Not Really Feelin' It

First, I must say I am REALLY tired. The mega-church worship team thing is definitely an interesting departure from picking up a guitar and leading a handful of people in worship. It's no less important, but it's certainly more tiring.

We are currently two services through our five- service Easter weekend. I hopped on a bus to the church at 12:04 and got home right around 9:00. Luckily I'm doing okay, having rationed my energy, amending a mistake I made the last time I played this much. Still, dealing with job-hunting, feeding myself, and working on my feet full-time leaves me worn out at the end of a week, and the weekend and the rest it entails never comes a moment too soon.

And frankly, I am not always excited to worship musically. Shoot, I'm not always excited to do things God's way.

But worship is not about how we feel. It's about giving God the glory he deserves. Not even because of what he did through Jesus on the cross. Just because he's God.

My feelings are irrelevant. I promise you that I won't want to get out of bed tomorrow morning at 5:30, much like many other Christ Followers. I know he deserves everything. Because of this knowledge, I get up, thank God for choosing me as one of his representatives in this present age, strap on my bass, plug in, tune up, and let music be an expression of my gratitude for his sacrifice and victory over Satan, sin, and death.

It's not about how I feel.

It's all about Jesus.
