Back from Stephensville
Worship In The Wild was a wild experience! I was so nervous about how everything would go, and intimidated by the people hosting, and the other musicians I might encounter. I felt inadequate.
As it turns out, I didn't need to be intimidated. Everyone I met were loving Christian people, and the other performing musicians were talented amateurs, just like me.
Getting there was a real hassle though. The four hour drive ended up taking 7 hours (to get there, actually 8 to get home!). Our Jeep kept overheating while pulling out camper, and so we travelled at slower speeds, took alternate slower routes, and stopped frequently to let the engine cool down. Plus the big highway in Ontario (the 401) ha many traffic accidents and slow-downs. Thank you God for keeping us safe.
I wasn't paid to play, but I am fine with that: I expected that the exposure would be beneficial to my ministry. Unfortunately there weren't very many people there in the time-slot I was given, so I'm trying to look at it as a sacrifice for the Kingdom. More often than not, God uses our efforts and sacrifices in ways that we can't understand, and may never see- at least this side of eternity.
A dear friend made a donation to me this morning which covers our fuel expense. See? God is always at work, and we can trust him to provide.
Thank you for your prayers! We had an opportunity to meet and care for a lot of interesting and Godly people.
God is good, and God is at work!
