I cannot believe this
« on: May 10, 2004, 03:14:46 AM »
hello everyone ,
I was recently vaulted into the position of Organist at my church.... I have never been trained but just played by ear sort of occompaning the other head musicians.  I work and goto college as many people do so it wasn't really  a priority I did it because I enjoyed praising God in that way... now ... it's just me  and I can't just leave my pastor hanging... so here I am.  I can play a few songs, and learn a bit but I'm still not good.   I stumbled across this site and I about fell off of my chair... you guys have all the same questions I do ... this is SO helpful ... you'll be hearing alot more from me from now on ... stay Blessed

HELLO LIL_POPPA.

MY NAME IS JAZZ FINGERS. I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GOING THRU WITH NEW POSITION UNEXPECTED. I RECENTLY YET EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. I GOT PULL INTO A HEAD MUSICIAN/ORGANIST POSITION IMMEDIATELY. AT FIRST I WAS STRESS BECAUSE I COULD PLAY SOMETHINGS BUT NOT EVERYTHING. I WENT THRU BEING EMBARRASED YOU NAME I WENT THRU. I STARTED TO GIVE UP BUT JUST WHEN I DID I PRAYED. LORD THIS A POSITION I PRAYED FOR  AND LORD A VISION YOU SHOWED ME. SO IN YOUR WORD YOU SAID I CAN DO ALL THING. LORD YOU ALSO SAID GREATER WORKS SHALL WE DO. SO LORD I ASK YOU RIGHT NOW TO STIR UP THE GIFT IN ME. I WOULD PRAY,PRACTICE,PRAY, PRAY,PRAY EVERYTIME AT HOME AND CHURCH BEFORE I TOUCH THE KEYS AND SERVICE IS NOW  A  SUCCESS. ALTHOUGH SOME SONGS THE CHOIR SING I DON'T KNOW I PUT FORTH EFFORT AND TRY PLAYING THEM. IT IS LIKE THIS IF YOU CAN PLAY A FEW SONGS THEN GOD HAS QUALIFIED AND EQUIPPED YOU TO LEARN TO PLAY A VARIETY OF SONGS. IT TAKES MUCH PRAYER AND MUCH PRACTICE TO OVERCOME THE FEAR OF NOT BEING ABLE TO PLAY EVERYTHING.  I NOW KNOW GOD IS ABLE IF YOU JUST HAVE THE FAITH OF A MUSTARD SEED AND GOD WILL DO THE REST THRU YOUR PRAYERS AND PRACTICING DAILY. YOU GOT TO PRAY AND PRACTICE DAILY. BE ENCOURAGED BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GOING THRU.  ENCOURAGE YOU CAN DO ALL THINGS NOT JUST SOMETHINGS THRU LORD SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. JUST MEMORIZE THIS LIL_POPPA CAN DO ALL THINGS THRU JESUS CHRIST AND LIL_POPPA THRU PUTTING FORTH EFFORT CAN PLAY ALL THINGS THRU LORD SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.  BE BLESSED I JUST WANT TO SHARE THIS INFORMATION WITH YA TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO KEEP THE FAITH. YOU CAN DO IT. YOU WERE BLESSED WITH THE NEW POSITION AS HEAD ORGANIST CAUSED GOD KNOWS YOU ARE WELL ABLE TO DO IT. BE BLESSED.

Tho I am not playing for a church anymore - have been away from playing for a long time.  I say that this sight has been a true TRUE BLESSING!  I have picked up a few things here and there and when I have time I practice.  I been encouraged by my husband to be the Musical Director for a few Gospel productions and now that I am working with a "band" I need to be more on top of things.  This site and a few others I have come across have blessed me tremendiously.
I say that God gives us each special gifts and when we are given the opportunity to express our PERSONAL GIFT God does nothing but bring that gift forward more and more and more and more.
Stay in the mind of YOUR BLESSINGS and GOD will fill your Heart, mind and fingers with BLESSINGS immeeasurable!

Stay Focused on the Blessings of God!
