Tonight we had roots and I have to document what happened before I forget!
Roots is always a great opportunity to trust the Lord and rely on his grace to not be nervous and also to play excellently. Well tonight was extra special because I was sick, Josh's voice wasn't cooperating either, we had lots of sound issues and we had only been practicing for two days. We have had some pretty interesting practices the last few days, especially since Josh, Kaden and I have no formal education in singing or playing our instruments. That makes for some great bonding! So as we were running through the songs and running into problems, I got really excited. We were in the position as a band that we had no choice but to rely totally on God's grace. I knew that if we were good it OBVIOUSLY wasn't because of our own abilities. Well, to say the least, it was great! We played the songs better than we had ever played them and our voices didn't even break!
God came through yet again!
Schreiner talked about God's love and I was reminded of very specific aspects of God's love that I tend to forget about. For instance, God's thoughts about me are more numerous than the sand. That is a lot. He used the example of if you have a crush on someone... you begin to think about them a lot. In the same way, if you know someone else has a crush on you, you start to think of them and begin to draw near to them. As a girl, it is pretty easy for me to relate to this analogy. I want to be completely enamored by God and his love for me. And there will never be a time when I love him and he doesn't love me back. He loves me perfectly despite if I can love him. Anyway, it was awesome.
