Thirsty for God to Show Up

Excited​ ​is​ ​an​ ​understatement​ ​of​ ​my​ ​anticipation​ ​of​ ​the​ ​launch​ ​of​ ​Season​ ​2.​ ​While​ ​filming​ ​these episodes,​ ​I​ ​had​ ​to​ ​continuously​ ​wipe​ ​at​ ​tears​ ​or​ ​pick​ ​my​ ​jaw​ ​up​ ​off​ ​the​ ​floor.​ ​At​ ​one​ ​point,​ ​our producer,​ ​Ayman,​ ​and​ ​I​ ​looked​ ​at​ ​each​ ​other​ ​speechless…until​ ​I​ ​managed​ ​to​ ​say,​ ​‘Season​ ​two is​ ​going​ ​to​ ​be…’​ ​and​ ​he​ ​finished​ ​my​ ​sentence,​ ​‘…Wow…’

The​ ​stories​ ​that​ ​we​ ​have​ ​had​ ​the​ ​privilege​ ​of​ ​hearing​ ​and​ ​now​ ​sharing​ ​with​ ​you​ ​and​ ​truly​ ​ones that​ ​many​ ​need​ ​to​ ​hear.​ ​They​ ​are​ ​stories​ ​of​ ​successes​ ​and​ ​failures,​ ​heartaches​ ​and​ ​love,​ ​losses and​ ​restoration.​ ​All​ ​of​ ​them​ ​have​ ​the​ ​theme​ ​of​ ​redemption.​ ​My​ ​favourite​ ​theme​ ​of​ ​all.

Of​ ​course,​ ​we​ ​also​ ​have​ ​a​ ​new​ ​platform​ ​to​ ​share​ ​these​ ​stories.​ ​YES TV​ ​has​ ​just​ ​picked​ ​up​ ​See Hear​ ​Love​ ​and​ ​will​ ​be​ ​airing​ ​on​ ​Monday​ ​nights!​ ​This​ ​is​ ​a​ ​new​ ​and​ ​exciting​ ​thing​ ​for​ ​us​ ​all​ ​and I’m​ ​pretty​ ​sure​ ​I​ ​did​ ​a​ ​happy​ ​dance​ ​when​ ​I​ ​heard​ ​the​ ​news.

None​ ​of​ ​us​ ​knew​ ​what​ ​exactly​ ​would​ ​come​ ​of​ ​this​ ​‘webshow​ ​train’​ ​we​ ​agreed​ ​to​ ​jump​ ​on​ ​last January…and​ ​we​ ​sure​ ​didn’t​ ​anticipate​ ​it​ ​to​ ​get​ ​the​ ​response​ ​that​ ​we​ ​have​ ​gotten.​ ​However, we’re​ ​along​ ​for​ ​the​ ​journey,​ ​learning​ ​along​ ​the​ ​way,​ ​giddy​ ​and​ ​wide​ ​eyed​ ​as​ ​God​ ​continues​ ​to work​ ​through​ ​it.

The​ ​verse​ ​I​ ​picked​ ​out​ ​and​ ​share​ ​with​ ​you​ ​in​ ​this​ ​episode​ ​is​ ​Psalm​ ​42:1,​ ​‘As​ ​the​ ​deer​ ​longs​ ​for the​ ​streams​ ​of​ ​water,​ ​so​ ​I​ ​long​ ​for​ ​you,​ ​O​ ​God.’​ ​As​ ​we​ ​enter​ ​Season​ ​2,​ ​this​ ​could​ ​not​ ​be​ ​more accurate​ ​of​ ​how​ ​I​ ​feel.​ ​I​ ​am​ ​so​ ​thirsty​ ​for​ ​God​ ​to​ ​show​ ​up,​ ​for​ ​Him​ ​to​ ​flow​ ​through​ ​us​ ​and​ ​reach you,​ ​our​ ​viewers.​ ​I​ ​am​ ​eager​ ​to​ ​see​ ​how​ ​He​ ​works​ ​and​ ​I​ ​don’t​ ​want​ ​to​ ​do​ ​any​ ​ounce​ ​of​ ​this​ ​in​ ​my own​ ​strength.​ ​Rather,​ ​I​ ​long​ ​for​ ​Him​ ​-​ ​I​ ​thirst​ ​for​ ​Him​ ​and​ ​I​ ​will​ ​let​ ​that,​ ​alone,​ ​be​ ​my​ ​daily motivation.

Thank​ ​you​ ​for​ ​being​ ​on​ ​this​ ​journey​ ​with​ ​us,​ ​for​ ​learning​ ​with​ ​us,​ ​sharing​ ​these​ ​stories​ ​with​ ​your networks​ ​and​ ​for​ ​the​ ​encouragement​ ​you​ ​have​ ​been​ ​along​ ​the​ ​way.​ ​Now​ ​buckle​ ​up​ ​once​ ​again, grab​ ​that​ ​box​ ​of​ ​tissues,​ ​a​ ​bowl​ ​of​ ​popcorn​ ​and​ ​probably​ ​a​ ​notebook​ ​and​ ​pen,​ ​and​ ​let’s​ ​do​ ​more life​ ​together​ ​in​ ​Season​ ​2!
