Sometime when you least expect it (but need it the most), God lets you know that He is in full control. Last night was one of those times. I really didn't know how many people would come to a concert on Wednesday night, but I knew the 4 of us were going to have a good time. We've had some great fellowship recently, having fun in rehearsal, meeting at different places, really just getting back together after a "tax season" hiatus. Last weekend, we sang in Thomasville, NC, which was fun, although quite interesting.
I got to the church earlier than our 4 pm set up time, and started praying for the service. I was really praying hard for myself, because I needed strength. We had the easiest setup I can remember, and we had time to sing some a capella stuff and some things with Phillip on piano. We had a worship service before the regular service ever started. We needed that. I believe it made a difference in our singing.
We walked into the sanctuary a little before 7, and were met by a large crowd. That excites me, and I could sense that this was going to be good. We had our group prayer and got ready to sing. You could see joy all over the place. At times there were hands raised in praise, there were tears. What struck me most was that I felt peace. I felt freedom to worship. We had an awesome time. I couldn't tell you what all we sang, or how it sounded, but I got the reassurance that God is in control no matter what Satan tries to tell you.
We've been blessed, and we're excited about what God is doing through the ministry of The Carolina Boys. May is a busy month, which is good. 2010 started a little slow, but that gave us time to get the new CD "Free" completed, and we're having some great response to that project.
Time for bed, so that's all for now.
