Finally, once again, I am writing on here. I have had a BUSY last few weeks. I had Ridgecrest Music Week, then had Vacation Bible School. Last week was a week off, but I spent that week trying to clear my mind from VBS music to prepare for Summer Music Camp Music. I think it has finally worked....Instead of waking up in the night to "A-awiki, B-awiki" I am hearing a"Joseph" which is GREAT. I am really excited about the week that begins tomorrow. I just hope that I can do justice to the drama, and that Christy, the director, will be happy. She is SOooooooooo good and I feel inadequate compared to her....but,I think we have the same agenda...to teach the children a way to minister through music.
Today was an exciting day in our church. It was 'contemporary' Service Sunday. As we are a VERY TRADTIONAL First Baptist Church, a contemporary service is stretching the box. But I think it worked. I know that even if no one else received anything, I sure did. I will say, however, that when the youth got up and shared about their Camp last week and the 'Praise and Worship' they experienced, they encouraged the church to go outside of their comfort zone and just WORSHIP. I was amazed that there were actually people with their hands raised and that God really seemed to be warming up the typical 'coolness' of tradionalism.
Then tonite we went to NEWSPRING and the pastor was a part of ONEPRAYER.com series. It was ReALLY challenging - about how our ONE PRAYER should be to be UNITED as believers. He used the analogy that if "I" is out of place in UNITED we are UNTIED ===I pray that we will NOT be UNTIED as Believers.
