What a Rush

Its been a long time coming. I stepped on stage today, for the first time, in a long time, and I assure you What a Rush. I have played many gigs in the past, for other worship teams, however this one was different. Practice was tight, rich, and so God filled, I had a hard time not to break into Animal ( Muppets LOL)
It is as though, I had not lost my edge. Now having said that, the first set was not at all there. I missed a few rolls and fills, however, the others didn`t seem to catch my mistakes.

Inbetween sets, I sat with Michele, with such a perplexed thought. What Just Happened, She held my hand, and told me You Were Amazing, Thank You, she said. Within that second, I melted. See, I critized my talent, my ability, my professionalism and Michele had boosted my faith with a few simple words. I bowed my head and gave thanks to my Lord for such an angel.

As the second set was about to begin, I felt this Rush within my Soul. I have felt this feeling many times in the past, however not like this. It is as though, I belonged with this band. I looked over at Michele, and my heart melted. Any and all fears were lifted, in a heart beat.

I looked over the congregation, and I saw many friends from the program (AA, NA) in utter shock, see many had no clue, I was a muscian. I slammed the skins, and lit up the church, as I have done before, and never lost my edge. God, my Father, I thank you for the gifts you have blessed me with, and I shall always, look, seek, and listen to your tunes. Once again, Thank You.

I leave you with this, Lynard Skynard Classic.
