Excited to Praise!

Yesterday, Feb.26,2012, we had such an awesome time rejoicing in His Presence. 10:30am @ 27th Street Revival Center, service starts. Me and Jessica Rios began to open up the service with just praise. I told Hector (Lead guitarist) to just play and we will worship and get the atmosphere ready. I was a little nervous but that was fine. The praises went up and the Glory fell. I was excited to sing to HIM, to lead HIS people into HIS PRESENCE! I wanted to jump throughout both of the fast songs, but was a little afraid I would fall from my heals. (Its hard to wear flats, especially on a Sunday Service lol) So I stomped my foot instead and snapped my fingers. Jessica was feeling it too! The congregation was so involved and I know that the LORD was receiving what belonged to HIM. I wanted so bad for Jessica to sing "Perfume a Tus Pies" by En Espiritu y Verdad, which we haven't done in a long while. I tell you, when she started the congregation instantly joined in, sounding like an angelic choir. It sounded so awesome and heavenly. I know that if me and Jess loved to hear it, then it was obvious that Jesus, on His Heavenly throne, stood up and smelled the aroma of praise coming from HIS children from the 27th Street Revival Center! Like our Music Director Ivan Perez says, "If the congregation responds to a new song, then we can do it".(musically & spiritually speaking) We(music ministry) believe in worshiping to songs that will not only touch the Heart of God, but that the people will join in and touch HIS Heart with us. Its amazing to fall in Love over and over and over again with our Savior Jesus Christ. I'm so excited to be a part of the 27th Street Revival Center, to be a part of this amazing,Spirit-filled,musically talented/skilled, passionate ministry! I am looking forward to many years of worship leading! Just my thoughts....
