Yesterday I (co)led worship at Re:Hope - for the first time in a long while.
I’ve been struggling with the thought of leading again. I’m not as ‘comfortable’ with my instrument or vocals as I have been before, etc. It’s been even longer since I’ve led with a full band as well - which made things slightly more stressful.
Both the morning and the evening service… I was feeling it. I was nervous. And the practice hadn’t put me at ‘ease’ either… as far as I was concerned, it didn’t feel like we had everything sorted out.
Last night, I remember thinking… It’s good to rely on God. It’s awesome when practice sucks, but when we’re actually worshipping - everything comes together.
It’s refreshing to see Re:Hope from the front too. I’ve not really realized it as much before, but we’ve got passionate people there. People are engaging with God - which sometimes is pretty hard to see from the back.
I think it’s a good thing to find yourself in a place, where you need to rely on God to move…
glad to see God gave the confidence needed to get the “airy” voice back up front. That’s a gift God expects you to use, but I always thought you wise to be open and honest aboutyour struggle with using it in Re:Hope…better than those who would simply get up there and do their thing simply because they love worship. That’s not good enough. It’s rarely ever what we want or even need to do…but what God wishes of us. Either way, glad to see were looking back at Re:Hope from the front. I sent you some stuff as well from over here in America…you’ll like it I’m sure!
Let me know when you get it…and keep bloggin’.
