4. And He Makes My Heart Race

There are a few things that make my heart race and I would like to share them with you today. Some part of me believes that they are significant indicators of something bigger, and the other part of me wonders not and lets them be. Either way, the emotion, the elation I feel during these is like nothing else in this world.

It happened today. I was listening to my Glee pandora station, while Mercedes was ripping apart the song "I bust the windows out ya car". The girl kills that song and I started imaging myself singing it and while I doubt I can sing that song quite as well as she can, my heart started to race.

It happened a few weeks ago. I was asked to share my story at choir and I started to sweat. It was like the scene in Superstar where Mary Katherine Gallagher says, "sometimes, when I get nervous I stick my hands under my armpits and smell them like this!" So I stood up there and shared what I had to share about who God was to me and the pit He has taken me out of and my heart raced.

I remember the first time it happened... Not sure I can ever forget it. I was at the Deeper Still conference that Beth Moore, Priscilla Shirer and Kay Arthur hold. Travis and his band were leading some of the best worship music you will ever hear and my heart started to race. The thought was something like this, in no real order.

Travel.

Sing.

Minister.

Write.

Teach?

Counsel.

Women's hearts.

Girl's hearts.

Husband leads men.

I have no idea if those were real visions, whispers of God's calling, or just my heart sharing what it loves, but this I know is true: whatever I do, or wherever I go, I finally don't care what really happens.

God is enough. He is my portion. And He makes my heart race.
