Soli Deo gloria.
It was my first time leading without a co-leader, and I had to lead the band on my own. Terrible at band dynamics and the technical aspects of music, I remember feeling very stressed during our practice. Seeing how other more gifted musicians lead the band in terms of rhythm, sound and music, I felt thoroughly inadequate.
God blessed me with talented musicians - and more than that, musicians with hearts that love Jesus.
There were no auxs on stage and we could not hear each other well - we had to all rely on the house speakers. Halfway through the offering prayer, my microphone went out, and even after exchanging microphones, there was still no sound.
With all of these issues, God was still so faithful. I remember at one point before we started, I began feeling nervous and I though to myself - maybe I am not cut out for this worship leading thing. Being a back up vocalist is what I am comfortable with, not this!
But God saw and knew my heart, and sent me so much encouragement.
My heart was so warmed, encouraged and joyful. To God alone be the glory.
