David’s offspring…

I Am your High Priest and I Am the Christ…

I Am the Resurrection, I Am the Light…

I Am…

I Am the Bread and I Am the Wine…

I Am your Future so leave your past behind…

I Am the One in the midst of two or three…

I Am your Tabernacle, I Am your Jubilee…

I Am…

I Am Hope, I Am Peace, I Am Joy, I Am Rest…

I Am your Comfort and Relief from your stress…

I Am Strength, I Am Faith, I Am Love, I Am Power…

I Am your Freedom this very hour!

You’re my Hope, You’re my Peace, You’re my Joy, You’re my Rest…

You are my Comfort…

You’re Relief from my stress…

You’re my Strength, You’re my Faith, You’re my Love, You’re my Power…

You are my Freedom this very hour!”

Yes, He is!!

Hey! Did You Hear? My Son Is Now Quoting Me On FB!

Does that mean I’m really a writer!?!  Ha!

It just started last week!

We were at drama practice sitting around trying to think of some good choreography…

For “Me Without You” by tobymac…

Great song!

There’s an instrumental part (sort of robotic-sounding) in the middle of the song…

And we were trying to think of cool movements for it…

So, as we were tossing ideas back and forth…

One of us (probably me!  Ha!) said,

“How about if Jesus was a robot in this part???”

Everyone laughed, except for one of our newer boys!

He had been asking questions all practice…

Like…

“Why do we need to BE a piano?

Or turn ourselves into musical instruments?”

We tried to explain how human video dramas are done at Fine Arts competitions…

If the song talks about a ladder…

We need to MAKE a ladder using the people in the drama…

If there’s a hill…

We MAKE a hill with our bodies!

Still he didn’t get it!!

So I guess the “robot-Jesus” idea was the last straw!!

He was so exasperated with all of us…

That he said, “That’s just really offensive to talk about Jesus like that!!”

That’s when I said the line that my son quoted on FB!!

“Don’t take us as seriously as you’re trying to!!!”

All the older kids cracked up…

My son wrote it down and posted it…

As a quote from his wise Mom…

And I got 20 “Likes” on his FB page!!

Two days later, I had a funny dream that I remembered completely…

Most of it was a convoluted story of us moving into a new house…

Realizing that it was falling apart…

That the previous owners left all their stuff…

Even a kielbasa/hotdog- looking food item in the grill, etc., etc.

Oh, and I dropped my cell phone in a lake!

Crazy!

But, at the end of the dream…

I was coming home late from somewhere…

And my retired cop husband was sitting in his car in a Foodtown parking lot where we used to live in NJ…

Waiting for me to make sure I was safe…

I saw him sitting in his car with the headlights on…

And I thought, “How nice!”

Just as I was going to turn right to pull into the parking lot…

A HUGE Moose

Came charging at the left side of my car!!

I was at a red light…

But, I said to myself…

“I remember what my husband always said to me!

‘If a HUGE Moose came at you, even if you’re at a traffic light…

Step on the gas and get out of there!!'”

By this time, after telling my husband and son this crazy dream…

We were all laughing hysterically!!

My husband does give us lots of safety tips…

But never once about a HUGE Moose!!

But, I got 30 “Likes” on that one!

One of my friends read it and didn’t understand it!

Guess you had to be there!

My philosophy is…

To never take myself or life too seriously!

Ahhhh…Laughter!

Belly laughs…

Joy, Joy, Joy!!!

Jesus, give me more of it!!

 “A joyful heart is good medicine…”  Proverbs 17:22

 “Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy;

Then they said among the nations, ‘The Lord has done great things for them.’”  Proverbs 126:2

 “A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance…”  Ecclesiastes 3:4

 “A glad heart makes a cheerful face, but by sorrow of heart the spirit is crushed.”  Proverbs 15:13

 “Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!”  Psalm 32:11

“I Need A Silent Night”

By Amy Grant
Our Drama Team will be acting out this song for our Christmas Outreaches…
Here are the lyrics:
“I’ve made the same mistake before…
Too many malls…too many stores…
December traffic…
Christmas rush…
It breaks me…
‘Til I push and shove…
Children are crying…
While mothers are trying…
To photograph Santa and sleigh…
The shopping and buying…
And standing forever in line…
What can I say?
I need a Silent Night…
A Holy Night…
To hear an Angel voice…
Through the chaos and the noise…
I need a midnight clear…
 
A little Peace right here…
To end this crazy day…
With a Silent Night!
December comes…
Then disappears…
Faster and faster every year…
Did my own mother…
Keep this pace…
Or was the world a different place?
Where people stayed home…
Wishing for snow…
Watching three channels on their TV…
Look at us now rushing around…
Trying to buy Christmas Peace…
I need a Silent Night…
A Holy Night…
To hear an Angel voice…
Through the chaos and the noise…
I need a midnight clear…
A little Peace right here…
To end this crazy day…
With a Silent Night!
What was it like back there in Bethlehem…
With Peace on Earth…
Good Will Toward Men?
And there were…
Shepherd’s out in the field…
Keeping watch over their flock by night…
And the Glory of the Lord…
Shone around them…
And they were so afraid…
And the Angels said…
‘Fear Not!
For behold…
I bring you Good News…
Of a Great Joy…
That shall be for all people…
For unto you is born this day…
A Savior…
Who is Christ the Lord…
And His Name shall be called…
Wonderful!
Counselor!
Prince of Peace!’
I need a Silent Night…
A Holy Night…
To hear an Angel voice…
Through the chaos and the noise…
I need a midnight clear…
A little Peace right here…
To end this crazy day….
With a Silent Night…”
Ahhhhh….
Thank You, Jesus…
For ending this crazy day…
With a Silent Night!
