Some of you may know that a couple weeks ago, God moved us out of our home church and led us to Church By The Glades.
At the beginning it was an extremely hard thing to do...the thought of leaving my friends, that really were more like our family, and starting over somewhere where we knew no one. At first i didnt understand what or why God was doing this or even worse allowing this to happen. But it did happen and we moved.
There were times that at Glades I was confident that this was the plan God had for us...and other times, honestly I doubted. Not by fault of the church.. but there were inner thoughts and issues i needed to deal with.
Quickly Carlos, my brother and I got involved in what else but the worship ministry at glades. I will never forget my 1st rehearsal, everything was great, I met new people and they were all very nice...but driving home i suddenly began to cry. I cried not because i didnt like my new church..not because i didnt like the song set or the people. I just had an overwhelming feeling of homesickness. I missed my old church and all my friends. I missed rehearsing together and then going out to eat or to the movies afterwards.
I say all this because tonight God has showed himself to me. He has answered prayers that have been uttered by my family and I for months. Tonight my worship pastor Justin Thomas scheduling a meeting for the entire worship team to attend, At first i really didnt know what this was about. But little did i know that God and His amazing timing was planning a supernatural event that will forever change my life and the way i see Worship.
Tonight, my worship team sat down together and dared to dream big. We saw Hillsong United videos and documentaries and made it a burden in our heart to dream for that. It had been years since i have experienced something like that... Where a team gets together only one soul purpose, and that was to dream Gods dreams. Many times worship teams often lose sight of what truly is important and what truly matters. That worship is a lifestyle and not a song set. Worship is not a style of clothing or a style of hair its a way of life. Tonight is a night that has given me hope and inspiration that there really is something more...Every doubt that i may have had regarding God plans for me in Glades..tonight once and for all have been answered.
Tonight Glades dared to dream.."Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed."
Proverbs 16:3
