It's been different and rather difficult not being in ministry because it seems like it's the only thing I know. It was my comfort zone, born and bred. On the flip side, I have been enjoying the down time of just chilling out and enjoying the non-commitment of hectic schedules, as well as getting back to the word and rediscovering God in a whole new different perspective. How do I define myself now outside of the skin of my minitries? How do I identify myself without the layer of epidermis of leadership?
But without fail as usual, God opens a brand new door right after I obediently shut the other. While in Houston Bush Int Airport on September 14th, 2006, I was talking to Steve Morrow about how much I miss ministry particularly worship and music itself. Then I received a call from Andrew Ogea who's the worship leader for a young adults ministry in the New Orleans Metro area asking if I would consider helping him play the piano for a rendition of "Fix You" by Coldplay for the next gathering. After much prayer and consideration, I was confident that this was the next step. It's been almost 3 months now since I started playing with these guys and it's been a blast. The talent and heart are admirable and I am encouraged to know that this is where God has led me as of now. Who knows what's the next step. That's the best and sometimes worst part about faith. It does not know any boundary. It longs to exist as the core of hope....
