Church Today
Today was my first time playing on the worship team at my new church. Thursday i had a GREAT feeling about playing. Everything was going well and we were all having fun and what not.. i even got a small solo for one of the songs. i was pumped, it sounded great and it was really easy. we played through the song a couple of times so i could get the feel of it actually in the song. It was good, a little tweaking here and there, and we were set. (can you see where this is going yet??) so, today (sunday) i got up at 7. which in itself it really early for me. top that with not going to bed until 4 and i was one tired boy. by the time i got to church i was wide awake and ready to play. so, we played through the songs and i played my little solo. everything was looking good still. Here's the catch though... when it came time to ACTUALLY play the solo, i totally botched it. i was like, frick i hate my life. the whole service all i could think about was how terrible i messed it up. nothing else could get my mind off it. the end of the service (and the second set of music) were about to happen, before we got up to play we prayed for the family that the church is sending with wycliff. the pastor told everyone, if they wanted to, they could come lay hands on the couple, A LOT of people did (which kind of surprised me for some reason). I just sat in my chair and prayed. The spirit was moving, lemme tell you. Multiple times i got that feeling, you know what i mean? i cant even describe it. it was crazy cool. we eventually got up and played our second set and it went smoother (in my opinion). after we played the last song, the worship leader came up to me with a big smile and shook my hand, he thanked me for playing with them and asked if i would be able to again. i said yes of course. i told him how i felt about the whole messing up, he was super cool about it. in multiple aspects. he said it wasnt a big deal (which it really isnt, but i felt like i failed, especially since it was such an easy bit) and he was really happy to have another guitar playing with them (they previously only had his acoustic). not really sure how to wrap this up.. it was a good time playing, i had fun even with the minor error. i cant wait to do it again.
