From verbally expressing my desire to serve with my voice, to completely forgetting to do something about it. After a year of attending church, I finally decide to get some free coffee.
In the line, I forgot to grab something and turn back just to see the worship leader right behind me. We got our coffee and briefly conversed and without thinking I asked, “are you guys thinking of creating a choir?” And his response was, “funny you ask, the person right behind you has initiated the process and they’re recruiting.” 😭🤯 God guys, GOD IS IN CONTROL.
I felt surrounded and pulled, the lady was the sweetest and most excited to know I was interested. She explained how to go about it, we exchanged contact info, and that was all… I had gotten my free coffee and a “here you go” from the Holy Spirit.
Days passed and though my husband was also in disbelief of the “coincidence” (there are no coincidences with our Creator), we weren’t sure if it would be a good idea, considering my husband and I were working on our marriage and the last thing we thought we needed was less time together… lol 🙃🙂
Well, we decided to try it.
So I applied to be part of the choir and let me tell you, it felt more demanding and investigative than a job application. Very refreshing but also like “WOAH! That was a lot…”
A few days later, the volunteer coordinator of the whole church calls me. Surprisingly, a Jewish man with an awesome testimony 🙌🏻 (total side note) called to tell me one of the three references didn’t pick up and requested a fourth contact.
Right before all of this happened, I had abruptly reconnected with old friends, signed up for a precept with my “spiritual grandma,” and randomly texted my first worship leader who was training me to be a vocalist at a church in Houston right before we learned we had to move. It was like BOOM! 💥 I did not know it, but God was working!! He is always working, never doubt that ❤️🔥
Needless to say, a year after I confessed with my mouth a desire of my heart, God made it happen… but I must share, between saying it and meeting the worship leader at the connect/coffee area, continued in comments…
