After failing in my first attempt to become a screen writer, I have mustered enough confidence to risk rejection again by entering another contest. However, before I press send, I must recreate Express Yourself. Like Nicodemus during his famous conversation in John 3, this script must be born again.
If you are a confident person, you likely don’t have to worry about asking people what they think. Because in your mind, you are correct. Although, if what you have been doing is unsuccessful or you hit a rough patch in life, you need to gather as much information as possible. Once you feel you have uncovered the missing ingredient or ingredients, you can take baby steps back toward your desired destination. During this process, sometimes you can work too hard, not taking care of your own needs, Philippians 2:4.
In the drama Joan of Arcadia, season 1, God calls Joan to throw a party at her house while her parents are away celebrating their anniversary. Entitled Recreation, this episode examines the term recreation; meaning to recreate your soul, usually through things that bring you pleasure. In the end, God uses the party to call the cops to Joan’s house, who are saved from an explosion which would have killed them if Joan had not had her party. When God recreates our souls, He does things that we often don’t see right away or ever see. Nonetheless, we need to be faithful to God’s Word by becoming born again, spiritually, so that the old will pass as the new shines through, Colossians 3:1-4!
