Sarah – beautifully written and it speaks from your heart.

i didn’t know you knew how the play the guitar but i did sit by you and heard you sing- your voice is better than average my friend. i actually wondered if you and chad had ever lead together or sang together?

what interesting things God taught you through that experience.

i love learning new things about you!

Took me a while, but I got over here to read this eventually. This is really valuable insight for me, as a worship leader, to know how others can be on the outer. Thank you so much…and beautifully written as always.

Wow, great comments, Sarah. Thanks for sharing them! They were a huge encouragement to me because I have been in exactly the same boat. In fact, my church’s worship committee just voted to discontinue the service I’ve been leading worship at, for the last five years, because of low attendance and perceived ‘lack of support.’ I’m sad, I’m angry, I’m elated, and everything in between. Through all of this I know that God is bigger, and far more loving, and utterly capable of dealing with these feeble emotions of mine, and that He may use your WL experience, and maybe mine too, to bring glory to Himself — and contentment for us. Amen. Come quickly, Lord Jesus.

I appreciated the understanding of what a worship leader gives of his or herself in planning, rehearsing, and leading worship for a Sunday morning. I also appreciated how Sarah shared a very personal situation and how she and her husband took time off of ministry to reconnect.

As always my love, you seem to capture in words what the heart of so many others are feeling!

I have to admit the first night we met when I was leading worship and you were sitting in the audience…my thoughts weren’t on worship!

I love you dearly and thank you for keeping my eyes on the prize of the Cross.

The gentleness in your spirit and your honesty touched me.
It is something I needed to read at this point in my life.
God used you to speak to me when I needed it.
You will never know how you affirmed, convicted and ministered to me.

Blessings to you.
Glory to God.
