Go God!

We pray before worship each week, and then we've started a team cheer.  We all put our hands in the middle, and on the count of three we yell "Go God!"  Some might find it informal or too secular, but to me it really captures Grinnell.  We're finding time in our stressful Grinnell lives to put all of that stuff away and worship God.  I have never felt stressed at worship, even when the security guards forget to unlock the piano, when we realize we're missing lyrics, or when I forget to bring food for my amazing drummer (who comes straight from swim practice and doesn't have time for dinner!), and God makes that possible.

I honestly can't believe I don't get stressed.  Here I am playing music I've practiced maybe once the week before.  I'm literally looking at letters and turning them into chords and rhythms.  It's so awesome God is working through me like this!  I don't have the best personal relationship with God right now, but He's definitely still in my life.  Always reminding me He's there.  And that He's waiting.

This week I have one song in particular stuck in my head from worship.  It's another Hillsong song (we did two this week - the song picker (ME!) is ambitious sometimes, and just happens to find Hillsong songs more interesting to play on piano), and it's fabulous.
