[Worship] Being a worshipper



Hi all,

I wanted to just share something that I hoped some of you may be able to 
relate to or give input on.

This past Sunday we had a wonderfully anointed time of worship (from my 
perspective).  I was leading and found it easy to 'enter in' to His 
presence in worship. Later on in the service we had a special guest - 
evangelist, singer, songwriter - who began by singing some of his songs 
and encouraged us to enter into worship with him.  The strange thing was 
I was having a really hard time to 'enter in'.  I had a hard time even 
following him in the songs let alone worshipping through the songs.  I'm 
just feeling somewhat discouraged that I couldn't seem to worship in the 
Lord's presence under someone else's direction.  It's happened before 
too when I'd be visiting a church and would try to 'enter in'.  It 
concerns me because I want to FIRST be a true worshipper and after that 
a worship leader.  If I find it difficult to worship under someone elses 
leadership... something seems to be wrong.  I'm also questioning if 
others feel like I'm 'leaving them behind' when I lead.  I can get so 
caught up in worship myself I'm afraid maybe I'm insensitive to where 
the people in the congregation are at and running ahead of them.

Sorry this is so long...just wondered if anyone has experienced this or 
have been given any insights on it.

Blessings!
Ruth
