STOP SINGING!

"Para la honra y gloria del Señor," they said. 

I was about 16 years old when these ladies came to my church. They were "special guests." They began talking about empowering women after being beat up by their husbands or something and they began to sing... 

Growing up I never held in my laughter, whether it was in class, prayer, hospitals or even funerals. [I am stating a historic moment - I am not proud of it; it was really immature and should have been disciplined] I laughed, turned to my mom and saw her investing her soul in the worship along with these ladies. 

So I sat on the bench and put my head down to hide my face. I felt guilty about laughing at these ladies praising God.

I was 18 years old when I visited a friend's church. The whole band was one family. The pastor - family of the band. The whole church was led by the family (via kin). When the band came on stage, I noticed that a girl was going to lead, instictively I imagined her to have a soft or high voice but man was I wrong. Her voice was deep and it cracked at the middle of every word. She belted every single word of "Hosanna." 

Is it just me or is that sad? Is it pride? Why don't they make the effort to include the church in the worship team?

Personally, I don't think anyone should get the microphone and sing louder than anyone if their voice sounds like a drowning cat. We all have talents, God promised them.
