Preparing for National Quartet Convention 2011
As I write this, it’s Friday night before the National Quartet Convention. I know there are things I’m forgetting as it gets down to the final day of preparation. The things I remember can be overwhelming but I continue to plug away. I’m very thankful to be able to attend this year and I know God has good things in store.
If you’ve attended NQC before, you know how long the days can be and how tired one can get by mid-week. For me, it doesn’t make it less enjoyable. I hope it never does. At the same time, I also know how easy it is to get so busy at a gospel event that you don’t take time for God and I want to remind you that we need Him ALL the time. Don’t neglect Him in the midst of the busyness. If you don’t have time to connect with Him before you head to the convention, make sure you take some time when you get there. If you’re like me, you’re looking for a blessing at NQC but you also need to be a blessing. It truly is more blessed to give than to receive and you never know who may be looking for a word fitly spoken or a smile to cheer a saddened heart. It may even be someone who doesn’t know the Lord and needs to see Him in you. This may be a vacation (well, for me, a working one) but Jesus is the reason we’re there and He has a purpose for allowing us to be there.
On a personal note, I would love to meet those of you who read my blog regularly. I will be at Booth 304 and, if you get there when I’m not there, they can tell you when I’ll be back. If I remember, we’ll also have samples of our magazines which you can look through. Subscriptions are $10 so, if you like to read and you need encouragement, check those out as well.
Don’t forget to pray for me the next couple days and I’ll see you next week!
