I don't mind Christmas and I usually don't mind Christmas music but then there are songs like Christmas Shoes and Little Drummer Boy and I can't handle them. But before you judge me, please hear me out. I've been praying for several months now that the L-rd would be my number one thing. More than friends, more than family, more than my hopes and dreams and goals. First, He showed me that He wasn't my number one. Ouch. Then my heart really began to long for the change it was a very different journey than anything in the past. A journey to surrender all and choose Him over EVERYTHING.
A couple of nights ago I was Facebook researching on a girl who I'm supposed to be giving gifts to at work and she had a link on her page to a song she claimed gave her chills. I occasionally look at my friends links on Facebook and this one kind of sounded interesting. I clicked the link but didn't know what song it was until I opened it...Little Drummer Boy! Ahhh! I can't stand that song. I almost closed it right away. But something in me just wanted to know why this song was so special. So, I decided to listen. It's an acapella group with a pretty amazing beatboxer keeping time. They sounded pretty good so I keep watching. Then it happened...about the middle of the song they flash to the only girl in the group of 5 and as she smiles from ear to ear she sings "then He smiled at me!" I felt the Holy Spirit like a thud. I gasped. The tears flowed.
He smiled at me!
Something about the joy on the woman's face, something about the thought that the King of Glory .... and in child form at that being pleased and smiling at me. At something I could give Him.
I played my drum for Him. I played MY BEST for Him.
Something about giving Him your all, even when there is nothing significant to give. Something about how He loves unconditionally and how my all is enough for Him. I was challenged again to love Him the most...He's so worthy, He deserves everything!
