Not in the mood...

Ok it was one of those nights when I just wasn't in the mood for anything. Tonight I came home from church and youth choir practise feeling pretty down and depressed, normally I'm bussing and on a spiritual high but nothing was happening with me tonight. First there was community singing and I was totally not prepared for it, I was debating with myself during the day weather to go to the odyssey or to go church and get a good pratice before the music night on Friday. Well to start off I arrived kind of late and I left my music at home so dad had to drive back and get my music, also the fellow guitarist didn't know community was on so I was left with only the fluteist's, then to make it even worse I left my capo (a wee device which makes your guitar a key higher) in my other guitar bag which was outside down in the bottom car park and most of the songs needed the use of the capo, so I was basically standing there trying to make some attempt to change the keys...which I find very hard!!

So with community singing over and most of the hymms out of the way I got a wee break during the sermon to catch a wee breather. Well I wasn't so much in the mood to listen to Rev Small so I decided to read the book of revalations which I was studying earlier, and what a book I must say, infact I was left quite scared by the time I finished it, I never knew all that stuff with the dragon and 8-headed beast was in the bible, sounds like something out of Harry Potter! Ok so when church finished it was time for the good stuff, as I've said before there's nothing I love more than playing with my own youth choir...not the case tonight!! To begin with our painoist wasn't there so it was basically up to me and David to lead the songs, we were missing a good crowd tonight so we wern't sounding as good, I wasn't feeling the love of the songs and nothing was clicking with me, I just wasn't in the mood to praise God which I havn't felt in a long time. Then to make matters worse the last song 'Prince of peace' had to be changed slightly and not to many people knew how to sing it right...not good at this late stage. We've have practised that song so many times now and I hate to say it but I'm gettin kinda sick of it!!

Overall I felt tonight was a huge shambles, nothing seemed to be going right for me and minor things were bugging me so much. I didn't seek God and I was shown what happens when I drift from him. I've realised I need to pray to God before I do things, I need him through everything I do and I musn't forget he is my creator and he gave me everything.

Hope you all had a good night!! LOL!

    I hate days like that! I would give you a hug if you were here, honest, but sure ill save you one! U know wht though, any time i'm feeling really down, if i have a good chat with God it always makes me feel better. Just resting in his presence makes all the difference and things don't seem so bad! So i'd recommend that! Also,you know what never fails to cheer me up- going to see rosi, seriously, she always cheers you up and brightens your day, so i'd recommend that too!
    Love and God Bless,

  • Hey there, don't worry too much about 'feelings' when you're worshipping - its more about giving God the glory than about how you feel (at least thats how I understand it.) Also, I think the Devil can be out to get us down, especially on Sundays when we want to 'look' like everything is rosey! If I had a penny for the number of times we forgot to bring the data projector or music books to church... well I'd be pretty rich! It is frustrating though when the week starts badly - so I hope it gets better!

  • Hey Justy!!

    Can you believe that I didn't even have to pay Kara-lyn anything for that nice comment!!! Awh!! Its just brightened my day!!! Anyway, it just struck me a bit when I was reading your blog...that Satan really is out to bring us down!! BUT...on the brighter side...God gives life to the full!! Dont let Satan have a foothold!! As Karalyn wisely said, take it all to him and let him iron out any problems!!
    Love and prayers!!
