The King of Rock

My grandma is crazy obsessed with a couple of things. Beanie babies, Barbies, and Elvis Presley. She's dedicated an entire armoire to storing Beanie Babies, and entire room to holding her hundreds of Barbies, but Elvis is different. His memorabilia is strung throughout the house. My favorite piece is the clock above the entryway into the kitchen. Elvis' legs swing side to side to keep count of the seconds. Needless to say, I heard his music when I was growing up, too.

This month has been an insane spiritual journey. I woke up on January 5th and God whispered in my ear, "Seth. You are a new creation." This event has sparked a change in my heart. I'm being more intentional with the Lord's attempts to sanctify me and feeling the Holy Spirit's guidance more than ever. I have had the opportunity to have several really fruitful conversations with non-believers, I have revamped the Mancave Bible study and begun to take that calling more seriously, and I have even had the chance to give a Bible away this week and walk a friend through it. God is nudging. I'm responding. I'm joyful.

One of Elvis' popular songs is "A little less conversation." In this song, the King of Rock is making some pretty racy statements about getting a girl to go home with him. Its actually on the verge of being creepy. But because he's Elvis, he gets away with it. He says

"A little less conversation, a little more action please..."

Recently I've heard God asking the same thing of me. Granted, God is not a creepy man trying to get me to go home with him, but I find his calling similar. For too long I've been talking about reaching out to the people around me and not actually showing them how much God loves them and introducing them into the incredible community of believers in Wichita.

Don't let The King of Rock's clock legs swing one more time before you leap on the opportunities that the Spirit is presenting you with. If you're like me, you'll find joy. True, true joy.
