Last night was a great end to a great day off. Our staff gathered in the apartment that the boys sleep in and tried to watch a movie. It failed so we just talked about all things not related to YouthWorks. Then we laid outside under the stars. They were beautiful!! There isn't really much of a description to give. Imagine a place where it gets pretty much pitch black dark, and there is no pollution, and a clear sky. Glorious Stars!!
A few staff members stuck it out and slept outside. I didn't quite make it the whole night....but gladly returned to sleeping in the warm house. Don't get me wrong, I can rock a hard ground and a sleeping bag...I've done it before, but last night the airmattress and the house were very much appreciated.
On a different note:
I am not musical. At all. And I've always known I would never ever be a worship leader. Until I came to YouthWorks, where all of our staff has to stand on our stage and lead worship. We have to sing loud enough for the students to follow along. This is unfortunate because I cannot sing loudly, and I can rarely sing on pitch of in tune or whatever it is called. I really dislike having to lead music. I'm just not confident in it, and I've become more and more confident in my singing, just to survive on stage, but it is false confidence because I don't sound any better than I did when I was singing in the audience.
After this summer I will gladly return the priviledge and pressure of song leadership to all you who are musical and have lovely voices.
