So, the past couple of days (as the title of this implies) has left me with a lot to think about. I was challenged yesterday during the service to not let my insight on the people in the worship team get in the way of doing my part to help the service. Without delving too deep I'm always the one who knows the works of what's going on thanks to me being the son of the bass player but also being part of the team myself. And, knowing all of this, it gets hard to focus on helping everyone see the words and such so they can worship with the team. It's hard for me to do this from time to time since I guess it's human nature that I just want to look at what's wrong with the team and not with what they're intending. It was a "skeleton crew" according to Troy yesterday but the heart behind the words and result was more than I could imagine. So, I'm working more on letting what God is doing through my minimal job with the worship team bring more glory to Him and not get involved in matters of others.
But anyways, the past couple days haven't all been bad. Minus being beat when coming home from the bowl game trip it was fun getting back to SC style of things. I love Florida but I missed my hometown and it's crappy weather. I also hung out with the Williams girls most of the day yesterday. I went over to play disc golf but due to the rain outside plans changed. We ended up talking (well, mainly picking on Erin, the youngest) and just relaxing. It was fun to not worry about anything and sit there and just talk. I also volunteered to let Kristen (the middle of the girls) to take a straightener to my hair. The results are something along the lines of epic in terms of how funny they were. I'll attach a picture I took in their mirror. But all in all, it was great to be able hang out with friends and laugh a lot...actually, a lot is a big understatement
SIDE NOTE: I got compliments yesterday from a few people in my church about my weight loss. A couple people asked what I did and told them just cut out soda and control junk food portions and they were shocked. It's something that I really enjoy hearing not for a pride aspect, but I feel it's a step in the right direction from where I was years ago. Weight was a huge problem for me and got me ridiculed a lot. So, people giving me compliments about me losing weight helps my esteem a lot and makes it even higher
I just love that picture of you in the mirror. I know it's overused, but "priceless" is really the only thing that begins to describe it haha
ReplyDeleteThanks! We need to do that again but make it even bigger! (if that is at all possible)
ReplyDeletepsh, of course it's possible! Kristen only used a straightener, if she used any type of hair products it would've been even bigger.
ReplyDeleteWell, just say when and we can do it! You can help yourself if you want/if she lets you haha
