I said "what's that in your hand Moses?"
Those two sentences (questions) come from a song that my aunt used to sing all the time.
After singing the song, she would look at me and say "What's that in your hand Tonya?"
Fast forward a few years later and I am sitting in church.
The preacher says something like "God can use whatever you have in your hand. What's in your hand?"
When he said those words, I was holding a red pen. I thought "What can God do with that?"
Shortly after I heard that sermon, I started teaching PreK and creating all kinds of art for bulletin boards and day to day activities for my children in class.
Sometimes, I would think back on that sermon and the red pen and say to myself "Wow, God used the red pen."
That red pen symbolized using ink and paper to me.
Fast forward a few more years and here I am blogging about all things that involve using your hands creatively with pen, paper and paint.
Who knew?
I never would have imagined.
What's in your hand dear reader?
Whatever it is someone needs your gift to help lighten the heavy load of life.
And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The Lord hath not appeared unto thee. And the Lord said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod. -Exodus 4:1-2
