Lead when you don't feel like it!

Today was a great day at Element. We had a record attendance of 502, which is unbelievable. Seriously there is a little inside thing between us pastor at element, when 2 years ago Grant wrote down in his journal 500 by may of the first year, he really felt like God put that number on his heart. Jeff and I laughed, like man I'm not sure. God is so faithful to continue to bring his people home, home is not Element, home is life in Christ, and Element gets to be a part of bringing them home. Thank you Jesus.

However today, I really felt attacked. I am going to be a little honest here, but this morning during rehearsal I felt like not being there. I felt like we werent clicking as a band, my drummer was on call for work, which meant at any moment he could have to leave, and my attitude was just wrong. Sometimes we don't feel great, or feel like giving our all, but I think its in those times we eat it, and say its not about me, its not about my songs, my band, my feelings, its about a God who saves, and wants to use me as a vessel. So thats what I did, I prayed with Jeff and I got up there and gave it everything I had. God does great things when we get to that place of surrender and we just get out of the way, and give it to God.

We had some fun with a song today off a record by an old band I used to play in. We struggled with how to make it fit element, but I think it went pretty well.
