THIS is Why She Went to Hollywood!

After our daughter Grace graduated from Brenau University with highly trained musical talents of vocal performance and piano, she told us she was going to Hollywood, CA. She was riveted on getting there due a call from God to shine the light of Christ in Hollywood -- in hopes of making a difference with her God-given gifts and talents. I believe Grace, a Georgia Girl, has gone to Hollywood as an actress to bring Christ to Center Stage!
She planned to begin her new journey by enrolling as a student at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, CA, and in two years she graduated with a M.A. in Worship Arts. She was ready to get a 'church job' and began praying for opportunities to audition. God opened the door for her to appear in more than 80 prime time TV show episodes as a 'background' actor. She has been a runway model and has been able to use her singing, playing and dancing talents in musicals in small Hollywood theaters.
Her flame has been fanned and her passion to proclaim Christ as LORD continues there. Her most recent effort to glorify God in Hollywood was her appearance in a reality TV show called Baggage, hosted by Jerry Springer. I have attached a link to the video. (It's Season 3, episode #18.)
I need to warn you that when I first began watching the video I was alarmed at the trash talk of the contestants and the host's encouragement of such language. And then they gave Grace a chance to share a little bit of her heart. That's when joyful tears came to my eyes and my heart exploded in thankfulness! In the midst of all the lights, the stage, the audience, the famous host, and viewing audience; Grace boldly shared her love for her Savior, His Word and unashamedly talked about her own purity.
What happens next? I don't know. The outcome is up to God. All I know is that God's people are called to tell others about Jesus and to introduce the lost to His Greatness. "Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." (Matthew 5:16)
May God continue to bless the faithfulness of the next generation as they boldly seek to glorify God with what He has given them!
HERE IS THE LINK IF YOU WANT TO WATCH THE SHOW -- ABOUT 20 MINUTES LONG.
May God have mercy on U.S.!
For His Glory,
Polly

The Sista is Truth Hungry

“..the truth will set you free” John 8:32   Hey Sistas, does any of this sound familiar? She has a major case of battle fatigue from believing lies from her dark enemy. She’s been absorbing these lifelong lies about herself: that she’s worthless, good-for-nothing, and unforgiveable. She is truth hungry! Sometimes it’s so hard for her to feed herself the truth of God’s word because she’s exhausted from trying to resist the deceitful voices screaming in her head. Sometimes she gives into the lies and then clothes herself in guilt, shame, fear and anxiety. Her weariness wakes up her old belief system and it creates sleepless nights. Even her daylight hours seem to drag on and on. However, since she’s a Christ-follower, this doesn’t happen to her every day, it’s just when she doesn’t put on the spiritual armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18).   “If you hold onto my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free” (John 8:32). The blo...

soul starving...anorexic faith

Image
If I don't take a few brief moments to talk to God before my feet hit the floor in the morning, then I'll be starving my own soul of the strength and nourishment I'm going to need for the new day. I'll be hungry listening to my own voice, focusing on my own circumstances, and coming to my own conclusions about life. Yikes. Huge mistake. Why? God created me, saved me, unconditionally loves me and generously cares for me and I would ignore Him? "He is not served by human hands, as if He needed anything, because He himself gives all men life and breath and everything else" (Acts 17:25). BOOM! So if I chew on this truth for a while -- that all things come from Him and He controls everything -- why wouldn't I be hungry to know more of this Magnificent Savior? Frankly when I'm really physically hungry I do not like to wait to eat. I don't normally put off eating when I'm famished. Nope. I want to be fed good food, real food, nutritional, life-giving ...

The Wisdom Lady

Image
🎶  Worship Leader Grace Balint sings "Stronger"  🎶 I've met the wisdom lady.  I first met her many years ago in the book of Proverbs. God had just opened my heart to know Him so I was ready for the wisdom lady to open her heart to me! When I read her practical, rich words of life  I thought to myself. "Wow. Really? This is powerful. This is good stuff. This is so simple and wonderful...and these beautiful promises!"  Yep. Since then she's become a mentor to my soul. But not before God sent me through many painful storms and dark valleys over the years to show me it was not wise for me to try to control my little world. Hah! I admit it. Control issues cause pain. It means we're trusting in ourselves instead of trusting in God.Yikes. That's called idolatry!  But I hope I've become a teachable, willing student. I will say I'm wholeheartedly convinced that to be hungry for wisdom is how to receive her holy hospitality! The wisdom lady promises ...
