Wood, Gold, Water, Toes (Audio Upload)

In my previous post I shared the words to a poem that came to me during our New Year’s service with my church family. I read the poem at church the following Sunday.

I will often record the worship portions of service, because our worship team is awesome, and open to the moving of the Spirit, and you never know where things will go, but sometimes you want to go back there again. That was the case during this service.

I had intended to share what I had written after worship was over, but there was a particular move of the Spirit and Pastor wanted us to stay in a particular posture of worship that we had been ushered in to by Cynthia and David so he kept David on the keys and intro-ed me, and I just didn’t hit stop on the audio recorder as I went up and shared the piece (reading it from my phone which I use to record the audio for worship).

And after I was done, David just kept playing, all service long. It was impressive and amazing and new for us. And special, because it was Spirit led, and not for every time, but for that time.

It’s funny because, before service, David was getting warmed up on the keyboard and I was there early to serve on media, and, we have a set of bongo drums with our worship stuff, and I intended to go up there for and just try to jam with him a little, but didn’t get the chance because of the things that I had to take care of before service began. By the time I could have joined him, he was elsewhere, and then, service. But God had taken note of the longing of my heart, to duet with David, and He was still like “I got you” and it ended up happening, and it was really cool.

It’s amazing what He’ll do if we just show up. It’s amazing how He wants to surprise us and fill us within community.

*I left Pastor’s intro and part of his outro in the clip, because it just felt right.

I edited the audio file with Audio Mp3 Editor via Google Play Store and then created the video to get the file up onto WordPress with PowerDirector by Cyberlink also via Google Play Store (on my phone… the blog is mostly done on my phone, and sometimes my tablet). Image is via unsplash.com
