SHARON, MARVIN & THE GANG!
« on: August 26, 2003, 11:31:22 AM »
It's time to pray, folks!  I got a call from one of the actors who was in my play last August.  She has been working with this church that is 3 years old with a 6-member praise team and no choir.  Their former musician couldn't deal with the "smallness" of their church and left them so SHE told their pastor about ME and HE wants me to come out and teach them some songs at their rehearsal Friday night.  If all goes well, I'll be their new musician.  This past Sunday, the director of our male chorus sat out because he just had a surgical procedure done on his leg.  I stood in and directed (for old time's sake) and even ended up singing a song.  It was cool!  Now, I feel like I may be getting ready to "branch out" and do something different....kinda scary, but possibly a much-needed experience.  Who knows?

The Pastor says that they do mostly praise and worship songs....which is basically what my children's choir does at my church.  I've even written a couple, so it should be cool.  I just wonder if I'm ready?  Sharon and Marvin did all this encouraging in Memphis....now it's time to see if the Pastor and Praise Team will see the same potential that you guys saw at the hotel that night.

Either way, it will be a bittersweet moment, so keep me in your prayers guys.

You can do it!!! If I can play for a church from scatch, you can too. You have been playing MUCH longer than me. I'm still not satified with myself. God has given me the confidence to continue playing. I play through the power of God. It is no way I could have done it by myself. I will be praying for you. This is a good thing. Don't feel like you can't do it. Just remember God is with you when you are doing his work.   :D

Much Love
Sharon

Just learn the basic progressions in every key and you should be alrite.
1,4,5
1,7,3,6,2,5,1
This has got me out of plenty jams in the past.
Vision without action is just day dreaming. I miss practicing.

Pray church, pray!  I was busy unpacking boxes and trying to get the last few things from my mom's house to my apartment before the carpet man comes (because they're turning my old room into a nursery for my sister's baby which should be here any day now)!  So, in the midst of all that it was time for me to pick my roommate up from work at 11pm and get ready to come to work today.  I am going to try to leave early so I can practice two or three things to teach them tonight.  If all goes well, I'll be a musician again....wow!  But I feel guilty because my whole purpose for yesterday evening was to practice until I turned blue (like I used to).  Anyway, just pray that all goes well.  The extra $$$ every week and the ability to use my "ability" (I wouldn't call the way I play a gift just yet) will be great and I'm sure I will learn a lot.

Thanks again for all the help and great advice guys!
