Charlie Hall was sharing about how he led worship at a Christian festival and afterwards, he was led to a tent where he was supposed to sign autographs. He said it was one of the most uncomfortable things for him because he was uncomfortable with the idea that he was gonna sign people's stuff. But also because very few people asked for it! haha. There was a time there though that some of the worship leaders were praying over people. I was really blessed when Matt Redman prayed for me and said some encouraging words. But I have to admit that part of me developed a case of celebrityitis... I remember when I was at Facedown in Atlanta.
