So far I'm having a blast. Right now we're staying at St. John's, a Lutheran Church in Winter Park, FL, just north of Orlando. I'll be sleeping on an air mattress for the next 8 weeks. The food will be good, but simple. There will be little to no privacy. The work will be hard. Everything I want for myself is going to be thrown out the window.
Sounds pretty cool!
Honestly, I need to be made uncomfortable. Comfortable is pretty boring. I think I've been prepared up to this point to be successful in a situation where all my personal luxuries are no longer mine to claim. I'm going to make a concerted effort not to complain about anything in an effort to truly enjoy the amazing things that will happen this summer. I'm already having a blast.
I've started to get worried about my abilities to do both these jobs. I've been especially worried about leading worship, for some reason. Some of the other guys have been talking about how great the past worship leaders have been, and I'm worried about letting them down. I think I need to realize that I need to just be ME and rely on God to use me the way he made me. That's not really that easy for me, because I honestly don't really believe in myself all the time. I think if I stop trying to be GOOD, and just be ME, I'll surpass my own perception of myself. But either way, here's a list of things I've found out I'm bad at so far, just for some fun (and to keep me humble)!
1. Dry wall
2. NOT being awkward
2. Counting
3. Marco Polo
4. Chicken fighting
5. Telling stories
6. Trying to get Aaron to be literate (funny story actually... you can ask me about it if you'd like!

Holy cow, i just left you really long commment then it got erased, but i think it went something like this.
It sounds like you are doing awesome, i'm glad that you are learning some sweet stuff and getting to work on trusting God even when you are uncomfortable.
I would agree with what you said about leading worship. You need to stop worrying about it because God doesn't need us anyway, he can use you even if you stunk, but I'm sure it will help that you are a friggin good worship leader.
I keep thinking about a speaker i once heard. He said that he spoke at a conference and felt like he did a horrible job. The audience didn't seem responsive and his message didn't come out like he intended it too. Later, though, he found out that the message had cause one of the people there to change his entire life. So, if you leading worship helps one person truly, worship God and walk more closely with Him, then you have done your job.
Hope you have a rockin week, keep us posted.
I hope ur not worried about leading worship any more bacause u r doing AWESOME!!! seriously! I want to hear some of ur band's stuff... luv ya!
