Last night we had a girls night out at our church and I was to lead a few worship songs by myself. I asked our 14 year old, Will, if he would go with me just to load the songs in the computer, and then he'd be free to go hang with some of his buddies at the Life House.
I think it took him all of ten minutes to load the songs. After he had input them, he nonchalantly made his way to the drum set. As I was running through the songs on the keyboard, Will started playing along. I didn't stop what I was doing, I just kept going...and we played. And it sounded really good. So good that I started to tear up. And I worshipped, thanking God for that moment in time.
You see, Will doesn't play the drums. Or does he? I'm not sure. He's never played before, but he played last night, and it was awesome!
So today, he asked if we could go back into the church and try that again...so we did. This time we also took Maren with us, and she sang. We actually played a song that the band is getting ready to learn called "Say So", and all things considered, they did GREAT on it, AND we had alot of fun just musically messin' around.
So anyway, I guess I'm still discovering all of the "special features" that God has designed our children with.

That is WAY cool. I would've been tearing up too.
I was in the worship center when Will was on the drums, and I thought he was doing an awesome job. I didn't know he wasn't a drummer, until you mentioned it a few minutes later. I had actually given him a 'thumbs up'! How awesome.
Along the same lines, Caleb has been telling me about a song that he's written. He mentioned this some time ago, and I asked him what it said. He told me. I said he should write the lyrics down, but I don't think he did. A few (or rather several) weeks later, he told me about this song again. I asked him what it said thinking he'd probably forgotten. It was amazing when he said the same general lyrics that he'd mentioned before! He wants to be in a band SO bad.
OH and BTW - when I first saw your remark about the Girls Night, my stomach lurched thinking there were pictures involved - I did a fast scroll down to see! Shew!
the pictures are coming later Paula, :-)...just kidding, someone might have a pic of me from that night...eeks.
That's very cool about Caleb writing songs. He should definitely write that down. I still remember the first song I wrote...I was 10.
