Last night's meeting was great. It was definite confirmation for me that I need to be serving through music again. The music ministry head, Becky, and I talked for a long time last night (though every time we talk it seems to be long) and I just kind of felt a peace about it. She asked me to play and sing with the 3rd service band--and only for a month at a time. We're starting a new sermon series, we picked out new songs to correlate with the sermons and everyone seems to be excited about the upcoming month. While I was driving home last night I remembered, however, that I've already volunteered to serve somewhere this month. Also, serving during third service means that I would miss our teen service. So I'm conflicted. Kraig's starting new stuff with the teens this month--basically changing the whole format of teen service--and it's going to be awesome. The kick-off is September 5th and the teens are inviting basically everyone they know. God is definitely moving in them. I guess I know that I need to wait to start playing until October, but I don't want to. Now that I'm ready and willing to serve, I don't want to wait another month. Talking to Becky again today, she encouraged me to at least practice with the band for this month just to be with them and get used to playing with a new group. I'm still anxious about stepping out and committing, but I know that's where God wants me. I really, really believe that, and it's a relief! I'm regaining my sense of purpose.
Alright. Back to work.
