I was given the privilege and honor of being asked to be guest conductor for the Greater Rockwall Symphony Orchestra for a concert last night. It was a great time of fun making music with around 60 professional and auditioned musicians. I was grateful for the experience.
However, . . . I was reflecting on it in the shower this morning. And I thought to myself: You know that was a really fun and meaningful experience, but it was not at all the same as what I get to do all of the time, which is . . . seek to glorify the Lord in the midst of His presence with His people. Wow!!! There is nothing that can compare with that experience.
I entered the worship center this morning about 6:30a and the band and vocalists came in and we started rehearsing. Within moments, I was in tears weeping because of what I was experiencing that is so totally different than what I experienced last night. I realized that even though I had college professors (in a Baptist School) who encouraged me to not waste my musical ability on church music, that I am, and have always been, right where I am supposed to be - doing exactly what God intended before I was fashioned in my mothers's womb. Praise to the Lord! There is no music that can compare with HIS SONG! It is inspired music.
Thanks to the First Family for continuing to let me do what God made and called me to do! mjm
