This picture was taken about exactly a year ago, this was the beginning of the passion that lead me to do what I do now, let me tell you the story behind it.
I happened to visit a young adult ministry at a local church in Hermosa Beach probably two months ago. In a camping trip, I was asked to play guitar and it all started from there. I began leading worship for the young adults group called Crossroads. Leading praise and worship is a whole different ballgame. I've been in a worship team playing guitars in the past, i've been in a Christian rock band doing gigs and outreaches ... but to lead worship? (not to mention about the diversity of cultures) I prayed out to God "if You could just give me the courage and ability to lead your people, use me and I'll honor You with it." By the time that i've even known it, I was really comfortable doing it and had a great time with it.
God is just touching my heart and opening the doors of opportunity for me to serve. God released me, and the songs just poured out...
Psalms 57: 7, 9-11 My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music. I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples. For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be all over the earth.
