Tonight I went to the first session of a Women's Retreat held for various leaders throughout The Missouri Prayer Network. It's a private retreat, and when I was invited earlier this week, I was somewhat surprised, as I rarely do things with that organization. I like the group of ladies, and two of my Spiritual Mentors are involved with it, which is how I was invited.
So tonight I got there and started to enter in, and Regina walked up to me and said, "If you would like, we have bongos up there for you to play." I smiled. I had seen them, but didn't know who was playing them. So, I went up and entered in.
And honestly, it felt GREAT to play again. I haven't played since I moved here, and it was FUN. I just smiled and played, and loved every second of it. It was EXACTLY what I needed tonight. It got my focus off me, and on the Lord again, which is where it needs to be.
Then Regina preached. Oh my gosh, if there was ever a sermon for me, that was it! I was convicted. Deeply convicted.
Last night I was saddened by a situation. Which is okay, God is okay with me processing stuff.
However, there was this guy who was beaten, carried a cross, hung on a cross, and died.
Hum...makes my day yesterday seem INCREDIBLY trivial. Little. Nothing.
Conviction is a good thing, and exactly what I needed tonight. Praise the Lord!
I get to play bongos again tomorrow and Saturday!
Woop!
Life.
Is.
Fun.
When you get your focus off yourself and onto the Lord!
