MAYBE IT WAS A WARM UP?


I wasn't going to mention the band thing any more. I didn't want to drive anyone crazy, or seem like I can't get away from being dropped from the group. But last Sunday something interesting happened...
One of my friends, a singer on the worship team, found out about the band. She was very indignant, which made me feel kinda good, actually.
This Sunday, she suggested I join another band. I said I didn't know of any band I'd join right now. Well, she wouldn't leave the subject alone. She asked what do you need for a band?
"Well," I said, "You need a lead guitarist".
We both turned and looked at the 16 year old who plays for the worship team. BOY, does he play!
We both nodded.
"You need a bass player". We looked as, just then, the bass player walked up, a rocker from way back. He makes that guitar talk, walk, and get up and dance.
"You need a keyboardist". She pointed at me.
"You need a lead singer". I pointed at her, and she pointed at me. I said that I'd never considered myself a lead singer...I usually do back-up vocals. She said,"You have a great voice.
You're lead."
I shrugged. I'm a little low on confidence.
Then I said,"You need a drummer."
My friend called to Ben, who plays the drums for the worship team. "Ben, how about starting a band with her?"
Ben said okay, he'd been wanting to start a band.
After my friend had turned away, I told Ben he didn't have to have me in his band. (Like I said, my confidence is running a bit on the low side.)
He stopped, looked at me, and said, "It's always best to be with the people you're close to, don't you think?"
To tell you the truth, I don't know much about it, but I said yeah, I guess so.
He said that's right. And he wants me in the band.
Doesn't sound like much except Ben is a great musician. I learn more all the time from him. He toured with several different groups, one of which was Metallica.
Hmmm.....Maybe God just had me in the other band as a warm up?

    Quoting crucified777:
    listen here child of GOD:
    HE CHOOSE THE BASE THINGS

    Co 1:28 And base things of the world,and things which are despised,hath God chosen yea, and things which are not,to bring to nought things that are.

    STOP with the I am not good enough... you are more than a conquerer
    through christ that strengthens you...after all it is HE THAT GIVES YOU THE ABILITY TO PRAISE HIM....GBU AND PRAISE ON

    ROMANS 8:18-19
I'm going to say these things to myself over and over...they are so true. Thanks again! I just keep wondering what's wrong with me, and forgetting why I love playing for church---to encourage God's people, and to see God smile. When I'm on that piano bench, I feel God sitting next to me. Does that sound too strange?

    I hope I get the opportunity to see you guys in action. It sounds like you are going to have a blast.
We may not become famous or rich, but when we get together, we always have fun 'cause we love praising God so much! What's more important than giving God glory and encouraging His people?
