A moment of silence!

I have taken a bit of time off of mime blogging, but I am back to say well nothing out loud cause I am suppose to be a mime. (your suppose to laugh)

Anyways I have to say welcome to a new mime member if I didnt already Eric Langley he has been on the team for several months now. Soon to be in a mime sooner than later.

I have been wanting our team to grow spiritually as a team and to go deeper in Gods love and glory. So I have been trying to do small devotionals before practice and to be honest I am not very good at doing it, so I am trying to really do it.

As a mime we take the silence or words in a song or music and bring them to life. We trying to create funny or silly environment to impact people in ways they never though possible. You can do funny, serious, energetic, or just plan useless things to get the attention of the audience that is at hand.

So in all the preparation that you do in practice, rehersing, learning, etc you must have one key ingredient for ministry and that is a passion for Jesus. Pursuring passion is what I am talking about. You cant minister to the fullest capacity if you dont seek Jesus and worship him and chase after him. We need to God after him like there is no tomorrow because are lives are but a vaper and if you dont do it now, you may never get a chance to do.

Jump in over your head, so deep that the only thing that you can do is depend of God's help and his source of strenght. (meaning Jump into his word and seek after him fully, for those who might have thought an actual river)

Forget jumping in Dive into his presence, chase after it until you get and then want more of it. Instead of trying to say meaningless things say nothing, or just be quiet and stand in silence and then is when you will hear from God like you have never heard from him before. Quit talking, and open your ears to hear what God is saying.

Mimes have to listen because their voice is on mute and so they cannot speak(or arnt suppose to), so they are there in a silence and have to look at people in the face to see deeper into someones hurt and pain.

Stand in silence with an open heart and mind and see what he will do in your life.
