Despite Me
8:34 AM
My first week at my new church is coming to a close. It's been a great week and definately a learning experience. I've got a lot to learn in the way of being tactful and diligent in how I respond to certain situations, but I am giving it my all. I have to admit I am loving worship more these days...more so then before. I am still learning my niche...what makes me, me as a worship leader. I am just thankful I serve a patient people.
Allow me to give an example...
Last night I struggled to find the right vocal pitch during one of the songs. I mean it was really bad. I tried twice to get it before having to move on to the chorus and give it a last ditch effort. Thank the Lord...better yet, I believe it most definately was the Lord that allowed me to nail the chorus and drive me right on track with the rest of the song. Ah...life lessons...
You know what? I reaffirmed a core belief of mine last night...God is going to use me, despite me.
It's a fact. I mess up. I get the lyrics wrong. I get the chords wrong. I don't preach well. I don't teach well. I so desperately need God it's ridiculous...and I think that is exactly where He wants me.
