12. OOPS! TWAS A MISTAKE!

Day 12 :

Over the couple of years God has allowed me to stand and minister in song, I have had to learn the great attribute of rising above a mistake.

It’s almost inevitable that our presentations are accompanied by mistakes, some greater than others. From forgotten lyrics to incorrect lines to misplaced routines. Some lyrics we have had to live with were not part of the script!

A most recent mistake for me; ‘Dancing in Your Light’ was the last addition to the Worship Moments Album Recording. At the last rehearsal, we added a new bridge (the part which is neither the verse or chorus 😅😅) and all was set.

Come recording, right at Art Farm, the song is going, chorus done, its time for the bridge…. “Bridge! bridge!”

Bridge was not bridging…!

I remember looking at the team for help, noone was coming to the rescue… they had also forgotten!!🤦‍♀️

I started singing a new bridge: “My praise, wont stop right now!”

The younger me would have buckled under. Probably stopped the song, fixed the lyrics and lost confidence for the rest of the night. It was a recording for crying out loud! 😅😅

But, what if that line was God’s intended plan?

Funny enough this has become my favorite part of the song!

I learnt that a lot of inventions we celebrate were mistakes that were given opportunity. These include coca-cola, potato chips and even matches!!

Children too!! 😜😅😂😂😝😅

Just makes me think, how many products would have seen the light of day had we not been over consumed with the one outcome we are vying for. 🤔🤔

In creativity, nothing goes to waste, it’s either we learn or we repurpose ♻️♻️

One who has made 100 mistakes stands stronger and better positioned that one contemplating to make 1 perfect move.

Prov 24:16- though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again,

Yes it was a mistake, we learn, we rise again with more determination.
