My secret is out. I wanna be a rock star!
Of course I think that those I served with in Elevate knew this long before I did and I’m just now realizing it. Let me explain – I had the privilege of subbing tonight in Elevate. It was so easy slipping into my old role of worship and small group leader. It was like the last 6 weeks never occurred and I was never away. That’s when you know you got it good.
So I was leading worship tonight thoroughly enjoying myself and loving the kid’s singing and at the end of the second song was a great guitar solo. And I bust out my air guitar with gusto. This was so not the first time this has happened and I assure you not the last, but it occurred to me that I love playing the air guitar and if I love playing the air guitar this much that maybe I should think about playing the real thing. So I think once I return from the Race I will look into guitar lessons. And not some pansy guitar, but the electric guitar. One with really big speakers so I can make lots of noise. And even if I’m not good at it, I’ll look like a rock star (80’s style). I certainly have the hair for it. I can make it big without any effort (really – you’ll see during the next year just how big my hair can get) and I can rock out with the best of them. So yeah – I wanna be a rock star!
God gave me dreams and desires and playing the guitar – air or real – is one of them. I have the desire to serve others which I’ll be doing full time in about 10 weeks and I hope to help those I come across to see what their dreams are that God has planted in them.
Psalm 37: 4 says “Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart”.
You have lots of desires like I do and God wants to give them to you! They can be for fun things like playing the guitar to wanting to be a doctor and everything in between. It also shows me that God wants us LOVE life and have fun. So being a head banging, big haired, air guitar playing girl fulfills both of those things and even if I never get to be a rock star outside my bedroom I still love the life God has given me and I will always want to have lots of fun!
