Stressful Times...

So there is only 4 more days till Easter and this time of the year is pretty stressful in my years as choir director. I had been off for 2 yrs...but here we go again. This year had been off to a very great beginning to tell you the truth and one of my best years as choir director. But the devil doesn't like that at all so he brought one of the most difficult and stressful times ever. I had a confrontation with one of my members and was caught up in a 1 on 1. I thank the Lord for my strength and for His Grace to stay calm...at one point I wanted to throw in the towel, but I realized I'm not here for "man". What I do I do it for God and no one else...no matter who stands in my way. As a leader you have to make some choices, and I've learned that, almost always, you will make decisions that some will not like...and you know what, that's just too bad for them, because that's the way the cookie crumbles!
In every group or class, there are rules, and if you don't want to abide by them...I'm sorry, you don't have to be there, if you don't want to be. As adults we are entitles to make our own choices...lets try to make the right ones! And just remember that after the storm comes the blessings.
We have been practicing for over 2 months now for Easter and we still have one more practice on Saturday...I ask your prayers for a good practice and for an excellent Cantata Easter Sunday. And everything we do, we do for Him.
