Makin' Music!

Today the highlight of my day was worship team practice tonight. I tell ya what, as a team, we have grown together as musicians in such incredible ways! Now, I will state upfront that I'm not a professional musician by any means. About 5 years ago I had a deep desire to play congas, and just started playing. I never had lessons, I just play as I feel led by God. I'm not the best player, by any stretch of the imagination. But, I will say I play with all my heart. God knows I am wanting to please him as I play music with the team. And honestly that's all that matters.

About 11 weeks ago we switched worship leaders and Scottie has taken over with two other worship leaders in the church. Primarily though, Scottie leads. And, I tell ya what, God has moved more in my heart in worship the past few weeks at practice than I can express in words to you here. I find myself in awe of how God pours into our lives as we pour into His.

I went to practice tonight and found myself one of two girls, with 5 guys present. I'll be the first to admit, I would rather be around guys than girls because they seem to be happier people. (Sorry gals, don't mean to slam us!) So that was cool.

The amazing part for me was how much fun we had just playing. Noone was in a hurry to leave at all. In fact at 8:30, we pulled out a whole new song and had it learned by 9:00. Scottie commented how much fun it was, and I wholeheartedly agreed. It was time well spent. :-)

Life.
Is.
Good.
