A Letter to the Worship Team

Because you don't get thanked nearly as much as you should

Thank you. I thank you from the depths of my heart. Thank you for your continual pursuit of bettering your God-given talent. Thank you for the hours you spent working on chords and pitches and harmonies and all the other things I can’t even begin to understand about music. Thank you for not giving up all those times you wanted to. The times when you couldn’t seem to get it right or didn’t think there was enough time in the day to practice as much as you would need.

Thank you for sharing your abilities with us. Thank you for getting up on that stage and giving it your all. Thank you for not letting fear or nerves get in the way. I’m sure there are times when you just really don’t want to. Times when your fear seemed overwhelming. Thanks for getting up there even then. For stepping out of your comfort zone and using the gifts you’ve been given.

Thank you for not singing at us, but worshiping with us. Thank you for worshiping and not performing. For making those precious few minutes not about you, but about our God. You are so gifted and so talented, and it would be so easy to make this all about you, but you don’t. You realize that this ability is only thanks to God, the giver of all good things. You’re an inspiration to us all on how we should humbly steward the talents and abilities we have been given.

Thank you for giving us a space to praise the One who created it all. For choosing songs with lyrics that are filled with the truth of God’s Word. Songs that will stick with us for days, months, and years to come, so that every time we think of them, we will be pointed back to Christ.

Most importantly, thank you for giving us a little glimpse of what eternity in heaven will look like. If only for a moment, a time to humbly sing praises and bring honor to the only One worthy of it.

Day and night they never stop saying: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come.” Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say: “You are worthy, our Lord and God to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.”

Revelation 4:8-11

Sing to the Lord, all the earth; proclaim his salvation day after day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples. For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods.

1 Chronicles 16:23-25

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
