How to be a Ding-a-Ling?! Maybe it should be "Why I am a Ding-a-Ling?"
This year I have stepping beyond my comfort zone along with getting settled in my new community. I have so enjoyed being back in Nebraska, closer to family.
I have spent the past year searching for a new church home. In August, I believe God led me to my church home ~ Capitol City Christian Church. I am attending a wonderful women's Bible class on Sunday mornings. Great group of prayer warriors and so understanding of my erratic schedule. Also a love for God and His word. I am also attending a women's Bible Study on Tuesday evenings.
Now for the step out of the comfort zone. It has been years since I've sung in a choir or small group. But with so many churches looking for the "professional" worship team or choir, I have not been in choir. I can sing and enjoy doing so, but I'm not a sightreader so I have to work on learning the songs. CCCC has a Christmas Celebration that is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate Christmas and share the gospel. I attended the celebration last year. So...I decided to participate this year. It is definitely a commitment with 14 performances in addition to practices and rehearsals. Each practice thus far has been a worship experience...not just choir practice.
A week ago I attended the large group choreography practice. Oh my! What were my two left feet doing there?! But I was going to try it. Well, I think God (after getting a good laugh) decided to have compassion on me. After a slight twist of my knee on Wednesday and subsequent chiropractic adjustment on Thursday, I thought it probably was not in the best interest of my knee to do crossovers and pivots.
So now I'm a ding-a-ling. I will help play handbells during the Christmas celebration. I can count and read music. No left feet required. *smile* Specifically, I am a C# and B ding-a-ling.
