the weekend was decidedly relaxing. maybe because i wanted to concentrate on practicing the pieces for sunday's morning service. ps adam's songs were familiar enough, but i'd never played them for church before. cellgroups yes, and that's only because i'm one of the 2 musicians available. heh!
because i've always been playing solo, it's been a learning experience having to adjust my style to team-playing. i never thought i'd be up there on stage with the "terror people", haha... i was quite happy serving in jr church* and helping out with the music in cell.
so when our music pastor asked me if i would like to try out for the worship team, i was pretty much anxious and excited at the same time. to be able to serve alongside the people whose passion is music, and whose worship is to make beautiful tunes to God, that's something amazing.
that kind of passion stirs you from inside and inspires you to want to play better. there's just something when a group of people come together and have the same mindset, same lingo and rhythm.
i can't say i'm up there already. still a long way to go for me. but the experience has been invaluable. i wouldn't trade this for anything in the world. i know the people who've been my inspiration may never get to read this, but i think they're Godsend. either that, or we're pretty desparate for more musicians haha..
