In My Element
I walk in the room through a side door holding a guitar that isn't mine. Everyone cheers and goes nuts.
What?
I turn and say "Well, wait until I play something, at least!!!"
They go nuts again.
I go up on stage.
I say a single word into the mic.
"Hi."
Everyone cheers again.
Okay, so now everyone here thinks I'm cool, and I've obviously built up a huge reputation at this place, when really it's just that about 15 of my friends from the Wesley Foundation are here.
I start to play, and everyone watches.
Everyone shuts up and listens.
They cheer.
They like me, they really like me!
This is my Utopia.
My God-given Utopia.
This is me in my element.
There are two times when I feel most like myself.
One is worshiping God.
Two is being on stage.
Getting to do the first by doing the other is an amazing privilege.
God, never let me forget that all I do and live and breathe is for you and because of you.
Singing for God...
This is my Utopia.
I come off stage sweaty and satisfied.
Well sung, well played.
Most importantly, well received.
Thank you my friends.
I can't say how amazing that felt.

Well DUH they like you. Who doesn't can't wait to see you at Christmas. Oh my gosh!! Guess what? I lost my voice. Can you believe it. All that talking has finally caught up with me. I have said like two words today. I can't believe I can't talk. It's like I'm getting punished for something. I was at school taday but then I came home(I've got a cough). But in first period, I didn't say anything. Not one single word. Pigs must be able to fly if I can't talk for one day. Oh dear, what if it's more than one day. I have to stop thinking about it. Okay well, love ya tons, miss ya bunches.
