sunday i got to meet the tc worship team for the first time..quite amazing experience, i have to say. there are 8 of us, 6 girls and 2 guys-3, including worship leader. (girl power! but not too much..we were out-talked by the guys--by FAR)
we did introductions and a get-to-know you game, then bible study, which took up most of the time. it was on Acts:2:42-47, the fellowship of believers. what really stood out the importance of humility on this team, it was clear that there was absolutely NO ROOM FOR PRIDE. the leader, who was also the interviewer, told us how if they saw a hint of arrogance or pride in the interviewee, they stopped the interview and immediately put them on the "cut" list. tc worship was BIG in tc, you're basically idolized for 2 days....no need to add on to that. and it really takes the focus off what it's all about. since we're bringing people into the presence of GOD, we should look and feel SO small!!
an example of humility--the guitarist for chris tomlin. he's amazing at what he does, but everytime he has to play a solo or a part he backs away instead of, say, jumping up and down at the front of the stage.
prayer and fellowshiping-accountability and sharing- was also stressed a lot. the people on the team...you could just tell that they were so spiritually mature and had that fire for God. i was like...WOW. and being able to talk/share with them, you both grow so much!! i can't wait to get to know these people better, to get to know GOD better!
i was expecting it to be hardcore practice, but that's far, far from truth. we spent over 2 hours on bible study and getting ot know eachother, and about 35 mins praying in pairs. at the end we only did a little singing with just the guitar. it really brought the focus back to jesus.
after that, i went to the oracles dinner. i don't know if i really should have gone...i almost felt as if i were intruding on their thanksgiving together, since it's not like i ever got to play with them or get to know them as well as they did eachother during the summer. maybe it's just that...oh i donno. i can't imagine all that i missed!! but it was fun, in any case, with a lot of volleyball (how ironic, it's a softball team), and a lot of FOOD. if anyone wants mash potatoes for the next two months, feel free to raid the church fridge! the food was abundantly good, there was the stubborn beef that took jon 10 mins to cut and 10 more to chew, haha. there was, of course, turkey and stuffing, corn, croissonts (spelling?),string beans,.....ooh and apple pie and ice cream later in the night. good stuff. i took it home :)
anyways, i wil continue working on my homework. pray for me!! i have a calc test tomorrow. and physics and bio tests and 2 essays later this week :P
