So, let's talk about faith.
Faith = complete trust or confidence in someone or something. (according to my dictionary widget)
At least, that's the first definition in the dictionary, and although a noun, this definition of the four possible denotes the most action, I think.
"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." (according to the Bible, Hebrews 11:1)
OK, those two are pretty similar. Nice. Let's just say this, I'm operating at this point on complete faith in the Lord that this weekend will be a success. Not that I haven't done EVERYTHING I can possibly think of to ensure success, but at this point, it's all up to the Lord to make it happen.
I feel like this is one of the most complicated things we've ever done since I've been here, and the most risky. Sure, there have been big elaborate sets at church for plays and stuff that we've done, but nothing so inclusive of other people and other people's events. I mean, if we don't get a set just right, we can tweak it at the last second, but if we don't show up at the right time to one of our concerts, then we affect MANY other people...
So here's the thing-people have said that you should dream big, or have a GOD-sized vision. Something so big that only God could truly take credit for it's success. Something so big that only God could really pull it off. That's kinda how I feel right now. Not that I'm Super-Faith-Man or something, I just have to believe that at this point GOD IS IN CONTROL. I'm not giving up, I'm not shirking responsibility for anything, I'm not winding down or peetering out, I'm simply saying that if everything goes well and we have three great concerts this weekend, it'll be by God's grace and mighty power.
So what about faith?
You gotta have it. It's not optional.

I believe that God will guide us through this weekend, and by His hand, we will sing for Him and bring Him glory. Please be praying.

Faith is what it is all about....stepping out in the faith that God will provide the need! When we are faithful in doing our part God is always faithfully in doing his! I'm praying we do our part!!
Faith...the evidence of things not seen YET!!!I am praying, praying, praying Daniel! FAITH is amazing. I thought I knew all about it; I was really taking it for granted. My biggest step in faith right now is because of you and Christy. If you want I'll explain sometime, but just know that you are right on! I really believe God is going to greatly reward your faith, brother. I'll be at the concert listening, watching, and cheering on God's answer to your faith. Excelsior, Daniel Semsen!!!
Yep, It's God's turn now to takeover offering of practice, and make it His masterpiece. I can't wait to see what He does!
