I know he can, I know he can, I know he can

hey everyone. well it's late but for some reason I felt I needed to say my bit for the day. I was just thinking about the many people in my life. Like just today I had a practice with my worship team. The different people, with different experiences and different ideas can make some very interesting (and fun) situation. But it is kind of a random group. All from different parishes, we didn't even all know each other when we first started. But there we were people who used to be strangers working together, struggling together and celebrating together. We are doing an event for the diocese of Montreal in a couple of weeks and the organizers asked if we could put a choir together for it (normally we are 6 vocalist, 3 guys and 3 girls). So next week our random group will welcome anywhere between 10 and 25 new random people to join us in leadership. Yes it is only for this one event but it is still a partnership. These new members are probably even more random then the first group, but that's the point. We don't need to see or understand the link between us, we don't need to know how well we will work together, we don't even need to know how many can sing harmony. Instead we trust something called providence, a cool little gift that well make those who are meant to be there availible. A cool little gift from God. We so often forget that God truly does take care of us, we give Him trust and he won't let us down. And so I trust that there will be a large enough choir, I trust that God will bring guys who want to see, I trust that our key changes go smoothly, I trust that all instruments will be in key, I trust that we will be ready, I trust that He really did call us to this purpose. Now it's my turn to practice, my turn to have the meetings that are needed, my turn to type up changes, and my turn to do my job. I know that if I do my job, God will do His, because that desire to serve lies at the heart of life, it's worship.
