Last night...Thankful

     Last night I got to lead worship with an awesome group of ladies for Women's ministry at my church, Christ Fellowship. I played the guitar and sang, and with the rest of the girls, we came before God and gave up our talents and gifts to honor him!

     As I played and sang last night, my heart was full of joy. I thought about the gifts that God has given me. I remember a few years ago when I decided I wanted to play the guitar. I didn't own a guitar so a friend had an extra one he'd had for a long time and gave me to learn in. I took a few lessons from a good friend who helped me to learn some basic chords and rhythms to get me going. I remember I didn't have money to pay for real guitar classes but I knew in my heart that God would help me develop this gift.


     I would play it on my own, here and there, to try to follow myself while singing. I would spend time on the computer looking up chords, looking up charts, then youtubing the songs to learn the proper way to do it. I figured...Practice, practice, practice and ask God to help me develop this gift.

     As I stood there yesterday in total awe of God, I was so excited about where God has me right now, and the things he's teaching me daily. There's so much more I need to learn, I'm definitely not a guitar pro. :) I've always played behind the scenes, to family and close friends. Then a couple months ago, I started playing at church, and our worship pastor has been mentoring me through this new step! God has helped me to develop my gift and it was just so cool to stand up there, jam out and give my gifts back to him!  I would play and sing, and in total awe I was thankful to God for allowing me to stand before his presence and his people, and use the gifts hes given me for his glory! So many emotions, and thoughts, but It made me so happy to just think about it! :)
