Obedience

i was recently asked to take paternity leave in regards to leading worship. i was told to take time off to get my household in order, i did not want to take time off. my pastor told me to get used to having two kids. so off i went, though unwillingly it was. i let my pastor know this in a playful manner, but it was brought to my attention that my Savior called this grumbling and complaining. i was told that it was for my benefit to take this time and i should enjoy the blessings that will come from it. this is very difficult for me, knowing that i was made to worship our Lord and to lead that worship, i feel like a fish out of water.

a few weeks back i received a song from the Lord out of Psalm 51 but only in part. i also thought that i had received understanding of that song, but i realize that, that was also only in part. there is a part in the psalm that speaks of broken bones rejoicing. i believe that the Lord is breaking my bones and im loving it. i cant wait to see whats in store for me next.

on sunday i received the meaning of the song that the Lord had given me so many weeks earlier. obedience in all things. things that i have written of before have reared their heads once again. to be a worship leader i must be obedient, not only on the stage or in regards to the worship band but in my household, in my job, in all things. i know that i am a worship leader but am very excited to become a leader of worship in all things and to bring my kids up in the same thing.

it is my job to grow my kids up in the Vine so that they will become leaders of worship not just members of a worship band. this next step is a very exciting one and maybe ill write more about it
