I joined a new cell (small) group at my church with my family and they asked if someone would mind leading the worship session next week. After the worship set we had that day (yesterday, singing to a cd). I felt that the need was there to dust off old Taylor and build the fingers back up. Not certain if this is all leading up to anything, but wondering if I can just help encourage people with music that I use to play. The leader of the group seemed very happy...I said hold on, it's been years since I've played and I need to practice still, but I'll try to lead a song or two. God if this is where I'm going for my next portion of service, so be it. I'm going for it...all souled out. I miss playing, it's been such a blessing to have such talented people to be lead by, but very uncertain if the call is to support the team in the congregation as the worship pastor is leaving our church to start a new plant in Lebanon....TN, that is =) It's going to be a bit of a tough time of transition for the church, but not certain what will when he moves. Keep worshipping Jesus of course but not certain of the leadership role and I'm not going to go for it....I'm very very very way under qualified...hahaha I guess that's what some people in the bible said as well, but seriously I am...not saying it out of humility, but out of realism. Who knows, but I'm just a little guitar player from the valley holdin up my 6 string hackin away. I miss the old days...good memories and some sad memories that come of it as well, but God's blessed me with this gift and I prayed about playing a good while back and even my worship pastor/close friend said "why don't you lead in cell group" I guess I was waiting for the right moment and I guess the call was sort of clear yesterday. Live by faith and not by site for if I did I would freak out at the craziness that is happening around me, stay focused looking up and not see how far God is helping me to sore up in the sky.

i used to be surrounded by musicians, someone was always playing something all of the time. i miss it, because it encouraged me to play, too, and i was always learning new things...by myself it is hard to be motivated and i just end up playing the same things over and over. honestly it's been so long i don't know what i remember. ahh...well, good luck with this.
