Sunday means music

Ever since I was sixteen, and my church back home in Florida let me play the Djembe that my brother brought back from Africa, I've been involved in regular sunday church worship. I graduated to a full drum set when I was about 18, and thats because I went out and bought what I had always wanted, a Pearl drum set. Since then, I've played in several churches, and the latest is Rives Baptist church here in Jackson Michigan. I've been involved with the youth group for the past three semesters helping with guitar and vocals on sunday nights (I help out with more than music though), and then about the middle of last semester was offered the chance to play drums on sunday mornings, I jumped at the chance! I love playing drums, I don't know why, but I love it more than the guitar, more than the piano, and maybe even more than singing, it just jives with something deep inside me.

I'll do anything to serve the Lord, and even though I love music, and love praising God with music, I'm alright with any role he has me in. The greatest expression of worship I can display towards my savior is setting my own desires and interests aside in favor of what he would have me do, but I'm still glad I can be used in the music area!
