green light

A few months ago, some friends of mine and I were sitting at Cracker Barrel trying to figure out what we could adventure we could find on a Saturday night.  The result: a music video. It's star is Phil Stone, with a little help from his friends.  This started out as just a funny little video of Phil singing. It developed into a full production with different scenes, outfit changes, laying tracks, and many other ridiculous things that only made the video that much more entertaining to watch and create.  I was running the other day, and I was forced to stop at this cross walk to wait for the white hand to give me the go.  There was a collegiate male standing at the other side of the cross walk, also waiting.  He was trying to run in place, but I couldn't help but notice that he hadn't started running in place until he saw me.  From a far, I probably looked cute. Blonde hair, still tan from spring break, sorority tank top on.  Up close I was a sweaty, hot mess. But he was trying to impress me, and ran in place while looking at me.  I just stood and looked back.  I saw the light for the hand light up, and I began to run back across the street.  He just watched me.  I mean I think I'm a decent looking human being, but he looked awestruck and didn't move.  Just ran in place. I made it to the other side. He gave me a once up and down, I guess decided my sweat was more nasty than glistening, and then realized he had the white hand to cross the street.  I recently felt a call to go on an international mission trip.  I've been suppressing the feeling because I have so many things that I love and have going for me here, that I let them distract me and convince myself that I needed a sign.  I started to think about that boy.  He stood there awestruck at me.  That's the definition of worship.  To stand in amazement and respond.  His response was to run in place. Ignore the sign to go.  If I'm truly worshipping my God, I'll stop "worshipping" my distractions, and allowing me to  ignore God "giving me the green light."  Enjoy the video.  :D
