Okay so the other day we had our community meeting and we had invited different churches to help with the worship. Let’s just say that the boys were a bit nervous and had never played together. Also in Cambodia they have never really learned about beats. It kind of reminds me of the movie “The Jerk” where Steve Martin is born into a black family and he cannot clap on beat.
So anyways they started to sing and when Khmer play the keyboard they put it on trumpet sounds, so the song is being played at extremely high notes. I looked around at the foreigners and saw the looks on their faces. I thought if my brother Matt was here, who is a musician he would be cringing in the back. Then they started to sing “I will sing of your love forever” and I belted it out with such joy because in the midst of off beat, horrible sounds and singing, it didn’t matter because I still wanted to worship our loving and amazing God, and I wanted to sing of His love forever.

Oh how I miss Cambodia's worship. It is the only place where I found no one could care less if I can't sing... because well, they can't really either! And it doesn't matter! LOVE IT!!
