Day 4 of the Alleluia Conference

I realized that I did not sum up Friday! Oh well, Sunday morning is better than never. I had a session on planning, panic and pacing. It was good thoughts from a man who spent many years in full-time church music service and how best to be prepared, how to involve others, and also, a bit about involving your family. That's something that I've really been wrestling with, now that Ella is getting to a point where she can go with me and listen and do other things while I practice or work. Trying to find that balance is the biggest challenge!

My final session was on composing and arranging, led by Joseph Martin. As with the similar session I went to led by Joel Raney, it was insightful, challenging, encouraging, and it helped me to realize that writing music isn't easy, but it's beneficial and necessary. So, I definitely have major challenges ahead of me.

This week, my series of questions to wrestle with and pray about are:
1. How do I involve more in the Music Ministry of King of Kings?

2. How do I share leadership responsibilities?

3. How do I make more time to practice, write music, plan and be prepared? What needs to be sacrificed for that to happen?


I know that these and many others will be a major focus in my thoughts and actions this week!
