Experiencing Worship

This past summer, I had the opportunity to attend a camp which offered a tract in worship. I eagerly choose this tract based on my own growing passion to begin live worship in our youth group and just to experience how God works while using my talents and desires. It was an influential and extremely beneficial experience. It was not a waste of my parent’s money or my summer vacation.

What I took back home after was a drive to reach a point in which God’s Spirit had the opportunity to be in our youth services through pure, live worship. I believe we have hit this point. Last Tuesday was the first youth service in which live worship was a part of the night in the total eight years of the youth group’s existence. Last night was the second. Yes, I am not the gifted musician that some may conceive of me. Hard practice is something I must do in order to achieve where I am now in my level of musicianship. And even that isn’t so commendable. But, God is using me and everyone in the youth group to bring the experience of total worship a reality.

Blunders and mistakes on my part are to be expected (as in the case of tonight). But, as I continue to grow in the Lord I pray that God may continue to use me and the rest of the youth group.
