Yesterday was a really good day. Well every day is a good day, but some are just better than others. Yesterday was better. God was rich. People connected with the God of the universe. It was cool to see.
We had our Worship Team sing. This is a group of singers that formerly made up a choir. We had about 15 of them. I really enjoy when they sing. They are worship leaders on stage, not a performance "choir". They have such a neat spirit about them, and are eager to help lead in worship. The wall of sound from them is amazing.
I had a ton of distractions. I sat on my ear monitor pack during our pre service prayer time. My rear end panned all of my mix to the left side. Unfortunately, I do not use my left in ear monitor. In other words, I could not hear myself. So for the first 3 songs, I had no monitor. Our technical director saw me struggling and came out during an extended prayer time to fix my issue. Hank to the rescue, again! Then our back screen projector overheated, then restarted…during a song of which I did not know the words! So I kind of winged it. We made it out with only minor scratches.
All of these issues were a reminder. No matter how hard the waves crash around us, keep focused on Jesus. It was hard. I ain't gonna lie, but God was honored and worshipped. I felt really flustered. Rushed. Unprepared. But God… Haha! I love that line.
After the service, a gentleman came up to me to chat. He said that he had been dealing with some salvation issues. Right then and there, he prayed to receive Christ! THIS IS GREAT NEWS!! This is reason to rejoice and be glad. All of my selfish issues are totally trumped by being able to share in the blessing of seeing someone come to know the Lord.
Thank you Lord for allowing me to be a small part of what You are doing at HGBC!
So, yesterday was a good day…
