If I had wings, I would fly


Preparing for the program with my guest Emil Onyszczuk


This has been an incredible week, as I have poured myself out. I literally felt that if I had wings, I could fly, because I'm running so fast. Since last Thursday, I've spoken in the school of ministry, lead our first young adult group, preached the next morning, and have been to IKEA at least five times. I've been shopping till I've dropped, put furniture together, bought new dresses for the TV shoot, and bought TV makeup (thanks Pastor Kay Samson). I think we're about ready for a TV show.

Not only am I going to host a TV show, I was also involved in set design. I wished at least twice that my friend Christine Nelson was here, because she is the decor queen of the world. I was only her humble set assistant during the filming of "Three Blind Saints," and am not nearly as creative as she. However, at the end of the week, both Pastors Ula and Marcin Podżorski were very pleased with the results. The room is filled with peace, and is ready to host the ministry leaders of the world. Thanks to my good friend Jesse Weedman, I have been given permission to use the title "The Modern Voice" for our TV program. When I was at the Baltic Sea on holiday, I began to imagine what the show was going to be like. Pastor Marcin has given me a lot of room to help develop the show, and my media background was coming in handy. So as I was walking on the beach, I felt in my heart to call the program, "The Modern Voice." I immediately contacted Jesse, and he gave me full permission to use the name. I loved the idea of being a modern voice to Europe, because that is the point of being filled with the Holy Spirit. John the Baptist was a voice, Jesus was a voice, the disciples were a voice, and today we are a voice.  The show will be for a European audience, though it could be accessed internationally. It will be in English, and have Polish subtitles. After next week's conference, the more techincal side of the TV program will be developed, and the footage will go into editing. This means social media marketing, creating a website, and developing a logo, and the works. So helping plan and host a TV show, plus set it up is a lot of work. If I had wings, I would fly.

Working with lead camera man Roman, on shots for the program
There has been a lot of planning behind the scenes, emails going all over the place, people being put in position, and meetings to steer us to our goal. Today we did our first dry run of the program, and it went absolutely fantastic. There was a great flow, lots of peace and order, and I personally learned a lot from the experience. Our theme for the show today was, "fighting for your destiny." My friend Emil volunteered as my first guest, and his testimony was very touching. Even though we were just practicing, it was still very powerful. Testimonies are my favorite, because they have the power to unlock the heart. You cannot refute a testimony, and therein lies its power to touch lives. As I mentioned in my previous blog, the show will host ministry leaders, and people using their voice to advance God's Kingdom. Starting next Sunday, I will be interviewing three ministry leaders, and capturing their testimonies. I'm expecting that all three of these men of God will be used to powerfully touch hearts. I especially am hoping that those who are meant to rise up as leaders will catch the program. I feel deep inside that this show will call people into the ministry, and help awaken the church of Europe.

Next week I'll be putting the finishing touches to the TV show, the young adult group, children's ministry, and youth ministry. Plus, we'll throw in a huge conference, and TV show tapping. I was not meant to live a boring life. I have been fully equipped in every way to step into what I was called to do. It doesn't matter that I'm a girl, that I'm single, or that I'm in my 30's. Those things matter not. I am willing to run, and fly like an eagle. I always remember when Pastor Kathy Gray talked about getting knocked out of your comfortable eagles nest, and realizing you were meant to soar. I had been knocked out of my nest a couple of times in Kansas City, but this is where the rubber meets the road. Sometimes it's good for us to be knocked out of the comfort zone, and into the God zone. It's the place where you're not in control, and you just got to flap those wings. Either you fly or you fall. In my case, if I had wings...I would fly. What about you? Would you fly too?
