Am I Good Enough?

For the past few months I've had the honor of being part of the Soul Sisters & Flight worship band. Its been a big step for me to come out from behind the sound desk and get up on stage. I've always wanted to use my skills as a drummer to worship but I knew I wasn't good enough to be part of any worship band. I kept practising as I didn't want to give up trying. I've started to play at Flight. I'm always really nervous. I spend most Fridays praying that I wouldn't mess up and become a distraction. I've made some mistakes and I feel really bad at the end of the night. I was reminded one night by the worship leader that as long as was giving it my all for God then it was good enough. I didn't really take it in as I was still frustrated at myself, that I didn't do it right. Last night I was involved in the Soul Sisters-Brothers In Arms joint worship band. I was playing Djembe and I couldn't get this beat right during practise and I was getting really angry with myself. After practice I was thinking in my head that I can't do this and that I was crap. BUT it became clear. I was becoming so distracted with all the technicalities of it I forgot I was here to worship God. It wasn't about being good or bad it was about giving it my all, giving 110% to God. So I got up there and gave God everything that I had.

I'd like to thank everyone for all their support and encouragement.
