It is a beautiful morning and there is some rain on the horizon but I welcome it for my roses and other plants that need it. I am going to worship with my church family in the park today and am waiting for someone to come pick up a heavy item that they said they needed for the event. Personally, if they can get batteries for the mics, we would be able to just go ahead. I am trying not to feel down due to the lack of communication. These are my favorite people and though many are from the islands they all still seem to operate on CP time and that is not how I roll. It is 9:14am and I wanted someone to pick up and test the generators at 9am. We need to be there and seated by 9:30am but I have a feeling this lack of communication is very pervasive and will affect many other aspects of the service in a way we don't want. I had a lovely talk with another pianist and singer who I asked to play and sing for the service and she agreed. I intend to bring all equipment for her no matter what happens with the rest of the service. We went over songs no one ever sings and played them together over the phone on our pianos. I look forward to hearing those songs she picked out and also to spend time surrounded by the Lord's creation and worship in a different place. I may go for a walk down by the creek as well with the children, we shall see. God is good and I pray HE has his way today and guides us through this confusion we are in to higher pleasant ground.
Happy Sabbath :)
4:25pm update. I was right but God is still good. I ended up being the media lady and with God's help, connected the congregation online with us on site, worked out audio, did photography, and made sure the pianist and speakers had what they needed. I was frustrated with my people but I was not surprised. If anyone is going to prepare I'm definitely going to make sure I'm ready. I don't know about them. They, we all need prayer.
Please keep my church in prayer and for me to not lose heart.
