Once upon a time...
...I led worship in an itty-bitty church in the midwest. We had fun; I had fun....but we were pretty much complete hacks. At least I was. I don't read music. I have an okay voice. I would never make the American Idol cut, but I can hold a note fairly well.
Then we moved, and I sang about once a month with a team far more talented than I.
Then we moved again, and I pretty much stopped singing altogether.
Now here we are, back in a church we love with a tremendously talented music pastor and worship team. Because I love music and love singing, I tried out and made the cut for an occasional spot on the team.
This week, the music pastor remembered that I led worship so long ago and that Rob played with me. We were a team, actually - I just found my way into the "lead" role since I was the voice and he was the rhythm.
And now we are leading worship this Sunday.
I am terrified.

[that's good]
I seem to have the hardest time signing in for some reason!
Anyhow, yesterday I meant to post that I'm sure you will do fine and be a blessing to the congregation. It is really an honor to serve God in music ministry. I have been the Worship Leader at my church for almost eight years now. Truthfully, I was not saved when I started, but the Lord reached my heart in the process. I just kind of ended up in this position and at the time acted much like Moses pleading, "but, I c.c.c.can't do this! Why me". The Lord had a plan and the rest is history! It is such a joy to usher others into worship.
