Saving Me for Last

Let me begin by saying I have been properly reprimanded for not bringing the conclusion of my previous blog to you sooner. Proverbs 27:1 tells us, "Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth." Paying closer attention to that verse earlier would have saved me eating crow now. Please accept my apologies.

So, why did God save me for last?

As many of you know, I wrote a book last year titled, Journey to the Son (pending publication). I share in this book personal stories of how I have broken each of the Ten Commandments. Upon completion of the book I felt the Lord prompt me to compile stories from other women. The idea was to collect stories for a compilation book and once collected I would choose ten of the most compelling stories to be performed in a stage production of Every Woman.

Since you can read in the previous blog entries how the casting of Every Woman came about, I won't go into those details here; except to say that the process looked something like this:

1. Harvest expected to be in the production
2. The Lord made it abundantly clear that Harvest was not to perform in but only direct the production
3. Harvest ended up with only nine women for the production
4. The Lord called Harvest to be the tenth and final woman cast in the production

I know now that that Lord always intended for me to perform in Every Woman. But it had to be done according to His purpose. Had I gone into the casting process knowing that I was going to perform one of the stories from my book, I would have never chosen to perform the commandment that I am sharing in Every Woman. In my opinion, I had several other stories that are more "stage worthy." Our God already knew this and in His infinite wisdom had me believe that I wasn't going to share any of my stories on stage. Being pulled from the show allowed me to go about the casting process objectively, allowing the testimonies from the other women to fall naturally and effortlessly into their proper commandment. Had I tried to cast the show knowing I was going to be a part of it, I would have forced stories into commandments that they were never intended for. It was only after the show was cast with the original nine women that the Lord pointed to the second commandment and said, "Here, Harvest, this is where I want you."

In His glorious name,
