Sing me a song...

Here In India, I have realize something that happens every now and again...that you would never see happen in America.

You will be standing around with people, and then one person will say " I have written a song, and I will sing it for you." out of no where. Everyone then gets quiet, and they begin to sing. After the song is over we all clap and then continue to talk. The other day we had a gathering of full time and part time students. We also had it planned out who was going to do skits and music. The funny thing is, someone would just say " I want to perform a dance.." and then they would go up and perform on the spot. A girl asked me once to play guitar to a song i never knew...It was the strangest 3 mintues of my life...and I think of hers as well. I attempted to find the key she was singing in, then play it...but it didn't work that way.

Tonight, we have a friend Wilfer who came over to help the couple I am staying with. When he arrived he was waiting with me in the kitchen, and just said..." I am going to sing you a song I wrote", and then said " Oh are you making fun of my song introductions?" ( because I have played my songs for the students and that is how i introduce them.) He said, " NO...I want to sing you my own song i wrote 4 years ago." He then starts singing in the kitchen at 8 at night. It was an awesome song, about His bones and blood being alive by Jesus. I just found it so funny, us just standing alone in a kitchen while he sang. I stood watching, but was the only audience.


P.s. Tonight I said my goodbyes to the part time students, and got a chance to lead worship for them as well. It was sad to know I won't see them...until I see them. I hate the idea of never seeing them again, so I believe I will somehow see them.

I love India.
