Man - what a great day yesterday was! I'd been pumped & looking forward to the worship time for a good month - ever since Phillip had asked me to fill in for him leading worship on that day. It was so much fun! I told the guys in the praise team/band that it was such a privilege to even be asked to lead worship at Gladeville & then to be able to play with such a high caliber of musicians just topped it all off!

I think it really hit me during the third, and final, service. I was in the middle of the worship set & was remembering how it had felt 2 1/2 years ago when I led worship in a large worship setting the last time. I was used to leading worship in the 6 1/2 years I was in Kansas, as I was the worship leader & student pastor. The last Sunday we were in Coffeyville I can still remember walking off of the stage wondering if I would ever be in a position to lead worship like that again.

Because of the direction that God has taken us, I really never expected to be able to have that privilege again. What a blessing to be given this opportunity at GBC!
