The conversation of yesterday turned out just as God would want it. In fact, yesterday had a couple more events planned into it which also turned out much better than I had hoped. Our quartet was singing for an assisted living place. We have been going there for 20+ years so we know these folks well. Our songs were almost all new ones so my own sense of preparedness was low. Singing was the one thing dad didn’t criticize so making sure it was “perfect” was intensely important to me. Somehow I still battle this sense at times like yesterday. However, before we sang we all gathered for prayer. One of the quartet members prayed thanking God for the excitement of singing for Him. I asked him following the prayer if he was actually excited? I was nervous. He just said he had a nervous excitement. I loved this. I just said in my head that I give this nervousness to You God and I just want to be excited and worship You fully.

It was an amazing time of worship yesterday with those attending. We all commented following the service how significantly we felt the presence of God’s Holy Spirit. God is never done awakening me (us) to Him and helping us let go of unwanted baggage. Yesterday was another good lesson day!
