yesterday, thursday...430pm, we got a call from kuya lyndon. we need to dress-up and be at makati by 5pm. naalimpungatan pa nga ata si conce ko...hehehe.
we were catching the time, service will start at 6pm. this will be his first "major" service after so many years of not being in the ministry. at first i thought the call was about his assignment as a sound technician, nde pala. then i thought he was asked to be the sound-tech for the service yesterday, well nde din pala. he was asked to be the drummer for the service...hhuuu-whaaaaat???!? i was shocked as well, but excited at the same time. it's one of the least thing i would ever thought that they will ask him to do. well for the longest time, the husby didn't really play drums in any of the services. the last time he was so involved in the ministry was 2004, and he was a sound technician for so many years...that was even before i met him year '95.
i know he's nervous, and a little scared. who wouldn't be? if you are not used of playing drums in a crowd for so so many years, and play music with other good musicians, wouldn't you feel the same? but i know that he is excited as well. the first thing he prepared was his drumstick. he got one pair from his box, and made a round of drummin'.
so we drove to the center, and he was driving so quietly. very much in a hurry, but very quiet too. 5 minutes before 6pm, and he has not practiced yet with the band. he took his sit, and position himself in front of the drum set. they prayed. and the service started.
as a stage mom as i am to my kids, i am also a stage wife to my husby. i made sure that i have with me the magnificent cam and that the SD is empty and that the batt is fully charged...hehehe. i am as excited and nervous as he is. but i trust conce, he is a good musician -- whether in front of the drum set or the mixer, he is good in what he does. he's gifted. but more than what he can do, i depend and trust in the Lord's grace to him as a musician.
i fell in love with him more again, when i saw him played the drums. it might not be perfect, but he was good. few more practice, he will be back to his own pulse.
a while ago, i was watching the video. and i immediately cried. few more minutes, and i am still crying. actually, i am crying more after than few minutes ago.
i started thanking God, in my heart & in my mind. and i remembered all those people who kept praying for him and never stopped encouraging him to go back to ministry. i first thought of our good friend irwen. i can't stop myself buzzing him at YM and telling him the good news. and then we started chatting about it. i'm lost of words to tell him, but i just kept thanking irwen. and there's my family too, who prays for him unceasingly. and to our friends who keeps on encouraging him to go back to the ministry. thanks for not giving up on him, on us. i will always be thankful to you guys.
and to God be all the glory. To HIM i am and will be forever grateful.
