Preparation time

Sometimes a person feels things aren't happening nearly fast enough. We haven't yet heard from Pastor Richard about the land so figure there is nothing substantial to report yet. We also have been trying to have a couple of meetings here that just haven't come together. Shannon and I continue to remind each other that God's timing is perfect. That no matter when we think something is supposed to happen, God knows when it is supposed to happen. He will be sure that His plans happen in His own way and His own time. We are also aware that there is a reason for his timing. It may be because there is something in us that He wants to develop further or in someone else involved. We will remain receptive to whatever it is He may be trying to teach us while we continue to wait. Please pray that we remain patient and that we learn quickly.

Last night I had a choir taping at church. What a fun time that was. We were all wearing headphones so that we could hear the music but then singing normally so that just our voices were recorded. We recorded the 7 diferent songs that we are singing for the Christmas program at church, two times each. This way, at the performance, our voices are literally tripled by the playing of the two recordings plus our live voices. It was quite the production last night and we had a good time but many of us were starting to have very tired voices by the end of the evening. It took us 4 hours which I am told is much shorter than many years in the past where they recorded for two nights and went until 1 or 2AM the second night to finish. I am looking forward to the 7 performances we have coming up in December. It will make for an even busier than normal December but I am hoping God can use our performances to reach many with the Christmas message.
