That was good different

I started to pick up guitar this past semester and mostly just messed around. I figured I would mostly just be playing the guitar for worship if ever because it's not like I would become an awesome guitarist and perform or anything.

So, last thursday one of the guys was like, hey Kevin can you lead worship for tomorrow's devotional time? And I was like uh... uh... uh.. okay. I had never led before but I knew this was something I wanted to try at least. So for the whole night I was pretty scared. I was trying to pick songs I felt comfortable playing and singing, and I ended staying up until like 2:30am doing a directors evaluation and some last minute practicing.

So it's the morning and I'm getting some more last minute practicing in. I felt the need to just come before God and lift it up in prayer, asking Him to make this not about my performance but about worship to God. To have these songs be full of worship. And so I just went to our devotional time and just worshipped.

Leading worship is a interesting thing. It's nothing like I've experienced during worship before. Even though their is the temptation to feel like you're performing for others or for God, the heart of it is all worship and when that comes out, it's an awesome feeling. It's great to just worship with others and even though you're "leading" it, it's great to just worship in that time.
