If there’s one thing I’ve learnt over the past few days it’s that doing things with friends makes every situation better. It’s weird but it works – no matter where you find yourself, if you have a few mates around you, then you have no worries! This week truly did show me that.
Last week we had a few worship leaders visit from the UK. They came down to lead worship at our church, but they did not have a band for the weekend. So we used our own band, and I was amongst the musicians that played alongside them. To be honest, it was an honour just to be asked to play.
The only thing is, the type of music they played was a little different to what we are used to as a worship team. Nevertheless, we gave it a go. At first it was really strange because we have never played with them before and most of the songs they requested we have never heard of – but we gave it a go.
We played Friday night and the whole of Sunday with them. I’m not going to lie, there were some frustrating moments – but there were also great moment and memories we shared as friends. Friends that turned to family.
No matter what situation you find yourself in, find a few friends to experience it with – I guarantee it will make the experience a memorable one!
Godspeed.
