Sound problems
I wanted to post to answer some comments made in regards to previous posts.
Sound here has been a real problem. The concept of good sound still has yet to reach Brazil, it seems, since they are still using concepts like side-fill monitors rather than floor monitors. This causes all kinds of problems with intelligibility on stage. One which has caused me to oversing and strain my voice. The problem comes from not being able to hear well, which is certainly not a mark against our soundman, Neil - he has done simply amazing things with limited means on this trip.
He studied at Full Sail in Orlando, Florida where I at one point also wanted to study. Doug's son Tim also studied there as well. Neil is freaking awesome. I have been thanking God everyday that he was along on this trip. Besides the ministry aspect, I think God may have sent him to keep me at peace.
All that being said, God revealed to me that with my "breakthrough", I was just a little overzealous. I jumped in with both feet, spiritually and physically. I felt like He was telling me that while I should be that aggressive with my spirit, my body is not able to keep up. So I need to remain free in my heart, but be careful with my body. Heh. Who'd have thunk?!?
Lastly, God helped me out a bit. I forgot to mention in my earlier post that upon arriving at our little beach pow-wow, that I could hardly sing a note. About half way through that worship session I sang a harmony just out of habit, and much to my surprise I had the clearest voice that I've had in years. It was awesome! Last time I had something work instantly like that was my hearing in my left ear - God is the coolest.
