Even though I enjoy writing, words can not describe the emotions that pass through my heart when I am able to worship God - especially with people who have become amazing friends and are quality musicians. For about the past nine months, Oil of Gladness band has met in my home on Friday nights - for singing and fellowship, and just recently, doors have opened for us to do ministry as a group.
This coming Saturday, October 26th we are singing at a big church in Soroti town. The choir is made up of singers from at least four different churches, and to me, that is an amazing accomplishment already. I love seeing the churches being united in purpose. We have now been practising for weeks - learning new songs and blending voices so that God can be glorified.
Last Saturday we were together for at least 5 hours, but that day was not for practise - it was for prayer. It has been a long time since I have gone to a prayer retreat and wow, it was so encouraging to rest in God's presence. We spent time confessing sins, praying about worship, getting our hearts right before God, asking the Lord for guidance and provisions for next week's concert, and we lifted each other up to the Lord. Together we battled through spiritual warfare - knowing that Christ is King!!
On a fun note, the girls and I have picked out colours for our uniform and designed the dresses and shirts. The guys have all been measured and at least two tailors are busy at work... so hopefully we will look professional on Saturday. May the Lord's name be praised!
