is to do
what the Lord wants me to do.There have
been times i have said no to the pastor he does nt understand why i choose not to lead the worship.i query him as well regarding the idea that its not just performing a function because there
is a need our hearts have to
be in the right place so that the Lord can use us but he did nt understand where i
was coming from and thats okay because of that i just said no until my heart
is right i
am better not
being involved in leading.But i
am happy to
be an encouragement to others in the worship team i havent wanted to
be the
leader i have done that in the past.So my focus has
been just the singing and
being part of different worship teams i think the Lord has other plans as the groups i
am in seem to
be changing at the same time i

whats best.I used to

was asked to lead the music at another church i attend multiple churchs although i attend two regularly one has services in the morning and one has services in the evening so the two do nt really clash.In the weekend i
was asked to lead the music its
been two years since i did that and i
was worried on how i would go.All i can say
is that it went really well and because i stepped out in Faith the Lord really blessed the morning to the congregation.The difference
is knowing that i serve the Lord with the gifts he has given me but my heart has to
be right and when i do it in his way it builds up the body and it brings glory to him.May the Lord continue to show you
what he wants you to do even though others may not understand your reasons i just want you to know that you do nt have to pull away completely just work within the boundarys that the Lord gives you and do nt feel pressured by others expectations to do anything that feel uncomfortable.
