Whirl

I know my life is far from totally confusing but it is getting there, trust me! I have become a part of what is mercilessly called "The Baby Band" in Youth Group. I only sing but am having enough trouble seeing how it is my first experience of singing with others and not a cd. We have six members in our band and I totally love it! My dearest Natalie is playing the keyboard and singing, Geoffrey is playing drums, Andrew on guitar, Nick on another guitar, and recently we added Hunter on bass. We are getting used to each other and have fun learning to work as a group. Natalie, Geoffrey, and I have fun while the guitars tune saying things like "Hey, when I get a solo you can have one." and "Are you sure you're in tune?" (=

We have only played in youth group once. It was nerve racking for me as I was really performing for the first time. Two things helped me through immensely, one being a sweet text from my ever loving sister. The other a revelation in the middle of the first song, I was finally doing what I had always wanted, leading worship! I was singing for God! Showing people my true joy in Him! This made it much easier to wade through the second (and last) song. After, we all grinned at each other feeling glad over our accomplishment. We did it! Together too! We were able to cover for each other when we slipped and people sang along.

I hope we will continue to improve in our thrive-tastic Youth Group! (=
