oh not good... you're not suppose to trip over yourself.

yeah... too late for that :P

i tripped in one of the relay games.. i forgot what it's called... it's where you put bottles of coke like a line... and you have straws... and you run criss cross over the cokes as you put the straws... then you go back and do it again this time getting the straws back.. the first one to finish is the winner

and yeah... i trip over myself there hehehe... embarassing... i dived in pavement instead of in water roflol

but yeah i can laugh about it now...

because of that... i got a very bruised left knee and scrapes on both my elbows... my knee was swollen and bleeding and scraped... couldn't walk so well for 3 or 4 days... yep... sometimes i'm a klutz hehe

lol yeah that's one of those things that it's great to remember and laugh at. but yeah, pavement diving isn't a good idea at all. it doesnt give nearly as much as it needs to, lol...

Praisey · 02-08-2003, 02:41 AM

hehehe

meanie! i knew i wasn't supposed to dive on the pavement!!

yep... Gman is nice (maybe if i keep saying it i'll believe it) hehehehe kidding!!!

ok.. on to today...

well... let's go back last night... lol

last night was music practice and i'm the worship leader... our band leader lined up a lot of old "new" songs... some of those i don't even know!! so yeah... i had to learn the songs at that moment... him playing the keyboard and me trying to follow

... our band leader is... well... not my best buddy in the whole world... he's got a temper and he's very demanding and controlling.. he doesn't like to listen to suggestions... like for example... me or others in the Music Ministry trying to line up new songs... he seldom if ever agrees with us... so we mainly play (in my case sing) the songs HE lines up :kroll:

so on to today...

i was a bit nervous leading worship coz i'm not familiar at all with the repertoire... and i just learned it last night!! so i prayed and asked God to help me remember the tune and the flow and the melody and all that... and i was rehearsing as i bathe and as i went to church...

well... to cut it short... i made a blooper in the last song... i sang a different "Hosanna" song... not the song that we practiced :kblush ... but it's ok... i'm used to having bloopers hehe... makes me all the more dependent on the Spirit of God working in me

and yep... they teased me soooo bad about it... lol :klol:

oh boy... there are a lot of ups and downs in the ministry... most of them downs... especially when you work with difficult ppl... but hmmmm i'm now in the Music Ministry for 5 years and i still say there is no greater privilege in the world than to be able to serve Him and sing for Him and lead others to worship Him... what a mighty God we serve! amen to that!

well... i gotta check out the other threads... hehe... type to you later

you know one thing i found last time i led for church was that your practice can go in your mind pretty badly but sunday morning things will come off smooth as glass. that was a big shift for me cause the first time i led by myself everything went great both at practice and sunday morning. but what helped that time was having people who had been there before. with the excpetion of the bass, every musician had played for a while previous to this. me on guitar, my cousin on keyboard, and our drummer had all played our respective instruments for long enough that it came together quite well. the second time though me and the drummer were the most experienced even including the singers. which isn't bad but at the same time, it made the job harder for me who was still trying to get used to the whole leadership thing. but both tiems it's ended up going very well...

you know what... that is sooo true... i used to be soooo caught up with everything being perfect and smooth... until i realize that it's not in the skills or the gifts that i or the others have... it's the as i said...the Spirit of God working in you

i just wish sometimes that we have unity in the ministry y'know?

definitely... i realized that looking back on that morning. actually i was thinking the next day after practice about the past evening and what i might have done differently and one thing came to mind... i forgot to start by giving the time to God. so i made it a point to start off the sunday morning practice that way. adn thigns turned out great, so guess how i'll be starting out practices from here on out? lol... should be obvious...

Praisey · 02-09-2003, 04:06 AM

yep!!!

i so agree! i do that too... Saturday afternoon... before practice

Praisey · 02-10-2003, 12:56 AM

i had a great quiet time with the Lord this afternoon

well that always happens... not surprising anymore... i usually do my quiet time after my bath, so i feel refreshed and awake hehehe

well this afternoon the text was about God revealing Himself to Moses and how the Lord reveals Himself to His servants according to the purpose and need of the person at that moment... and Moses needed to learn and know that God Almighty is the Lord... it's in Exodus 6:2-3 i think

sorry me is always forgetful... it's those anesthesia i had

and in response to that... i looked back on my life... especially that time when i had backslide... it was the most difficult moment of my life spiritually, emotionally, physically, mentally and psychologically... to put it plain i was in the pit

it's great to know that your knowledge of the Lord grows by the day and you don't even notice... it's only when you look back and see how far you've come in your journey with Him that you know.

i was 22 when it all happened... prior to that i was very popular, i'm well liked, i have friends all over the place, i had a great job... but i was also very rebellious to the Lord, i was smoking and drinking and you'll always find me in bars... singing songs that migoodness i will never sing again... lol

then God's words proved true... know that verse where it says God disciplines whom He loves?? well that happened to me... and oh boy... was i ever disciplined... hehe

God removed everything i hold dear one by one... God removed my friends, my job and everything i have pride on... and He made me realize that it's always been Him, that He's always been there... waiting for me to lay down my pride and come back to Him... of course there were consequences to what i was doing at that time... i had to be hospitalized and operated on because my doctor found out i had a tumor in my right lung.... and there goes my discipline from the Lord... maybe when i have time i'll tell you all about it... but right now.. i have to go

Praisey · 02-11-2003, 12:40 AM

i don't have much to say right now... i'm in the can't-think-of-anything-to-type mood :kstare:

but i had my quiet time this afternoon... and once more God has confirmed His word to me... which always amazes me...

see... not a lot of words... maybe later... i'm in a quiet mood.. shhhh
