Something About Not Being In Charge

I don't know what it is about someone else being in charge, but it tends to change my experience.

On a typical Thursday night at our Young Adults Ministry, I am in charge.  The worship people ask me for topics and feels of the music, I plan the teaching, I give instructions for the small group time.

While I acknowledge that on those practical levels I'm in charge, clearly the work is only effective if God does it.  (i had to put this blanket statement in somewhere and here was as good a spot as any)

But tonight, much like 3 weeks ago, someone else was in charge.  We had an extended time of worship tonight, so there wasn't a teaching.  That put our worship people in charge of the whole night.  I always get to experience the night differently when that happens and i'm less concerned about seeing if the outcomes are as I expected.

I enjoyed not being in charge again tonight.
