great things happenin'
i meet with the praise team for "big church" tomorrow. i don't know what to expect really. paul evans just told me last week that he wanted me to lead worship on sunday morning, to which i replied, "uhhhh... thank you? thanks! awesome!" typical college student response. grrrrr... anyway, i'm wicked excited about it. great opportunity to lead God's people.
at the purity group i was asked to lead worship next week in chapel, too. never done that either. still looking forward to it though. it's scary when i really think about it: i'll be singing sunday through wednesday. that's four days in a row. i hope i don't sing myself to death!
i've gotten my ducks in a row for next semester now. actually, i have my next year and a half plotted out classwise. my class load will be so stinkin' light until i graduate, so i'll be able to focus on other pursuits a little bit more. that means i'll be able to spend more time with jen, take voice and piano lessons, work on arrangements with will, and practice guitar.
i decided to take piano since i have to know it to be able to learn another instrument: the accordion... duh duh duh! yeah, laugh your head off, but the accordion can be a sweet sound when tactfully used in a song. what prompts this decision to chalk up more nerd points, you may ask? well, here's the background story... my grandma is a huge accordion champ. ever since she was a girl she played the accordion, and every time i go to family affairs in panama city she pulls it out and we sing and play gospel stuff. well, none of my aunts or uncles took up the instrument growing up, and i don't know why but i just have this desire to not let it die out, so i resolved to learn it. no polka jokes, please.
where You are
beautiful song, and yes that is an accordion backing up the acoustic!
