i think it's a relief when we realize God can show up without our being totally having every moment prepared. It has helped me rest in Him as I plan......

"Be prepared to be unprepared". Nice. I don't know how many times God has come through for me as a worship leader in the midst of a time of corporate worship. Whether by showing up in spite of my crummy attitude or "gelling" the band that sounded *really* rough during practice or connecting songs back to the message.

He really and truly cares about this expression of our faith. Of course, it's just a part of what it means to be a worshiper, fully submitted to his rule and reign.

Being prepared is important, but He's reminded me many times over that it's not the only thing.

I love "Cannons"... good call!

A friend of mine would always say "be prepared to be unprepared!"... it didn't make sense to me until I began leading worship!!!! :)

@WorshipCity: Cannons works extremely well, even in a blended situation like ours. The first time we did it, I took the time to teach the chorus line by line to the crowd the same way Phil did at his concert.

Admittedly, the verses don't flow anywhere near as well, but the chorus is sung out very well. Kinda like a lot of hymns, verses not so strong but chorus is boisterous.

Oh man Canons by Phil Wickham! I love that song! How'd it work in a corporate setting!?!
Yeah, I love it when God shows up and melds our services together in a supernatural way that we couldn't have planned any better!

Jeff,
I love it when it all comes together like that as well. "I Must Tell Jesus" - i did an arrangement of that back at my old church, I should dig it up!

For the Kingdom,
