July 7, 2008

Well, in actuality it's the 8th...

celebrations. freedom. independence.

is independence really independence? absolutely not. i need to realize each day that my dependence is on God and on God alone. this past Sunday, i was asked to play flute with the worship team. all last week i was honestly struggling. why am i being asked? i'm not good enough. what if i mess up? i'm not good enough. i'm not good enough....I'M NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

but then i hear a voice. almost audible. "linna, who are you trying to do this for? why are you so anxious? am I not good enough for you that you are worried about what everyone else thinks of your abilities?"

thank you, God, for the gentle reminder that yes, You alone are good...and You alone deserve my praise, no matter what it sounds like. You look at my heart, and i pray that what you saw was one giving the praise back to you.

oh, and thank you also that i survived without any major errors. it was really fun! :)
