When Chaos Attacks!

Been a crazy start to the year where it seems like you don't even have a chance to catch your breath??

You're not alone. My year last year was like that, and it set up the whole year in a crazy way.

How we react to chaos in our lives is how we really use the creativity God has given us.

See if this sounds familiar.

It's Sunday morning, and half the band doesn't show up. You're standing there minutes before the service and the pastor is praying for the team. So you get up there with a keyboard, a percussionist, and a flute player.

So instead of rockin' praise, you improvise and get people to be more involved, and do more a cappella singing with the congregation. And guess what? God shows up and everyone asks, "Why don't we do that more??"

I've got news for you. God is waiting to show up in your music and ministry.

Sometimes we get so caught up in the way things have to be, that when the agent from chaos strikes, we fear all is lost. But like secret agent Maxwell Smart, we just need to use the old "Do It A Different Way and Tell Everyone That Was the Plan All Along" trick.

When you are faced with chaos in your life, use it. Don't run from it. God can work in any situation, and sometimes when we are adapting to chaos, is when we do our best work.

It's an opportunity to let your creativity really run free...

Have a great week!
