Hi there.
I read your recent comment on Jon's "Stuff Christians Like" blog, and made my way over to your myspace page, but couldn't comment there cuz I wasn't a member, so I hope you read comments posted here. Even if you don't read this and don't know it, I'm still praying for you and that's good enough.
Anyway, I am praying for you about your decision to quit the worship team at your church. As I was reading your comment I started crying almost right away and am still crying now. I don't know why--perhaps just feeling the pain and anguish I could see in your words--how difficult the decision was for you to make. I immediately began praying in the spirit for you and will continue to pray for you and your wife and your kids and your church's worship team. I pray God raises up someone new to stand in your place. I especially pray that you feel no guilt over this decision and can know it was the right thing to do, even though it was difficult and so apparently painful for you.
I guess your comment touched me so much cuz I found a lot of truth of my own in it. I am a 56 yr old divorced mother of four, ages 27 - 38, who can't believe how many years have passed since my little ones all grew up and moved away, and I know by experience how the years go by too fast. It's like the blink of an eye, man. And you never get back the time "lost" in any circumstance; it's just over way too fast! But for you, now, I pray you never regret this new block of time you have now gained with your family, having decided to spend it with them instead of "in service" to God. I want to applaud your decision and remind you of Jesus' comment about Mary and Martha--Mary chose the better part, just spending time at His feet instead of working, working, working like Martha--even if it was "for" Him. You and your wife can now spend this time together, at the feet of the One who loves you, and I pray it makes you a better husband, better father, and better man than all the hours spent in worship band, and that you can one day look back on this decision and know it was good and righteous and holy. After all, your first responsibility is your wife and family. God will not fault you for making them your priority. You go for it! : )
I am praying for you, man. God bless.
Sue
Thank you. Your comment (and your prayers) mean a lot to me. I am now on my first week of non-praise-teamness! Let's see how it goes!
