Paul Coleman and the Rivercity Rollers :)

Today was an exciting day at Rivercity Community Church because Paul Coleman(Yes the same Paul Coleman who toured with the Newsboys and who is the leader of the Paul Coleman Trio) visited our church today and blessed us with the Amazing opportunity of playing with him and worshiping with him as well. It was a great time and i feel blessed listening to him open up his heart to us about where he is right now in Life, Faith and Career. Though i am fairly certain he thinks i am a creeper and most likely assumes that i will become the crazy stalker groopie... I assure you for his sake... I will not! :) OK... So i am up on the rotation for the worship team this week to be a backing vocalist with Natalie! I get an email earlier this week warning me in advance of the presence of a famous person accumpaning us on stage! So already i am stoked right!! I mean, its not everyday you meet a famous person, and well, i have never met a famous person(and now i kind of understand why that is a good thing!) So i walk in 7am to pre-service practice and i come through the doors to find... No famous person... Then, we start practice and get through a few songs. Take note that every person walking through the doors i am analyzing going through the same script with each on "Have i ever seen you before in my life?" if no then "STOP WALKING THROUGH THE DOORS I AM WAITING TO SEE A FAMOUS PERSON!" I also realize that this is not a good mind set to be in and that every person walking through those doors is a beloved child of GOD! That realization of course slipped my mind as i was in a frenzy waiting for Paul Coleman the Magnificent to arrive :)

Then, all of asuden the doors swing open and the sound of angels begin singing and an out of the ordinary ray of sunlight is beaming on this mysterious man and his right hand man as he walked through the door...(Not really, but that would have been totally awesome!) I then begin to sweat like a fat country man sitting in his rocking chair in the middle of summer. Not only that but this stupid grin grows on my face as my tongue forms the words "IS THAT THE FAMOUS GUY!!! IS HE HERE?!?!?!" Oh it was him indeed... Sazzo(Sean Azzaro) then began to reprimand me saying "You cant do that, dont say anything, Brittany stop it!" Sazzo then takes it into his own hands and brings good ol' Paul into the loop about my stupidness and Paul reacts by looking at me and saying "Aw she's cute" With those three words my shame was ignited! I then began to get so excited that tears started forming in my eyes... Like i couldnt speak, breath, and the only movement i could make was jumping up and down like a 4 year old does when they see santa. Praise the LORD i was able to control myself and turn around so he did not see my cry and i was actually able to stop myself from allowing them to roll down my helpless little face.

Needless to say i have forever scared poor Paul Coleman from every wanting to return and sing with the Rivercity Rollers(His band name for us) ever again.... I pray that one day enough therapy will help him to stop having nightmares about this crazy girl in a purple dress and cowboy boots from stalking him.

In all seriousness i will add that he does have a fantastic heart and GOD really used him to share some amazing stuff with us this morning. I was privileged to be able to sit and listen to new songs and to hear a musicians heart.
